Great product.
Really pleased with the product. It is rather heavy though.

No Coating · No Flakes
This Pan Sticks for 10 Seconds. Here's Why That's the Point.
Solid-forged titanium. No coating, so nothing can flake into your food. Give it a 10-second preheat and eggs slide. Skip it and they'll stick. We'd rather say that upfront.

The Problem
You've seen the flakes. You've asked the question.
"My non-stick pan has started peeling. Is it still safe to use?"
It's one of the most-asked kitchen questions in Britain, and the honest answer is the one nobody selling you a replacement wants to give: every coated pan does this. Not because you did anything wrong. A non-stick coating is a consumable. It's engineered to wear out, usually within 2 to 4 years. You're not buying a pan; you're renting a surface.
And now MPs are urging manufacturers to phase out the "forever chemicals" behind those coatings. Scientists call them that because PFAS never leave your body. Parliament is debating your frying pan. That's not a marketing line. That happened in April.
A coated pan is engineered to die every 2–4 years
The Trap
So you looked at titanium. And nearly got done.
Search "titanium pan" and you'll find dozens of adverts promising miracle non-stick for £30. Here's what the labels don't say: "titanium-infused", "titanium finish" and "titanium alloy surface" usually mean an aluminium pan wearing a decorative layer of titanium paint. Real customers found out the hard way:
"I was taken. I consider myself a savvy buyer — not this time."Verified buyer, 1-star review
"You can't return because it cost a fortune and they are not titanium."Verified buyer, 1-star review
That's why "titanium sticks" reviews exist. It isn't titanium failing. It's fake titanium doing exactly what cheap aluminium does.
How to spot a fake titanium pan
- The label says "infused", "coated" or "alloy surface" instead of solid.
- No construction diagram anywhere on the page.
- A was-price slashed by 60–70% that never existed.
- No returns policy you can actually act on.
Check us against all four. Please.
The Mechanism
Solid titanium, hammered thousands of times. That's the whole trick.
The Sunday Pan is solid-forged titanium: the same metal all the way through. Run a magnet over it, scratch the surface, cut it in half if you like. There's no layer to find because there's no layer at all.
The non-stick isn't a coating. It's geometry. The HammerPeak™ surface is thousands of hand-hammered micro-peaks: your food rests on the peaks while oil settles into the valleys between them. Preheat for 10 seconds, add a little butter or oil, and eggs release with a nudge. That's also why it never wears out — you can't peel a shape.
The Sunday Pan
One metal. The peaks are hammered into the titanium itself, so the surface can never separate from the pan.
A coated pan
Two materials. The layer wears, scratches and flakes; when it goes, the pan goes with it.
1 · Preheat 10 secondsMedium heat, empty pan. Count it out; it matters.
2 · A little oil or butterIt settles into the valleys between the peaks.
3 · Eggs slideFood rests on the peaks and releases with a nudge.
Why Switch
Six reasons British kitchens are switching
Nothing to peel
No coating means no flakes in the fry-up, ever.
No forever chemicals
No PFAS, no PTFE, nothing Parliament wants banned.
The 10-second rule
Honest non-stick: preheat, oil, slide. We teach it on a card in the box.
Buy once maths
Coated pans die every 2–4 years; £35 a funeral. This one carries a 25-year warranty.
Every hob, no drama
Gas, induction, electric, oven. One pan for the full English and the Sunday roast finish.
800g. Light enough for one hand
Titanium strength without the cast-iron wrist workout. Flipping is a wrist movement, not a workout.
The Honest Bit
What this pan won't do (read this before buying)
It won't behave like Teflon on day one — nothing real does. Skip the preheat and your egg will stick, exactly like one reviewer of a rival pan complained: "I tried to fry an egg and it stuck immediately." That reviewer wasn't wrong. He just wasn't told. You have been.
It marks with use. Solid metal takes on character. The interior darkens where the heat lives. It's patina, not damage.
It's not the cheapest pan you can buy. It's the last one you'll need to.

Questions
Asked before buying
"How do I know this isn't another Facebook titanium scam?"
Fair question. That's the industry we're stuck in. Three things you can verify before spending a penny: the construction cutaway above (solid metal, no layers), our plain-English free-returns policy, and a guarantee you can act on for 100 days. Run our four-point fake-spotting checklist on us. We wrote it to be passed.
"How heavy is it?"
The 28cm weighs 800g. That is the whole point of titanium: you get metal that lasts decades without the cast-iron forearm. You can lift it, tilt it and flip with one hand, and it goes from hob to oven without you bracing yourself first.
"Will eggs actually not stick? I've read the reviews on those other pans."
With the 10-second preheat and a little fat: yes, they slide. Without it: they'll stick, and we've said so since the headline. The difference from the pans in those reviews: ours is solid titanium with a hammered surface, not painted aluminium. The technique works because the surface is real.
"£90 for a frying pan?"
£89.95 once, versus roughly £35 every 2 to 4 years forever. By year ten the coated route has cost you £105+ and three trips to the bin. And ours comes with 25 years of warranty to hold us to it.
"Is titanium itself safe?"
Titanium is the metal they make hip replacements and dental implants from: inert enough to live inside a human body. No coating, no PFAS, no PTFE. What Parliament wants out of cookware simply isn't in this pan.
"What if it arrives and I don't love it?"
100-Day Home Trial: use it properly, decide slowly. Returns are free, refunds are full, and support is a human at support@sundaycookware.com who answers in plain English.

The criticisms, answered
“Everything sticks.”
Cold, it will. That is the first line of this page, not a secret: ten seconds of heat and a little fat, and the egg releases. A pan that asks nothing of you is a pan with a coating on it, and the coating is the part that dies.
“It discoloured already.”
Heat tints metal. That is a stain on the surface, not damage to it, and vinegar or a stainless cleaner takes it straight back. Nothing is wearing through, because there is no coating sitting on top to wear.
“Not worth the price.”
Fair, if a pan is a thing you replace. This one is priced to be bought once. A coated pan costs about £35 every two to four years, forever, and each one ends in the bin peeling.

Next Sunday Morning
The eggs slide, the sausages brown evenly, and nobody's wondering what the black flecks are.
