Since titanium is fused with liquid aluminum in the scanpan, when you cook with it do you now get aluminum into your body?

I don't think so. The fusion process prevents the interaction with food. It is like anodized aluminum.

I figure not! The pans are non-stick, therefore not cooking on the metal but the non-stick coating

I've had excellent results with this pot and titanium in general while backpacking. However, care must be taken to never heat the pot while empty or warping may result.

Yes I do believe the aluminum core runs throught the entire pot, this is a GREAT pot wo work with and the heat distributes so very well.

Be careful, I've read something about certain Intel chips that have aluminum IHSs (Integrated Heat Speader, or the 'lid') and Liquid Pro will RUIN any aluminum it comes in contact with. Your chip might not have an aluminum IHS, but i'd see if you can find out what it's made of first. If it's anything other than aluminum you should be ok.

I have never heard that before. The only thing I can think of that may have bearing on the topic is that aluminum foil isn't good to use on food due to the possibility of aluminum salts getting into the food, and aluminum isn't good to ingest.

As a tea affectionado myself, I empathize with your concern. As Stoker has said, if you hold the cup only by the handles, you won't get burned. If you are worried about the titanium burning your lips as aluminum most certainly will, IMO, titanium will not transmit heat as badly as will aluminum, titanium being very close to steel in that respect. Take reasonable care, wait until the temperature of the tea is somewhere around 130 to 140 degrees and you should do fine. Thats how I prefer my FTGFOP Darjeeling in my Toaks 450ml around the campfire.

Sadly NO - I learned from hard, sad experience that a nice shiny aluminum pan comes out dark gray and black after one wash in the dishwasher. It did not come completely clean using Brillo pads and elbow grease. I have the same problem with all aluminum. I used Great Value dishwasher detergent (powder). Save yourself some heartache and line with aluminum foil if you want an extremely easy clean up. My replacement pans are not that hard to hand wash.

to our knowledge, the titanium is the non-stick substance in the bowl. The inner lid, however, is aluminum.

Hi, here is the blurb from the Scanpan website: "The SCANPAN has exclusive Ceramic Titanium technology. This fry pan is designed and made in Denmark from environmentally friendly, recycled aluminium with a PFOA free non-stick surface"

Matt,Thank you for your email.Hand cast solid aluminum body with FDA-approved food grade powder coating finish. So the food does not touch the aluminum.Have a wonderful day!Michelle

Well...my one is identical to that... mine has 'U.S' on top middle of long pan handle and 'WYOTT' below it. I was told these were Vietnam era issue. That's about all I know about them. Also...heard that cooking with Aluminum was linked with Alzheimer's ...I don't use mine anymore and stick to good old stainless steel NATO Crusader mess tin. Hope this is of some use to you.

No, the cooker is all aluminum. You can use it to cook anything that is safe to cook in aluminum. I, myself, prefer to cook in stainless steel.

Most certainly yes. I anodized a different Ti spork using the cruder flame/heat method and it came out wonderfully. I believe this is a Grade V alloy (6% Aluminum/4% Vanadium), which anodizes very easily.Try it and enjoy! The best thing is if you do not like how it turns out, you can lightly sand/buff it back down to bare metal to try again (or you can over-anodize it which turns it back to almost the same grey color as before you started).

No, certainly not in the short term (had mine 2 years) and I would strongly doubt in the reasonable lifespan of any good quality cookware. For this set, say 20 years? For starters, the non-stick surface would have to wear down before your cooked food even contacted aluminum. Which of course would mean you'd have teflon in your bloodstream first :)

Yes, the pot is titanium as are the heat fins. Because of the titanium if anything is heated other than liquid water (not even snow or soup) the fins will burn up and the warranty is voided.

I have not found any problems cooking with my Iron Clad...I use a lot of alcohol and products like it in my cooking..There is no flavor transfer due to the type of metal and manner of heating..It is the best..Iron pans have a tendency to leach the flavor into the product..I use them, but only for a fast heating or omelets..Wow, they are great and fluff up like in a classic restaurant..
