About Scanpan and why we love it

Scanpan's core focus throughout their 60-year history has always been making quality Danish-produced cookware that is durable and produced in a way that is environmentally ethical. Each cookware piece is individually hand-cast in recycled aluminium using high-tech patented technologies. This effort and workmanship have placed Scanpan's name and famed non-stick quality at the forefront of the cookware scene.

Scanpan's evolution of its non-stick coating, known as Stratanium, is one of the reasons why we love this cookware brand. By breaking the boundaries of what a standard non-stick surface can do, this company has successfully developed a lasting non-stick coating that demonstrates durability, functionality, and unique frying properties altogether.

Why Scanpan non-stick Stratanium is safer and non-toxic?

Scanpan's Stratanium coatings have always been made free of PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) which is a chemical that is known to be toxic and was commonly used in the composition non-stick pans up until a few years ago. Thankfully the Stratanium coating is metal utensil safe and capable to withstand temperature up to 260°C that ensures it's durable and will not flake or release into food when cooking at higher temperatures as cheaper quality pans are known to.

Stratanium's Unique Coating:

• Includes multiple layers of non-stick coating, consisting of small and large hard particles that interlock with thermally sprayed layers to strengthen the non-stick coating (view image below)
• Layered in a method that increases the combined thickness, resulting in a 30% increase in toughness, durability, resistance to abrasion, and overall lifespan
• Offers better cooking results and performance in the kitchen

With radically new advancements of technology, Scanpan succeeded yet again to improve their already exceptional non-stick coating called the Stratanium+. The Stratanium+ coating marries unrivalled releasability with over-the-top frying properties to meet the standard of professional chefs. It surpasses existing non-stick coatings when it comes to durability and strength, allowing for easy food release and effortless cleaning.

Professional chefs put the new coating to the test with high praise of it being a complete breakthrough for non-stick cookware. This new Stratanium+ surface ensures even better frying during use. The rough surface creates a series of micro-holes to improve frying factors, literally turning the surface akin to a griddle.

One of the most important factors noted by chefs that makes the Stratanium+ outstanding was the degree of crispiness and special browning that forms when frying. It makes it a unique feature as it focuses on bringing out different flavours and tastes compared to traditional non-stick pans.

The Stratanium+ coating is something out of the ordinary and is therefore selected for only a few series: TechnIQ in aluminium and HaptIQ in mirror-polished steel.

 Scanpan's HaptIQ series redefines geometry and angles by having an edged look. Whereas the Scanpan's TechnIQ series features a sleek, polished surface that gives it a unique and fashionable look in the kitchen. Apart from having the new Stratanium+ non-stick coating, both series also meet the standards and cooking preferences of professional chefs, home cooks, and foodies alike. Both series are also suitable for use on all cooktops including induction, are oven safe up to 260C, and are exceptionally easy to clean both in the dishwasher and by hand.

What makes Scanpan environmentally friendly?

Scanpan also takes great pride in bringing you sustainably made cookware that is environmentally-friendly. Each cookware piece utilises 100% recycled aluminium from beer cans, bicycle frames, and more to create excellent cookware without compromising on quality.

When recycled aluminium is completely melted down, it becomes pure raw material that is as good as new, sharing the same unrivalled qualities of heat conduction. What's more, the use of recycled aluminium aids in reducing carbon footprint, ensuring that no resource goes to waste. With that, Scanpan is able to reduce waste and energy usage over the production process to bring you environmentally-friendly and sustainably made quality cookware pieces.
