Experience cookware that feels like a chef's pan the moment you pick it up. The Alva Forest 11" Carbon Steel Frying Pan is designed for home cooks tired of pans that warp, lose their coating, or never deliver an even sear. Unlike PTFE-based nonstick, this pan uses naturally seasoned carbon steel to create a release surface that improves with every use — no flaking, no toxic chemicals, just better cooking every time. Whether you're cooking eggs at 7am or searing steak at dinner, our pan heats fast and evenly, adapts to gas, induction, electric and griddle cooktops, and seals in flavor like professional cookware. The ergonomic acacia wood handle gives you control meal after meal without fatigue. It's riveted and balanced so flipping, stirring and sliding food is effortless. And because carbon steel lasts decades, this isn't just a pan — it's an heirloom piece you'll use for years.

  • Product Features

    • REAL NATURAL NONSTICK YOU CAN TRUST – Premium carbon steel builds a naturally seasoned surface that improves with use — no PTFE, no PFOA, no PFAS, no chemicals that flake or off-gas. Cooks like cast iron but with lighter feel and easier control.
    • EASY CLEANUP + LIFETIME VALUE – Rinse and wipe after cooking — no soap stripping seasoning. Dishwasher safe when needed but hand washing extends seasoning life. Backed with our satisfaction guarantee — if it's not perfect, we make it right.
    • BUILDS SEASONING EVERY TIME YOU COOK – Our hand-finished carbon steel forms a slick seasoning layer over time (like pro cookware), giving effortless release for eggs, fish, stir-fry and more. Gets better with every use.
    • UNIVERSAL HEAT + WOW HEAT-UP SPEED – Thick carbon steel clamps and distributes heat quickly on induction, gas, electric, halogen or flat top griddles. Browns and sears like a restaurant pan — no hotspots.
    • COMFORT + CONTROL YOU CAN FEEL – Ergonomic acacia wood handle stays cool longer and gives a balanced grip for flips, scrambles, sauces and pans-to-oven work up to 400°F. Riveted for durability — built to last decades.

Take a look

I’m honestly very disappointed with this casserole. Every time I use it, it keeps rusting, which clearly shows very poor quality. I’m not sure if mine came defective or if the brand has manufacturing issues, but the truth is that it’s not good. I also don’t believe the rust it releases while cooking is safe, as it could potentially be harmful. The size is great, and the design is actually very nice, which makes this even more disappointing. I truly thought it would become my favorite, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my expectations at all.

Hi [Customer Name], First, thank you for taking the time to share this — and I’m genuinely sorry to hear about your experience. That’s absolutely not the performance we want anyone to have with their Alva casserole. Rusting is not expected with normal use when the cookware is properly dried and cared for. In some cases, what appears to be rust can happen if moisture remains on the surface after washing, or if the seasoning layer has been compromised. That said, it should never feel like something you’re constantly battling — and we definitely want to take this seriously. To address your concerns directly: Safety: Surface rust on cookware is not considered harmful, but we completely understand why it would be concerning and frustrating — especially while cooking. Quality: This is not reflective of the standards we design and test to. If your piece is defective, we want to make it right. Expectation: We design our cookware to last for years, and we hate hearing that this didn’t become the favorite you hoped it would be. Could you please reach out to our care team at care@alvacookware.com for more help.

Nice little pan

This skillet was easy to use with a good nonstick surface. The skillet is a good size for eggs, grilled cheese, etc. it is handwashing only, which is not very convenient.

Stylish carbon steel pan

The design of this pan is definitely stylish. I like that you can have style without losing functionality. That is a great design. It is quite smooth and has great quality. Perfect for seasoned steaks. Maintenance is same as the steel pan.

Hand wash only

This is a non stick pan, worked really well while cooking. The package says hand wash, and I still ended up with water rust spots. Make sure you dry all the way before storing it!

Pretty & Light Weight But a Total Heat Diva

This skillet is a bit of a mixed bag in the most charming way. It’s wonderfully lightweight, surprisingly non-stick, and the wood handle feels so comfortable in the hand — like it was actually designed by someone who cooks. But here’s the catch: this pan is temperamental. You basically have to treat it like a delicate little diva on the stove. If the heat isn’t set to very low, it will scorch your food in seconds. Even on just medium low heat, my grilled cheese got a little more toasty than I prefer. The flip side to that, though, is the heat distribution was even, so at least it burned evenly. Once you adjust to its overly sensitive personality, it can turn out some great results — but there’s definitely a learning curve. Perfect if you want something light and stylish… just be ready to cook low and slow.

Great quality

Great size and heavy duty weight. Has a great frying capacity. Gave a great sear to my breakfast sausage. It’s amazing pan and wish I would have purchased this before. Storages great as well.

Fabulous pan!

This pan is amazing! I was so excited about this claim. I’ve used to multiple times since I received it, making anything from eggs, pancakes, chicken, grilled cheese, etc. Nothing sticks and the cleanup is so easy!

Okay. This pan is amazing. I love the look of it. The wood handle. It’s beautiful. It’s so easy to clean. It was quick to heat up and cooked my eggs flawlessly and nothing stuck to it whatsoever. Needless to say it’s my new favorite pan
