Alva Maestro 11" Healthy Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan - Easy-to-Clean Recyled Aluminum - Superior Heat Distribution - All Stovetop & Oven & Induction Safe - Zero PFAS/PFOA/PTFE

Very well made, great size for all purpose cooking, and the non-stick is brilliant. I am taking care to not overheat the pan as instructed, and to let it cool down before rinsing under water. It sears well, even on medium heat. One month on, it still looks brand new.

Like some other reviews, this pan initially was non stick when I bought it in May 2024, but by autumn 2024 the non stick coating had failed despite careful washing and maintenance. There are no scratches in the coating - it just no longer works, even when I add a lot of oil. Alva US were not able to help because they don’t ship to the UK directly. Got a very expensive pan which now doesn’t work, not happy.

I bought this pan on February 2024 and despite my greatest care, only hand washing it and always using it on low fire, the non-stick material started to dysfunction and to stick. There were a few other comments from other customers saying the same thing so I contacted Alva who acknowledged the problem and were willing to send me a replacement pan. Unfortunately, they don't ship in the UK and their warranty is therefore not applicable there. I recommend therefore not to purchase this item if you're not in an area supported by Alva.
