I haven’t actually used this pan yet, but it definitely seems high quality. It seems super sturdy and well-made. It also has a really nice weight to it, and I love the wood handle. I can’t wait to try it out!

I like this Alva all natural non-stick frying pan. The description does say it heats up fast. It heats up really fast! The first time I used it I burned the grill cheese sandwiches. As you can see in the pictures I scorched the pan! That is just cosmetic, the pan is durable. The second time I grilled cheese sandwiches they turned out delicious. They were so crispy! Because of the high temperature it gets I seared salmon to perfection! I do recommend this frying pan.

This is a beautiful pan. I’ve never owned any carbon steel pans and this one is perfect. The weight is nice and the handle is a natural hardwood. This will become my new fish cooking pan. I usually use cast iron but it absorbs some fish flavor unless you clean it really well. Carbon steel won’t hold any flavor and gets a nice high even heat. It also gets better with age. This will be a heavy worker for me.

This pan is exceptional. Love that its nonstick, but it is a bit heavier than your ordinary pans, which I like. Sides come up more than on regular frying pans, which is nice as less splatter. A lower cooking temperature is needed as the pan heats up quickly. Food comes out wonderful, not burning, and no sticking. The wooden handle is very sturdy, not flimsy, water floats right off of it for cleaning.

I like the pan. But definitely you need to season it again before to star to cook with it. Because after using it a few times it started to have a brown color and I haven’t cleaned it with soap at all.
