Best ceramic pan I've ever used. Treat it right with silicone utensils and it will last. Was a little surprised how heavy it was, but that to me shows the quality of the pan.....solid!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this pan for a few months now. It heats up evenly and food sticks less to it than my other stainless steel pans so I prefer to use it over those. The picture is after four rounds of smaller pancakes made in the pan with only one application of olive oil, whereas my other pans I had to keep adding oil or butter or it’s definitely going to stick. The handle is attached only on the outside and after having this option, I don’t know why all pans don’t do this. My other pans ALWAYS have food stuck around the rivets , this one doesn’t have that and it’s amazing.

I was really excited to discover the Alva brand. I have been a user of other purportedly nontoxic cookware for many years. I do believe that Alva is as close as you can get to the most nontoxic nonstick cookware available. The performance thus far has been stellar. My one MAJOR issue is that the coating on the outside of the pans is extremely fragile. I have absolutely babied these pans over the few weeks that I have had them (I bought 3). The coating is chipped and scratched already and even just from gently scrubbing a trail of dripped food from the side. I use only nonabrasive materials. This is really not good, considering how much these pans cost. I don't know if this is unusual, or if the coatings on the outside are4 really that fragile.

Nicely made. Heats evenly. Downside for me is that it the edge doesn’t allow for good tossing of contents. Otherwise it would be perfect.

Its got your big pasta jobs! Wow! Amazing! I cant wait to make my vegetable soup in it!
