As a result this particular coating needs less curing time which saves on the heat.

I think they re a great advance over earlier nonstick pans and bakeware and are safer because they re made without perfluorooctanoic acid known as pfoa the potentially toxic chemical used in the manufacture of coatings for nonstick pans such as teflon. The best step to fight against any safety concerns especially in this ceramic titanium cookware is to cook food on lower flame as lower heat flame would not allow the teflon coating to be converted in to poisonous gas and would not even impact the ceramic coating on it. Cast iron cookware is very durable but iron is constantly leaching into the food changing the enzymes in it.
