A Michelin-star chef explains his choice
Why Michelin-Star Chef James Whitmore Cooks on Titanium, and Refuses to Touch Anything Else
James Whitmore has spent his career in Michelin-star kitchens and cooked on every pan there is: cast iron, stainless steel, ceramic, copper and every non-stick coating on the market. Today he reaches for one pan, and one only. Here is why.
01 — No Hidden Chemicals
Every coated pan I have used has let me down within months. The coating scratches, it blisters, and eventually it ends up in the food. And the “safe” alternatives still put something in your food: non-stick sheds PFAS “forever chemicals”, ceramic coatings wear away as you cook, stainless steel can leach nickel and chromium, aluminium leaches into acidic dishes, and cast iron releases iron into everything you make. OMEGA is 100% titanium, with no coating to break down. Nothing is sprayed on, and it cooks the same on day one as it does on day one thousand.
02 — PFAS-Free. Truly.
The chemicals known as “forever chemicals” are in a lot of the cookware sold as “safe.” They build up in the body, and they do not leave. One of them, PFOA, is classified by the WHO’s cancer agency as carcinogenic to humans. Regulators are already moving to restrict them. I refuse to cook with them, in the restaurant or at home. OMEGA’s titanium contains none. No PFAS, no PTFE, no PFOA. Nothing sprayed on.
03 — Non-Stick Without the Chemicals
The hand-hammered texture gives food a clean release once the pan is properly preheated with a little oil, the way a well-seasoned professional pan behaves. Eggs slide. Fish lifts away whole. No chemical layer doing the work for you. Just the metal, the heat, and the food.
04 — The Last Pan You’ll Ever Buy
The average non-stick pan lasts one to three years. A titanium cooking surface does not wear the same way, because there is nothing to wear away. I know what lasts in a working kitchen. This does. OMEGA backs every pan with a lifetime warranty, and I doubt most people will ever need it.
05 — One Pan for Everything
Induction, gas, electric and the oven. Dishwasher safe and metal-utensil safe. In a working kitchen you need a pan that does not flinch. At home, with a family to feed, that matters even more.
06 — It Is Honest. That Is Why I Put My Name on This Deal.
There is nothing to hide under the surface. No coating, no chemical, no compromise. When OMEGA asked me to back an offer, this was the only kind of pan I was willing to stand behind. When I cook for my own family, it is what I reach for. I think most people, if they knew what was in the alternatives, would feel the same.
One warning: OMEGA’s success has brought a wave of copies, often aluminium pans with a cheap “titanium” coating sprayed on. OMEGA is the original: real titanium, not a coating.

“I’ve cooked with every material there is. OMEGA’s titanium is the surface I trust: no coating breaking down, no reaction with acids, no compromise.”
★★★★★
“My research said Omaga titanium pan was number one. So far it cooks great and no sticking. Time will tell if it holds true. I’ll then give it another review.”
★★★★★
“This pan is incredible! I love, love, love it! You know that you’re eating healthier because nothing extra is going into your food, and I just can’t figure out how they make it nonstick. It’s absolutely beautiful and amazing!!”
★★★★★
“We have used our 10 " pan and are completely satisfied as to non sticky surface and is safe to use , thank you, Del.”
★★★★★
“Took a while to arrive but the pan is lovely, feels sturdy. Followed instructions then fried 2 eggs, they did not stick. Went in dish washer fine. Hoping it stays good with more use. If its still good in a few months i will buy more.”
★★★★★
“Wonderful pan, everything is perfect, took bit longer to arrive but well worth the wait.”
★★★★★
“I was very excited to use my cookware when it arrived. I've only used it twice and need more time to get used to it but I love them!”
★★★★★
“There is a learning curve, but a fun one. Especially nice knowing that this is a chemical free pan that I can keep forever, not just until the coating rubs off like other non stick pans. Always cleans-up easily and continues to look brand new. Kudos!”
★★★★★
“The pan is nice my eggs don’t stick, but the pan is too big. I need a smaller pan a 7 inch for just my eggs in the morning. Do you have anything that can be that size and also so that the paying the aid can just roll out the side of the pan let me know. Thank you.”
★★★★★
“I love that I can cut into a piece of chicken and not ruin the pain. The chicken had a nice crust on it. Worth every penny!”

The OMEGA Hand-Hammered Titanium Pan is made of real titanium: no coating, no PFAS, no PTFE, no PFOA. The hand-hammered texture helps food release naturally, it is metal-utensil safe and dishwasher safe, and it works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction.
Non-Toxic Materials
The only thing that touches your food is pure titanium. Nothing is sprayed on, so there is nothing to scratch, flake or wear off into your food, and nothing that breaks down at high heat. Titanium is the same metal trusted for surgical implants because it does not react with what it touches.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping
Free shipping on every order. Orders placed before midnight ship the next business day.
Returns
Try it for 90 days. If it is not for you, send it back for a full refund. Every pan is also covered by our lifetime warranty.
Cook & Cleaning
First use
Heat the pan on medium-low, add a teaspoon of oil and spread it evenly for 2 minutes.
Cooking
Titanium heats fast. Start lower than you are used to: medium on titanium works like high heat on other pans. Preheat, then add a little oil for the cleanest release.
Cleaning
Let it soak in soapy water, then wash clean. Dishwasher safe.
