NG: is this a new fad or are these pans really superior to teflon covered
pans? The marketing bubble raves about long-lasting covering and superior

Anyone?
Here's an exemple, these have 5 layers one of which is titanium and the top
layer is gold (or a golden alloy):

A good cook (not me) can cook with any type of pan. This looks cute
but present pans cook adequately. Also, I can't say I care for
Bakelite handles (assuming google translation is correct).

I don't have many non-stick pans but unless the goverment knocks on my
door and demands I give them up, I'm not replacing the ones I *do* have.
They've been working just fine for years.

Haven't heard of that one, but if they intend to break into the
American market - they'll be coming soon to some home shopping
network.

If that color combination turns you on, it has been available for at
least 6 months, maybe a year. It's done with something new in
colorization for enamels or non-stick or some such. Pans are
available in rainbows of colors inside and out -- not painted, bonded.
As for this particular surface material, I hope the American public is
smart enough not to fall for it. Anyone who "needs" it shouldn't be
cooking -- skill is more important.

The top layer is probably titanium nitride, not gold (gold would be stupid)

Sounds like something new brides might be jonesing. Keurig, move over.

At least in theory, gold should have good
non-stick properties. I used to work at
a company where we were trying to get
silicone to stick to gold. That's nearly
the worst combination of two things you
want to stick together. (Teflon to gold
would probably be the absolute worst.)

No, a N-pole and N-pole (or S-pole and S-pole) magnetic anything is
the worst thing to try to get to stick together! ;-)
