This technology is the very first of its kind, setting a new standard in cookware. It uses ultra-durable titanium, which is 300% harder than stainless steel, to create an interior surface that is virtually indestructible. Mimicking the Lotus Effect (the phenomenon of water droplets forming on leaves, rather than being absorbed), the pattern pressed into the titanium makes the interior naturally hydrophobic, which in turn creates a nonstick effect. The surface simultaneously sears (really well, we might add), while the sunken pockets create airflow and a nonstick experience.
