Can or should you season titanium cookware?

+0
−0

I have a set of titanium cookware that I use for backpacking. It's a small set for one to two people and consists of two little pots and one cover/frying pan. Mostly, this set gets used for boiling water, but I do occasionally actually cook in it.

Is there any (good) reason to try to season this set (maybe just the frying pan?) like I do for my cast iron cookware?

Would the seasoning take to the surfaces? Would it have any non-stick properties?

---Edit--- Here's a link to a similar cookware set by the same company as mine. This new model (mine is 10+ years old) doesn't show the lid as useable as a frying pan, but mine has a lid that looks very much like the one in this model.

Seasoning is done for two reasons,

  1. To prevent rust/corrosion.
  2. To prevent sticking.

While titanium can rust, in the process it creates a layer of titanium oxide which creates a protective layer that protects the inside from further corrosion and the non-sticking versions have a coating but are not seasonsed.

Given that it doesn't need to be seasoned there I don't see why one would and given the description of the process, I am not sure it would work either.
