Good questions, straight answers
Everything you’re wondering
What is this cookware best for?
Braise or simmer in the 2.5-quart cast iron pot, or use its steamer baskets for vegetables and other foods that benefit from gentle steam.
Does enameled cast iron need seasoning?
No. The enamel creates a cooking surface that does not need the seasoning routine of bare cast iron. The heavy cast iron body retains heat steadily for cooking and serving, and Alva cookware is made without PFAS, PTFE or PFOA.
Does it work on induction, and is it oven safe?
Yes. Nori enameled cast iron is compatible with gas, electric and induction cooktops, and the cookware is oven safe up to 500°F. Follow the lowest temperature rating of any accessory.
How do I care for the enamel finish?
Heat gradually, let the cookware cool before washing, and hand-wash with a non-abrasive sponge. Dry thoroughly and avoid sharp impacts or metal scouring pads to help protect the enamel.
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.
Thoughtful cookware, designed in Belgium since 1949.
