Made for better cooking

Even heat. Easy release.

Fried egg with scallions in an Alva Maestro 5-ply ceramic nonstick frying pan on an induction range, eggs in a bowl beside it

Five bonded metal layers spread heat through the pan. Ceramic nonstick helps eggs and fish release with a little oil.

What makes it five-ply?

The higher price reflects five bonded stainless-steel and aluminum layers beneath the ceramic surface, designed to spread heat through the base and sides. Standard Maestro ceramic uses forged aluminum. Five-ply construction does not mean the ceramic coating lasts longer.

Good questions, straight answers

Everything you’re wondering

What is this cookware best for?
Combines the even heating of fully clad 5-ply stainless steel with a ceramic nonstick cooking surface for eggs, fish and everyday frying.
How is this ceramic nonstick different from traditional nonstick?
It pairs fully clad 5-ply stainless steel with a ceramic nonstick cooking surface made without PFAS, PTFE or PFOA. You get even heating plus easier food release for delicate recipes.
Will it work on induction, and can it go in the oven?
Yes. It works on gas, electric and induction cooktops and is oven safe up to 400°F. For a set, always follow the lowest temperature limit of the pieces and accessories used together.
Will the ceramic wear out like other nonstick I've owned?
Every nonstick surface, ceramic included, loses some release over time. What you control is how fast. Two things wear a ceramic coating out early: high heat and dishwasher detergent. Cook on low to medium, hand wash with a soft sponge and use wood or silicone utensils. These habits help preserve the coating's food release. Performance varies with use and care. If you would rather have a cooking surface with nothing to wear off at all, Maestro 5-ply stainless steel is the one to choose.
