I saw that ad too. It looks like a gimmick to me, dull blades on one side, germs and bacteria on the other side, just like the ad shows for a traditional wood cutting board. A bamboo cutting surface is germ proof? Did I miss something? They might reduce bacteria they don't eliminate it.
If memory serves, titanium has actually been pretty cheap for about ten years or so now. It's a commodity metal, it's not really "exotic"
Castrol's marketing department doesn't see it that way
Hypoallergenic yes, but who is allergic to wood or plastic cutting boards?
Doesn’t matter. Hypoallergenic sounds good. Nobody is allergic to it. It doesn’t have to work or even be effective. The only thing it has to do is sell. Look at this!
My last two replacement wedding rings have been titanium, they're about $20. To think my 25 year old self spent ~$700 on a platinum ring
Not to hijack the thread, but I just bought an untreated maple board.
Either sunscreen, soap, or white paint.
It is all about increasing the stainless steel economy of scale and help SpaceX rocket cheaper. There is nothing stainless steel does better than Aluminum or Steel truck.
It depends on what the metallurgy is made from and what percentage of it is titanium (which they don't say). My sister worked as a jewler and said it was a bad metal for rings as it's soft. I said tell that to Kelly Johnson and Ben Ritch who saw first hand how hard titanium is and how fast it ruined cutting tools when making panels for the SR-71. I Bet America's test kitchen might have information on it.
The oil is most likely just overpriced mineral oil, which is the widely recommended treatment. I've no idea about the "wax" - no idea why you would want that on your equipment.
