Not just 5 layers. A real copper core

It’s the lowest price the Viretta 5-Ply Copper Series will ever be. Your founding price is up to 40% off the future retail price — and lower than the public Kickstarter price. Sign up now so you don’t miss the launch on 15 August, and reserve your spot for a fully refundable €1 that’s credited to your final pledge.

Every pan is built from five bonded layers — stainless steel, aluminium, a 0.5mm pure copper core, aluminium, and a magnetic steel base — 2.9mm thick in total. Copper is the fastest, most even heat conductor in any kitchen, so the whole surface heats at once: no hot spots, no cold edges. The copper is fully sealed inside the wall, so you get its performance with none of the polishing traditional copper pans demand.

Both share the same 5-ply copper construction and differ only in the cooking surface. Stainless steel has a raw stainless steel (SS304) interior — the professional choice for an aggressive sear and rich fond, and unbeatable for browning meat. Titanium Plasma has a coating-free titanium surface, three times harder than steel, that releases food cleanly with a little oil — easier for eggs, fish and everyday cooking. Many backers choose one of each.

It depends on the surface. The Stainless steel pans are not non-stick — they have a raw stainless searing surface, so you use a little oil and proper preheating (the professional way to cook). The Titanium Plasma pans are naturally low-friction: with a little oil, food releases cleanly. Neither uses any chemical non-stick coating.

The release comes from physics, not chemistry. The titanium plasma surface has a microscopic texture that, together with a little oil, forms a thin film between your food and the pan. Because the effect is mechanical and not a chemical coating, it never wears off — it lasts the lifetime of the pan.

No. No PFAS, no PFOA, no PTFE, and no chemical coatings of any kind — so nothing can flake off and end up in your food. All our food-contact products pass the strict German LFGB safety standard.

Yes, on both surfaces. There’s no soft coating to scratch or damage — the cooking surface is solid metal — so metal utensils are completely fine.

All hobs — gas, induction, electric and ceramic — thanks to the magnetic stainless steel base. The pans are oven-safe up to 320°C.

Stainless steel: 16cm saucepan, 20cm saucepan, 24cm pot, 26cm frying pan, 28cm sauté pan and 30cm frying pan. Titanium Plasma: 26cm frying pan, 28cm sauté pan and 30cm frying pan. You can choose single pieces or bundles.

The Stainless steel series (Wave 1) ships in December 2026. The Titanium Plasma series (Wave 2) ships in March 2027.

The cooking surfaces are easy to clean and very durable. On every pan the copper core is sealed at the rim, where it forms a thin visible line that can develop a warm patina over time. The stainless body is dishwasher-safe, but we recommend hand-washing to keep the copper edge bright — a quick wipe restores the shine.

We recommend a little oil or fat on both surfaces — it’s needed for the best release on the Titanium Plasma pans, and for the best sear on the Stainless steel pans. A small amount is all it takes.

Viretta’s 5-ply pans are substantial but balanced, and the hollow stainless handle keeps the weight comfortable.

We do! We offer a lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects on all of our products.

Kickstarter is a platform where new products are brought to life by their first supporters (“backers”). By launching there we ship directly from our production to you — no middlemen, no retail markup — which is how we can offer the founding price. You pledge when we launch on 15 August, and your card is only charged if the campaign reaches its goal. If it doesn’t, no one is charged, and your €1 reservation is fully refundable either way.

After all Kickstarter rewards are fulfilled, the collection will be available through viretta.dk and our stores — at the full retail price. The founding price is only available during the Kickstarter campaign.
