Cuisinart (and other) Titanium Nonstick Cookware

Never mind ... I found the answer after a second search.

 

Is there plastic (PTFE, etc) material in the nonstick coating?  Is the "Quantanium"

coating more durable than typical nonstick coating?  Anyone know more about this? 

Thanks!

So what was the answer?

Sorry ... The Quantanium coating contains PTFE ...

It's all based on PTFE and it's all disposable. If you really need a nonstick pan, best to get a cheap one. Restaurant stores are a safe bet.

I don't need a nonstick pan.  Actually, I'm trying to get away from using them at all because of the plastic in them.  When I saw this "Quantanium" I thought it might not contain plastic ... oh, well, one can hope.

 

I've replaced my 10-inch nonstick with a 10-inch All-Clad skillet.  For what I cook, and how I cook, it needs little oil and doesn't stick at all, beyond what I want it to do.

There are a lot of issues with nonstick pans, but it's beyond my imagination why plastic would be one of them. But yeah, unless you're doing lots of egg cookery, or delicate fish with the skin on, there isn't much justification for nonstick. a metal surface almost always gives better results.
