They are no doubt quality pieces of cook wear! They do conduct heat well and distributes it well, they are well polished inside and are conducive to not sticking and burning. Although they are not non stick so be ready for a learning curve in using a non Teflon coating. They are great for everything up to cooking and egg, you would have to fry it. Sauté and sweats well, searing can be a sticky mess unless you use a good amount of fat. Great set no doubt will last a life time!

These are amazing in quality. The quality was evident immediately upon opening the carton. They are well built, beautiful, and should outlive me in usefulness. I've used each piece in the set and found them to provide even heat distribution throughout. I find, myself spending less time stirring and moving the food around in the pots and skillets. They are just easy to cook with. Handles are comfortable and stay cool when used on the cooktop. I use the mercury ball water test when using stainless steel cookware, so I seldom have anything stick to this type of cookware, I would recommend this set to anyone. They clean up well and have had no problem with warping.

Love the set. There were two imperfections on the glass lids but the warranty is taking care of it now. Please understand that there is experience/education needed in order not to ruin such professional cookware. Use bar tenders friend to maintain this cookware and remember it retains and absorbs heat easily therefore overheating is common if not familiar with such wares. Things I have noticed since using this set every day for the past two weeks: Cleans well and quikly. (Dont air dry. Use towel) Heats quikly and evenly. (Easy to overheat if unfamiliar) Retains beautiful look. (Use bar tenders friend or equivalent) Loving this product. Great price as well!

WHY did I wait so long to buy this????? I've used this set for several weeks cooking all sorts of dishes and I just LOVE this cookware! I would agree with the MFG that a 'must have' to go with this set is the Bar Keepers Friend. This cookware cleans up like a breeze.

This Viking cookware set is hands down the best cookware I've owned. The value, quality, and construction is great. I’ve only had my set for a little over a week, but I’ve cooked quite a few things already - veggies, eggs, pasta, etc… Having a really nice cookware set has really motivated me to cook more at home. This 13 piece set is versatile and covers pretty much everything that I cook. I’ve used the large sauté pan the most, which is great for stir-fry. I also love how the pots have internal volume markings, which makes it super easy to eyeball measurements. The cookware is heavy for its size, but very solid and well constructed. Great even heat distribution, even with my electric coil stovetop. The handles are shaped well and feel nice and very secure. I was concerned about using stainless-steel vs non-stick. I’m used to non-stick cookware. In the past, when I’ve used stainless-steel, it’s been a cleaning nightmare. I am realizing now that I never used stainless-steel properly. I followed the directions included in the set. The key is to heat your cookware on low for a couple of minutes before you actually start cooking. Works like a charm! What a difference having a quality set makes! This set is really beautiful and makes me feel like a professional cook at home. I've already given away my hodge podge collection of pots and pans that I've collected over the years. I highly recommend this set if you’re looking for cookware.

I've only used for a few weeks. I read online to season with vegetable oil and first time I made pancakes the oil coagulated and turned gummy and dark on areas of pan where food wasn't in direct contact. Food tends to stick and frying bacon causes spots inside. I use a soft wire scrubby to clean after using or hot water boil. Cooks evenly and you don't want to use more than medium heat as it conducts heat very well. Would recommend with advisement

Well, I wanted to give Viking 5 stars. With one glaring exception, I love this set. I received my 13 piece set on 12/9/22. On unboxing, it is a beautiful and well made set. I washed the set as instructed and seasoned the fry pans. Then my problem began. I was pre-heating the 5.2 qt sauté pan on medium heat. It warped almost immediately. Not a lot but enough. I called the CS number and was told to send and email. On 12/12, I sent the email with all instructed information. I got a quick response that I would hear back within 24 hours. I followed up on 12/15, 12/20 and 12/26. Finally on 1/3/23 I called the CS number again. I was advised that them had my claim and that they were behind and that they would get back with me asap. Again, I am pleased with this product with the exception of the 5.2 qt sauté pan. Their customer service has been poor. I will update, if and when I ever hear back.

Bought this when it was on sale. Upgrading my cookware from hard anodized to stainless steel. I've used two of the pots and the 10" skillet, as well as the stock pot with strainer, all with excellent results. It does require paying more attention to detail to avoid sticking, but its definitely worth it. I recommend this product.

I've been looking for Viking cookware ever since my kitchen remodel included a Viking appliance suite - this cookware is beautiful and so high quality!! I gave away every other pot I had!! Sam's website is super easy - free shipping is a definite plus!!

So happy that I bought this cookware set. Very durable, cooks evenly and easy to clean. Hesitated to make this online purchase since I wanted to actually see it in the store but so happy I took a chance. Should have bought it sooner instead of wasting time looking around at department stores.
