Love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pan is super awesome. I love the handle. It is definitely very heavy but it’s a very durable product and I’m so excited that I got this. I will use it again again.

Disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very disappointed although I had high hopes for this pan. Cooked steaks only once and after that it got rusty. Looked at the original price and I don't think it's worth it at all.

Great to add to the pan lineup
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Alva carbon steel frying pan is a heavy and durable small frying fan (9 inches). It changed colors the first time we used it, which I have heard happens sometimes with these types of pans. My partner reports that it was decently nonstick and was also easy to clean.

Amazing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this. So durable and very well made. Great non stick pan and wash to clean. I love the handle and how it’s hammered so it’s very easy to grip and hold on to. This is a great size to stir fry some veggies!

Sturdy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful pan, very heavy and sturdy. I hadn’t used a carbon steel pan before but it’s good for cooking new food. Definitely have to work on the seasoning layers more but I’m excited to do so
