Sustainable cookware that makes a lasting impression

How titanium dioxide (TiO2) helps create durable, versatile, attractive and efficient kitchenware for better, more sustainable cooking.
As any owner of a set of enamel cookware will confirm, cast-iron, porcelain enamel is one of the toughest, longest-lasting and most versatile types of kitchenware. TiO2 is a crucial element in the creation of porcelain enamel for cookware, contributing to its unique look and providing heat absorption, acid resistance and antibacterial qualities.
While lightweight stainless-steel pots and pans have become widely used in recent years, enamel cookware has remained a popular and reliable choice in homes and with chefs since the mid-1800s for a number of reasons:
- The iron base of enamel cookware distributes heat evenly, cooking food more consistently both in the oven and on the stove
- The non-reactive enamel glaze prevents the pan’s iron from rusting or discolouring, lengthening its life-span
- Enamel is naturally non-stick, and therefore requires less oil or butter with cooking, making it a good companion for healthier eating
- Enamel is scratch proof, so not only does the non-stick surface last a long time, but it also prevents deposits or a metallic taste contaminating the food
Porcelain enamelling also offers the freedom of colour options and designs, enabling cooks to match their kitchenware with their interior décor.
