Good questions, straight answers

Everything you’re wondering

What is this cookware best for?
The generous 7-quart capacity is useful for pasta, soup, stock, seafood and batch cooking when you need room to stir without overcrowding.
Why choose uncoated 5-ply stainless steel?
Its fully clad 5-ply construction distributes heat across the cooking surface for browning and control. There is no synthetic nonstick coating to wear away, and no PFAS, PTFE or PFOA coating is added.
Does it work on induction, and is it oven safe?
Yes. This cookware works on gas, electric and induction cooktops and is oven safe up to 500°F. Check the temperature rating of any accessory used with it.
How do I get great results and clean stainless steel?
Preheat gradually, add oil once the pan is ready and allow proteins to release naturally before turning. Wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly; a stainless steel cleaner can help remove stubborn discoloration.
Can I try it at home, and what warranty applies?
Yes. Eligible Alva cookware comes with a 45-day home trial, so you can actually cook with it before deciding. If it is not right, start a return within 45 days of delivery, subject to the trial terms. This product also comes with a lifetime limited warranty.
