Know before you buy
The Alva Maestro features wide, straight sides that provide 20% more cooking surface area than a traditional skillet. This design is specifically optimized for larger family meals, sauces, and searing proteins without overcrowding the pan.
Yes, the pan is oven-safe up to 400°F. The reinforced ceramic surface is free from PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, lead, and cadmium, making it a safe choice for daily high-heat stovetop and oven cooking.
The pan is built with a warp-resistant aluminum core designed for durability. To maintain its shape and performance, we recommend allowing the pan to cool down naturally before rinsing it with water, rather than plunging a hot pan into cold water.
The ceramic surface is designed for easy food release and simple cleanup. We recommend hand-washing with a soft sponge and mild dish soap to preserve the integrity of the nonstick coating over time.
While the ceramic coating is reinforced for scratch resistance, we recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon utensils. Avoiding metal tools will help extend the lifespan of the nonstick surface and keep it performing like new.
