Viking 13-Piece Tri-Ply Copper Cookware Set

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

These pans are not only beautiful, but are excellent quality. They cook evenly and clean up beautifully. I love the measuring lines inside the pans and especially love the pasta strainer. The pot handles stay touchable when the put is hot, but the lid handles get hot. Overall, this set was an excellent value for the quality!

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.

I was so tired of buying non-stick cookware and having them wear out within a year or two. There are 8 in our household and we do a lot of cooking. This set of cookware will last a lifetime. I like how well it distributed heat and cooks on lower setting than other pans. No problems with food sticking when cooked at lower heat. Like that this cookware can go in the oven as well as stove. We have a smooth top range and they have worked wonderfully.

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.

So far I love them! Just follow the cooking instructions to avoid sticking. The outside does require a little extra cleaning to keep them shiny, but I have to wash them anyway - I just use Barkeepers Friend and some copper polish.

Not only is this cookware set beauiful, but it is also well-made. It has riveted handles and each piece has a nice weight to it. With the proper care, this set will definitely last a lifetime. Incredible value for all the "home chefs" out there.

The first time we used these, the finish started coming off the pan. We didn't use high heat. It looks “melted” in spots and changed colors. There are drip-shaped marks in the finish- Those are not water spots. Some areas of the pan went silver, like the finish disappeared. It's not a tarnishing issue, so we returned them and bought the same set without the copper finish.

They are supposed to have a copper layer on the exterior, but it appears it is some kind of finish... After the first use they even started to show discoloration while on the stove, just from the heat. Now they are all silver, yellow, copper-ish, and bright pink. The pans cook really well and feel nice and heavy/sturdy. The finish/copper layer is very disappointing if you are looking for copper.

I received these as a gift, and I wish my husband had done more research on their maintenance before purchasing. The very first time I used a pan to make some quick quesadillas for my kids, the whole copper surface of the pan turned a blotchy pinkish-red color. I called the manufacturer and they said that discoloration with use is pretty normal and I could use some vinegar and water to bring back the original color. I don't want to have to polish my pots/pans after every use. I cook three meals a day for five kids, someone in my position does not have time for such delicate cookware, no matter how well they conduct heat.
