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.
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.
I purchased the 8” and 11” ceramic nonstick pans. They are good so far but I do find eggs stick to the pans. I put a little oil (as suggested) and a few times I put more oil but the eggs still stick. I havent cooked any meat in them yet. Just eggs and pancakes…
Great non-toxic, non-stick to have in your kitchen

The reason I purchased this pan was, I was looking for a non-toxic, non-stick pan. Alva had what I wanted. So far the pan is wonderful. I would recommend this pan.
