Viking Reviews

This is the best blender I have ever owned. It is simple, yet powerful.

This is the best pan I've ever used. It heats so evenly, you barely have to stir. The handle stays cool. It's easy to clean. You use lower heat so the bottom of the pan is much easier to keep clean. I'm planning to purchase more Viking cookware.

This is the best pan I own. It cooks evenly, with no hot spots, it is big - a full 12 inches across! It is useful as a frying pan and as a saute. And to clean it, I just deglaze and then wash. To keep it shiny, I use Barkeepers Friend and a sponge. I am very glad I made the investment!

I have the Viking 4.5 quart saucepan but since that is no longer available at Amazon and no one has rated this pan, I decided to do so. I compared Viking to All Clad and to the stainless steel KitchenAid and found the Viking to be far superior. The biggest difference is the handle, which is the best I've seen on any brand. The handle stays cool and, most important, is so well designed that picking up and moving pans is easy even when the pan is full. This difference from AC and KA is most evident when one tries to tilt the pan. Both the others cut into your hand. Their handles also do not stay as cool. The Viking lid also stays cooler than AC or KA. Cooking itself, of course, is excellent. (I asume the other two are equal but I do not know that.) Well worth the extra $10-15.
