If your looking for pretty, these fit the bill. If your looking for triply, the whole pan is. If your looking for durable work horse... oops. The info says dishwasher safe, directions say don't... it will ruin the shinny mirror finish. They discolor fairly easy. I've never seen stainless that would like this. The triply for the whole pan is amazing for heat distribution. That feature knocks it out of the park for functional. Just wish the finish was as phenomenal.

I purchased these 2 years ago and they have been awesome. I'm really glad I invested in quality cookware. I love that they heat up all over evenly and I love the stainless steel because I don't have to worry about layers coming off (nonstick). These are easy to clean and keep looking brand new using Bar Keeper's Friend which Sam's also sells fyi.

I just recieved my set, and I am loving them. Very nice weight to them. Love the extra long handles, and you can put it right into the oven, did someone say STEAK, YES I sure did. Follow the instructions and all will turn out great. Please do read the instructions before you use this set of cookware. IT will save you so much time and understanding on how NOT do damage this Stainless set. The shipping was fast, and very well insulated by a box, in a box in another box, then wrapped up really well. Not one damage ding or shattered lid.

Great set of pans

I bought these back in January 2021, so I’ve been using them for years now. I like them very much. It is cooking with stainless steel which can be a learning curve. However, once you can master eggs you’ll be glad to have high quality pans that don’t flake coating off them. These pots and pans are heavy duty and will last for a very long time. When something gets stuck to them I get them wet and sprinkle baking soda on them and scrub. You don’t usually have to scrub hard and they shine afterwards. After all these years they still look great! Glad I bought them!

So the first time I used them I messed up. The second time after talking to a friend our food turned out fantastic. So the second time I preheated the pan and made sure to only add liquids that were heated. I've never cooked on pans that weren't non-stick. But I found that if you are going to add any liquid to the pan or skillet after it's already hot this works better. And then if I need oil or butter for eggs I do it it before I turn the temperature on. My pans never have to be scrubbed now. They are never discolored. I love these so much now that I have thrown out my non stick pans. They heat evenly and I can cook at lower temperatures and food turns out perfectly now that I actually know how to cook with them

I know to season. I knw they conduct well and you do not need high heat, but... why on earth would they score the insides to make everything STICK unless you soak in grease and cleanup is IMPOSSIBLE? They do not clean without soaking, or scrubbing. You may as well go ahead and use a brillo on it even tho it is not recommended. I got rid of a set because the bottoms insides were not smooth. I guess i must do it again. Very maintenence hevy to keep nice. Remember to dry by hand as well. Oil first cold, het pan, add item. Scrub scrub scrubhand dry.

I purchased this set four months ago and was originally very pleased, since then about two months ago I noticed rust spots on the big pot and now the middle pot has them too. I washed them in the dishwasher which should not matter for stainless pots. I would not purchase these again. Viking is usually a good product, but I cannot recommend this set.

We had them for less than a month and after 2 uses they started to get stained. We are very careful with the heat we cook with and to wash them, they are not what we were expecting at all. So hard to maintain and even when we do our best they still get ruined. A big disappointment.

I have owned these for a year now so thought I would write a review. I had always had T-Fal type pans and never thought in a million years I would own stainless steel. I bought an induction stove so I had to purchase new pans and thought I'd give these a try. I am so glad I did because these are great. Cleaning them is a bit different and just need to soak a while if things are stuck to the bottom. I watched lots of videos on how to fry an egg and can do that without sticking. I NEVER use Pam on my pans as I read the manual of some other pans and found that actual wrecks them. I loved them so much I bought the matching set of Viking nonstick skillets. I had also read to clean them with Barkeepers Friend and that is truly the secret to keeping them like new. The only negative I have is I like when I can use lids from the pans on the skillets too but ended up having to buy a universal lid. One of the lids will fit the small skillet. I also had to buy a smaller saucepan. The weight of these pans are very heavy duty and you will not be disappointed. Loved the quality of Viking so much I just ordered the mixing bowls too.
