Didn’t last long
on February 18, 2025
Posted by: Cait
We bought two of these last July. Although one has held up pretty well, the other not so much. It worked great for a few months, but now everything sticks to it despite following proper care, cooking and cleaning instructions. Do NOT recommend.

Not satisfied for the price. A good amount of food still sticks even with oil
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from AlvaBy Alva Cookware Team, August 20, 2024
For ceramic non-stick cookware, some sticking can still occur, particularly with certain foods or if the cookware is not used and cared for properly.
Here are some tips that may help improve the non-stick performance of your ceramic cookware:
Preheat properly: Always preheat the pan over medium heat before adding oil and food. This helps create an even cooking surface and prevents sticking.
Use the right amount of oil: Even with non-stick cookware, a small amount of oil is still needed to help prevent sticking and promote browning.
Avoid high heat: Ceramic non-stick coatings are not designed for high-heat cooking. Stick to medium or low heat to prevent damage to the coating.
Use gentle utensils: Avoid metal utensils, which can scratch and damage the non-stick surface. Opt for silicone, wood, or nylon utensils instead.
Hand-wash gently: Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents, which can also damage the non-stick coating. Hand-wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge.
If you've followed these tips and are still experiencing excessive sticking, please reach out to us at care@alvacookware.com. We want to ensure your satisfaction and are happy to assist you further.
We appreciate your feedback and thank you for choosing our ceramic non-stick cookware.
Sincerely,
The Alva Cookware Team

Love these pans, BUT....

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I cook eggs everyday and with previous pans they would always stick. With this pan nothing sticks. Clean up is so easy.

This pan is exactly what

This pan is exactly what we were looking for to replace another pan that promised to be "all the things" and broke down too soon. It's only been a 1-2 weeks but we're confident it will be long-term keeper. Easy to use, clean, and pretty to boot.

I hesitated to spend the money, and I am more than delighted with my pan. Now I am even cooking better-tasting and healthier meals!
