Hate to break it to you, but scanpan pans are coated with PTFE. (Which
is Teflon not made by dupont, who own the Teflon trademark.) Their
supposedly super-duper titanium finish is a substrate to the
(perfectly ordinary) non-stick surface. The PTFE is supposed to
adhere better to that substrate. That's why they claim you can use a
metal utensil on them. If you over-heat the PTFE will break down.
