I love these pans they are so well made and very easy to cook on.. Always see complaints about people saying they stick and things like that, But that's because you have to learn to cook with stainless steel.. I do have many years experience working in a kitchen so that is a slight advantage, It's a skill that has to be learned.. These pans are awesome!

Bought this set for SIL for Christmas. He was a cook at a restaurant in his younger years and is amazing in the kitchen, but alas, only had a basic discount store set of cookware. I saw these in a Sam’s Holiday sale mailing I received at the house. Checked the ratings on the internet and were decent. Need to realize these aren’t to go into the dishwasher or use harsh materials to clean. Use barkeepers friend or Bon Ami cleanser after soaking any crusted on food. The pots are a good weight and if well taken care of will last a lifetime. To prevent being scratched or marked up, I suggest getting wooden utensils and/or hard black utensils. Heat distribution is very good, no hot spots. The completely flat bottoms can be used on the electro-magnetic induction heat source on the new stoves too. Love the curved lip for pouring liquid from pot or pan. Pots have demarcations of measurements on the sides to easily fill without other cups. Glass lids have a small vent release and can easily see what’s going on without removing lid. These pots rival my set of pans I paid twice as much for.

I have some very expensive stainless steel cookware that I bought for my primary home, and I couldn’t afford to purchase the same brand for my second home, so I settled for these. They are just as good as the high end brand and I would have saved lots of money had I come across these first. I absolutely love them! They are top quality and very sturdy.

This set is beautiful. I’ve only had them for a couple weeks so I haven’t used all of them just yet. I’ve never been great at cooking with stainless steel but with the help of YouTube and some research I’ve not had my food stick! Yay! I think it’s a great buy either for yourself or as a gift.

Seemed to have gotten a dud set. There were pans with black on the inner part of the handle, and not cut/polished very smooth, and just look like terrible quality. The very first pan I took out of the box, the small fry pan, had a dent in the outer rim, I should've known then that it wasn't a good set. So far, customer service for Viking has been decent to work with. They are supposed to replace the 2 pans, but they are out of stock and will not be back in stock for months..so we will see how that goes. I debated on returning, but then I would be left with no other pots or pans to cook with, and the set isn't sold in stores. Not sure I would recommend to others. Maybe I will end up loving them..time will tell.

Great set for thr money, it has everything I need for every day cooking. People complaining about things sticking need to adjust to stainless steal, don't cook on high heat and use the right oil. Clean up is a breeze, I don't have to scrub anything they come no problem.

I bought these a month ago after researching for a long time about what to buy. I am so glad that I chose these- they are great heavy weight, heat fast and clean up like a breeze- get some bartenders friend and you will have gleaming pots all the time! I have used the smaller sauce pans over and over and the skillets are great. The bigger pans are pretty massive and it you cook for a crowd-they will be perfect. Love the quality- the glass lids and the heavy bottoms. These are perfect! I am pretty picky and I have been so pleased by their appearance and performance.

When i orded this set it was advertised for $199 my statement says $249

The set was ok, but not as good as my previous set. Started to discolored as soon as I used it. Didn't, expect the top's handles to be hot.

I bought this to replace a set of non stick pans and I couldn't be happier! They are very heavy pans and heat evenly.
