Our Stratanium® universe
Nonstick without compromise
Dedication and a love of good food are what drive us and are among the reasons SCANPAN has led the development and production of nonstick coatings for generations.
Since 1956, when we introduced our first nonstick frying pan, our development and production teams in Ryomgård have stayed one step ahead in the search for the best and most innovative solutions.
Always to meet the demands and expectations of the time for cooking performance, durability, longevity and – not least – environmental considerations.
When we introduced Stratanium® coatings in 2020, we pushed the boundaries of nonstick performance.
Stratanium® was developed through a pioneering collaboration between leading Danish and international chefs and our team of material and process specialists. This collaboration continues to help develop Stratanium® as one of the world’s leading nonstick coatings.
For the love of good food
From the outset, our aim has been to create a nonstick coating that gives even the most critical chefs complete freedom and optimal conditions for frying, braising, searing and simmering, without compromising quality, durability or environmental considerations.
Our promise of nonstick without compromise therefore goes hand in hand with our love of cooking and our constant efforts to inspire everyone to create small culinary wonders at home.
The surface structure of our Stratanium® coatings is continually tested and approved by professional chefs, so everyone can achieve the best cooking results with SCANPAN frying pans.

Our three unique Stratanium® coatings
Stratanium® Leap
With the new Stratanium® LEAP coating, we are taking another quantum leap that will define the nonstick coatings of the future.
Our development team has succeeded in creating a Stratanium® coating that meets SCANPAN’s renowned, uncompromising standards for food release and durability, while also removing the fluorinated substance PFAS from the coating.
Stratanium®
With the introduction of our Stratanium® coating, SCANPAN once again pushed the boundaries of what a nonstick surface can do. We developed a coating that combines outstanding food release, durability and exceptional cooking performance.
Stratanium®+
With the Stratanium®+ nonstick coating, you get all the excellent properties of Stratanium – plus even more.
Chefs and food enthusiasts demand something extra. They hand-pick the best of everything that contributes to the final result on the plate – not least their cookware. Stratanium®+ was developed for them.
Three unique coatings
The right choice for you
We give you the freedom to choose
The conclusion is clear: Whichever Stratanium® coating you choose, you get nonstick in a class of its own:
- Cleaning is easy.
- The food release allows you to fry without fat.
- You can use most types of utensils (but not metal on the Leap coating).
Each Stratanium® coating also has its own character and special qualities. Stratanium® is therefore for anyone who loves cooking and wants to refine their techniques and the result on the plate.
Small details and unique properties distinguish Stratanium®, Stratanium® LEAP and Stratanium®+.
All Stratanium® coatings work on gas, induction, traditional and ceramic hobs, with or without fat. You can fry, boil, simmer and stir-fry.
The question is: Which Stratanium® coating will become your favourite?
Why use PFAS in Stratanium® and Stratanium®+ when we have Stratanium® LEAP?
First, all SCANPAN nonstick coatings naturally comply with current environmental and health requirements.
PFAS is under scrutiny because fluorinated substances break down very slowly in nature and can harm people and animals.
In Stratanium® and Stratanium®+, PFAS is bound into the specially cured coating, so under normal use there is no risk of PFAS being released into food or the surrounding environment.
The crystalline PFAS particles form part of the ultra-thin layers that create exceptional hardness and durability. Previously, no one had succeeded in producing a nonstick coating with a guaranteed lifetime and satisfactory food release without PFAS.
For SCANPAN, long service life is an important part of our continuous effort to improve the climate footprint of our frying pans. Producing and guaranteeing nonstick pans with a minimum lifetime of five years contributes to a better life cycle assessment and therefore lower environmental impact and resource consumption.
Despite extensive testing and analysis, we cannot yet guarantee the same lifetime for Stratanium® LEAP as for Stratanium® and Stratanium®+. However, developing LEAP shows that we are moving closer to the day when all our nonstick coatings are produced without PFAS.

FAQ
Yes, and here’s why. Scanpan's nonstick products contain PTFE which is included in the large group of PFAS substances. In cookware, these substances lend durability and superior nonstick properties and are completely bound in the hardened coating, so they will not transfer to food or the environment during use.
Our STRATANIUM® nonstick is the most sustainable choice because it is more durable and longer lasting than non-PTFE based nonstick options.
No. Normal signs of use and surface marks do not make your cookware unsafe. However, if the coating is worn through so that the underlying material is visible on the cooking surface, we recommend replacing the product.
SCANPAN’s nonstick coating acts as a protective barrier between the aluminium and food. When the coating is intact, the product is safe to use.
There is a difference between cosmetic marks and an actual breach of the coating. If the coating is breached, performance is no longer optimal and we recommend replacement – not because there is an acute risk, but because you no longer get the performance and protection the product was designed to provide.
With new cookware, you regain the full nonstick effect and the quality we stand behind.
Long before you reach a temperature high enough to damage the surface, your food will start to burn. You cannot overheat your frying pan during normal cooking. Always start preheating your pan on medium heat for best cooking results.
