Ember Unveils SuperPan – A New Category of Uncoated, Non‑Stick Titanium Steel Cookware

Ember Cookware, India’s premium kitchenware brand and pioneer of the non‑toxic cookware movement, issued a press release on 9 September 2026 announcing the launch of SuperPan, its third proprietary material innovation. SuperPan introduces a new material called TitaniumSteel, created through Ember’s patent‑pending NanoFusion technology, which permanently fuses titanium with stainless steel via a high‑temperature plasma fusion process. The resulting 5‑ply stainless‑steel pan offers a naturally non‑stick cooking surface that requires no PTFE, PFAS, or any synthetic coating, while retaining the durability, high‑heat performance, and metal‑utensil friendliness traditionally associated with stainless steel and cast iron.

The product development was driven by Ember’s global R&D ecosystem, anchored by a California R&D centre led by industrial designer Bret Recor and the Ember Innovation Lab in India, overseen by Chef Saransh Goila. This is the second innovation to emerge from the Indian lab, which was established in 2025. Prior to launch, Ember conducted qualitative research across more than 120 Indian households to understand daily cookware usage. The research highlighted that while stainless steel and cast iron are present in nearly every kitchen, consumers increasingly prefer ceramic and other non‑stick alternatives for their ease of food release, lower oil usage, and cleaning convenience. The study identified a market gap for a stainless‑steel product that combines high‑heat capability, durability, and effortless release without synthetic coatings.

Key product attributes include:

  • TitaniumSteel material engineered for naturally non‑stick cooking.
  • NanoFusion technology that integrates titanium at a microscopic level, creating a textured surface that holds a thin film of oil, eliminating the need for a coating.
  • 5‑ply construction delivering even heat distribution from base to rim.
  • Zero coating – no PTFE, PFAS, or synthetic non‑stick layer that can peel or wear away.
  • High‑heat compatibility and suitability for metal utensils, including metal whisks.

Leadership comments: Founder & CEO Siddharth Gadodia emphasized Ember’s material‑first philosophy, stating that the company seeks to eliminate the compromises of traditional stainless steel by re‑engineering it for Indian kitchens. Co‑founder & CMO Himanshi Tandon noted that consumers love stainless steel for its durability and high‑heat cooking but desire the low‑oil, quick‑release experience of ceramic non‑stick pans. Chef Saransh Goila, Chief Culinary & Innovation Officer, described the pan as offering “the aggressive, high‑heat searing capability of a heavy cast‑iron skillet combined with the effortless release of a brand‑new non‑stick surface,” and highlighted its ability to withstand metal whisk usage.

Stainless steel currently accounts for approximately 32 % of India’s cookware market, yet its everyday usability has remained largely unchanged. Ember positions SuperPan as the next chapter after its earlier innovations – Arcilla ceramic and TitaniumClad cast iron – aiming to capture consumers seeking cleaner, high‑performance cookware.

Availability: SuperPan is available for purchase on embercookware.com and through leading retail partners, including Amazon, Food Square, Food Stories, Epic, Origin, and select premium cookware and home retail stores across India.

Company background: Ember Cookware was founded in 2024 as India’s first 100 % non‑toxic, non‑stick kitchenware brand. The company operates under a strategic partnership with world‑leading product design firm Box Clever, via its venture arm Box Garden Ventures based in California, combining global design excellence with deep insight into Indian cooking habits.
