Two must-knows for copper cookware. First, it WILL discolor when used, or even if you just hang it up for looks. Like silver, copper discolors, and polishing restores the bright shine. Secondly, copper is an amazing conductor of heat. You don't need the high heat you used with your steel pans. Turn it down. If I usually saute a dish on medium high, I'm getting the same heat now on medium low! Less fuel used, more energy efficient. Third thing, I guess, is no nonstick coating. I like avoiding the questionable chemicals in nonstick. Sticking isn't an issue if you gently preheat and add your choice of fat. If you're a dedicated low or no fat cook, rethink the purchase. All that said, I love these pans. Superb quality! Equal to All-Clad's copper and stainless, and I've been an All-Clad user for decades. I cook a LOT. Two to three meals every day. I don't have time to fuss with stuff. I need it to work right, clean easily, and be trouble-free. I'm glad I got these. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. Very impressed.

Viking is a long time name in professional cookware. Extremely well made, life time product. The only place I could find it with a copper exterior was at Sam's, my wife loves quality copper kitchen ware. This less than half what Viking pots and pans go for.

This is absolutely the nicest set of cookware I have ever purchased. Everyone who has seen them have commented on how spectacular they look. They are very well constructed, easy to clean, and retain heat while cooking. Extra care needs to be applied to keep the copper finish looking nice and polished. They are the perfect pairing to my Viking range.

Quality cookware, couldn't be more pleased with the look and construction of this set. I'm sure they'll look even better when they have a patina develop. It was a little scary starting to cook on pans not covered in Teflon (it's been a while), but so far it's worked fine. The Teflon was the whole point of buying this kind of set, no matter how much we've spent on good quality non-stick pans eventually the Teflon breaks down. I'm in my fifties and I think this is the last cookware set I'll have to buy

So far I love this set. Easy to care for and they cook evenly. To remove any discoloration on the inside I use barkeepers friend and I always wash by hand and throughly dry. Very beautiful pots and pans that require a bit more tlc than other sets but totally worth it,

This set caught my eye in a sale flyer and after reading reviews and doing some research I decided I couldn’t pass this set up. My almost 10 year old set of non-stick pans had been in need of replacement for quite awhile but I hadn’t found a set that I liked that fit our budget until this set. I was a bit afraid to try stainless, having never cooked with anything other than non-stick and cast iron before but these turned out to be very easy to cook with and clean up easily as well. They have a nice weight and seem to distribute heat evenly. Barkeeper’s Friend cleans the copper right up and I now have them hanging from a pot rack since they are too pretty to hide in a cabinet.

This cookware is simply beautiful, and the value to market is crazy. Before getting this set I shopped many Copper Cookware sets, and for real copper in this piece count from a great brand like Viking you will literally pay over $600 easy. This set cooks wonderfully, and there is just a very small learning curve coming from non-stick cookware to a Stainless interior cooking surface. Just add a little bit of oil to the pan and you should be good to go. Also, when reading the care and use booklet, I noticed that they recommend really only cooking on medium heat to slightly over medium heat for best results and so far I agree. I grabbed some Bar Keepers Friend to use to keep this cookware polished and shinny.

I’ve used only a few time so far and have had no problems. The long handles are helpful on the large gas burners on my stove. No more hot plastic handles letting off noxious fumes. They are beautiful. My only issue is that the handles are riveted on the inside of each pan which creates two places where food can dry so I have to look closely to make sure the pan is clean.

OMG!! Absolutely the best cookware. Nice and heavy, handles are long enough where you grab to pick up without burning your hands. The absolute best price. Great value for the money.This isn't the cheap stuff, it's good, quality professional cookware. I have to buy it again for Christmas for my daughter.

Very attractive cookware set and very even cooking. Be careful to go easy on the heat though as they suggest in the manual. The stainless insides can be tough to clean as is normal. The outside is prone to overheating and may change color, but using the Penny Brite copper cleaner sample provided works great to solve any exterior issues. Unfortunately you can't find Penny Brite any more - which was biodegradable too!
