Care & Cleaning

Season Regularly: After the first few uses, build up the nonstick surface by seasoning your pan. Apply a thin layer of oil to a clean pan, then heat it on low until the oil starts to smoke. Let it cool, wipe off any excess, and repeat as needed.
Gentle Cleaning: Avoid harsh soaps or scrubbing pads. After cooking, use warm water and a soft sponge to clean the pan. For tough bits, scrub gently with coarse salt and water, then rinse thoroughly.
Dry & Oil After Each Use: Always dry your pan completely to avoid rust. Once dry, rub a light coat of oil over the surface to maintain the seasoning and protect the pan between uses.

All Your Questions Answered

What are the benefits of using a carbon steel frying pan?

Carbon steel frying pans offer excellent heat conductivity, making them ideal for searing, browning, and frying. They are lightweight, durable, and develop a natural non-stick patina over time with proper seasoning.

How do I season a carbon steel frying pan?

To season your carbon steel frying pan, clean it thoroughly, apply a thin layer of oil, and heat it until the oil smokes. This process creates a protective layer that enhances the pan's non-stick properties and prevents rust.

Why does my carbon steel frying pan have a blue tint?

The blue tint on a carbon steel frying pan is a result of the manufacturing process called "blueing," which provides a layer of protection against rust. This tint will gradually fade as the pan develops its seasoning.

How do I clean and maintain my carbon steel frying pan?

After cooking, clean your carbon steel frying pan with hot water and a soft sponge. Avoid using soap or abrasive materials. Dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rusting.

Is the carbon steel wok pan non-toxic?

Yes, all Alva’s Forest line of products are free of toxic PFOA and PFAS chemicals. Alva products go through rigorous testing to ensure they are safe for consumer use.

What heat sources is the carbon steel wok pan suitable for?

The carbon steel wok pan is suitable for ceramic, electric, gas, and induction heat sources.

Is a carbon steel frying pan better than a cast iron pan?

Both carbon steel and cast iron pans have their advantages. Carbon steel pans are lighter and heat up faster, while cast iron pans retain heat longer. Your choice depends on your cooking preferences and needs.

Where is Alva cookware made?

Alva has a mix of manufacturing centers located in China and Belgium. It is important to note that all production centers adhere to rigorous production standards, regardless of location.

Belgium is the "hub" for business for Alva, and where most of the employees for Alva are located.

In Belgium, engineering and design teams concept products. Then, those blueprints and designs are sent to various production facilities.

While production may take place across the globe, the mind and artistic eye for the products is very much in Belgium.

Is the Forest carbon steel oven safe?

No, our Forest carbon steel pans are not oven safe due to the wood handle. But the Carbon Steel frying pan works on all types of stovetop and grills.
