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.

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!

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.

Bought this set for my daughter in law for Christmas and asked her for a review. She is in the culinary industry and used to cooking with top of the line equipment. She said the performance of this set exceeded her expectations and she loves them. She says the performance and quality are about the same as a set twice the price! I bought this set for $189.99 (Holiday special)

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.

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

Heavy and sturdy. Love the way they handle and the look but not entirely happy with cleaning them up. SOS pads clean them some but there still leaves some marks on bottom of pan - going to try barkeepers friend next. Using them with induction and part of one seems to cook hotter on the bottom leaving me to believe there is some warp and they aren’t flat. Better than my last set but not 100% sold on these yet.

I LOVE my cookware soooo much! It is everything I hoped for. I love the three ply for the even cooking surface. But I think the feature I appreciate the most is how beautifully it cleans up. I soak them for a few minutes, use sponge with green scouring pad on back and they still look brand new!!! The steam vent and measuring lines on inside of pans are also helpful. I love this depth of the large frying pan.

The 8qt pot is smaller than I expected. The measurements inside the pot reads 6.5 liters and that does not equal 8qts. I am happy with everything else.

Purchased three months ago, after constant use the balance of heat distribution, ease of use and ease of cleaning show what a great set this is - would have expected to pay much more for such quality.
