Maestro Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nonstick pan has transformed my cooking routine! It’s incredibly easy to clean—eggs slid right off without any oil or butter. I even tried making pancakes, which usually stick, and I was amazed at how easily they released from the pan. I wasn't expecting it to be this effortless! I received the product through Influenster, so I’m not sure about the price, but I highly recommend this pan!

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.

So Far So Good! They were very well packaged, they wash up very easily. They are not immune to the poached eggs leaving that film on the bottom, but other than that, they cook other things beautifully. I have only had them for 2 weeks, so we shall see how they hold up over time, but so far so good!
