> No worries on being oven safe as its melting temp is 3,000°F.

Two things:

- Your bowl is most likely not pure titanium and is probably made of an alloy.

- Over 1,200F titanium produces titanium dioxide and may give you titanium dioxide poisoning.

It's grade 1 unalloyed titanium from Snow Peak: https://www.snowpeak.com/blogs/explore/ultralight-everything with the lowest oxygen content. Your hazard warnings are noted though, and I definitely will keep it at lower temps.

I've also got their titanium flask. I had it engraved from a random guy on youtube who had experience engraving on Ti, because everyone else I contacted (mostly jewelry shops) could only anodize it.

My oven only goes to 500F. Some go to 550F. Even Ooni's are 1000F at most.

What does yours do?

[simlevesque]

Well most oven won't burn any of your cookware no matter the material.

I just wanted to emphasize that there are danger below 3,000F.

I'll bear that in mind the next time I decide to make lasagne in a crucible

Except PTFE coatings, which releases toxic gases above ~260°C/500°F

except this post was originally about titanium.

I'm pretty sure titanium dioxide is pretty inert. It's a primary ingredient in sunscreen and diaper cream.

Otherwise, I agree with your point.

Outside the body is one thing. The EU banned it as a food additive last year and some US states are considering it too. TiO2 has genotoxic traits, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8323234/

I always found it odd that my acrylic paint and my toothpaste share this ingredient.

[twright0]

Dihydrogen monoxide too!

[flangola7]

Water isn't genotoxic. Titanium is. It's fair to be concerned about chemicals when the chemicals cause objective harm.

[maybecorrect]

Correcting myself, I was thinking of Zinc Oxide. But it's still pretty inert. I wouldn't want a plate of it, but whatever level of toxicity it possesses, it is low enough that it requires careful study to detect.

If there was a way to bend this particular exchange into the style of the article, I would. Its definitely in the same spirit.

This sounds like a job ChatGPT would excel at :) I will leave actually doing so as an exercise for the reader.
