Hibiscus House: Product Review: Viking Professional Performance for Your Home

I've had this set of pots since the end of January and thought it was 'High Time' I did a review on them. Viking has been around for almost 40 years. Now I cook almost non-stop so my cookware needs to handle a beating for sure. Here is my review of the product.

I'll cut straight to my review and then add facts and descriptions below that.

Results

I recommend!

Pros

Very Favorable.
My experience using
More substantial weight
Very Good Stay Cool Handles
Cook Really Well All Pieces
Cook at lower temperatures
Delicious fond which makes recipes taste so flavorful
Lower heat for great cooking results
Even with constant use of the inside and sides, my frying pans look great
The pots with constant use still after almost 6 months of use look great no staining on them

Cons

It takes a little longer to heat up but given the weight of the pots it is understandable
You may have to work a little hard at keeping the bottoms of the frying pans clean
The bottom of my frying pan isn't pristine, but then again I cook constantly

To Sum It Up

I like these and use them regularly. If you think the frying pan is non-stick you will have to know it is not but in time it tends to cook extremely well in that manner. Viking does make nonstick pans as well. I'm not going to say that scrambled eggs won't stick in a small way to the frying pans but they are heavy enough to cook well.

I love the double boiler because we cook lots of pasta in this household it holds a lot!

The pots cook really well. Can you tell I like them? I do I really do.

Disclosure: I purchased my set from Sam's Club for a ridiculously low price. Sadly, this set is currently out of stock but the link complete with many reviews can be found here.
