VikingViking 3-Ply Stainless Steel Fry Pan, 10 Inch, Silver

First off, the pan was described as an 18/0 alloy of stainless steel (which would probably be a bad idea) while the details on the product listing said it was 18/10 stainless. I thought I'd trust that Viking was smart enough to choose a good alloy and luckily it turned out to be what I wanted which was 18/8 stainless.Secondly, this pan is not the Viking Stainless Professional series so it is absolutely made in China. I did research and traced the model number to figure that out. That's disappointing because there are numerous cases of Chinese steel suppliers delivering less expensive alloy alternatives so the extra money spent on this versus other options may not be warranted.That being said, the pan is asthetically and functional very pleasing. I washed and gently seasoned the pan before the first use which I've never done for stainless but I will do from now on. Heat conduction on this pan is much better than an old 10" Kirkland (Costco). It heats up much more quickly than my identically sized Zwilling ceramic. Heat up pan with med or med low heat (conduction is so good I need less heat than with other pans) then add fat (oil or butter) then food. I've done eggs over easy, scrambled, and omelettes all without issues sticking. No discoloration of pan inside or out and I'm using gas burners.Great pan, recommended buy. But I can't yet tell if the extra $20 for the Viking name is justified. I'm tempted to try a cheaper option before I replace the rest of my pans.I'm never going back to non-stick coatings including ceramic. I believe this pan will last a lifetime without risks of chipping complex chemicals into my food.

One of my favorite stainless steel pans. We recently switched over to Viking from a different brand and it has changed our cooking so much. Even cleaning the pan is really easy.

There are some things you should know before getting this amazing stainless steel pan. The thing is, yes, if you don't SEASON your stainless steel and throw in things it will definitely stick.- Try to bring things like eggs near to your ambient temperature. Sometimes it doesn't matter in the sense that it might be inevitable that it will stick. The trick is being patient and learning how to handle the heat.- BUY but don't overly abuse Bar's Keeper Friend. It will truly be your best friend when maintaining your stainless steel and this means that if you have residue/chemical stuff you can easily remove it all and bring it back to its original state with pouring some Bar's Keeper Friend and softly/gently taking off the residue on the surface. You should NEVER try to put force to clean your stainless steel. It will damage your pan.It's not rocket science. It takes patience and learning about your stovetop more than you think. Heat distribution works different with stainless steel cookware versus teflon/hexclad pans. They don't have the same heat distribution dynamics therefore don't try to just have your stainless steel heated at high and wonder why things went wrong. Usually I stay around medium to medium-low because of how good this thing distributes heat and retains heat.After learning how to use my pan I can cook almost anything on it. Rice, poultry, meats, etc etc. It's just that good. It shouldn't be a surprise either that.The pan itself is heavy at first but not heavier than a cast iron pan of the same size. It can take some time to adjust to the weight and knowing the heat distribution. Once you learn that you are on your way making eggs, fish, etc all contents that might "stick" but doesn't because you seasoned your pan before using it.Cleans very easily most of the time. I still maintain its surface with Bar's Keeper Friend. Do not buy stainless steel cookware without it becauseh onestly you might be degrading your stainless steel cookware further.If it sticks it's not because the pan is bad. It is because you need patience and understanding on how to handle things on this type of cookware.

Fabulous…but read my warning at the bottom —I have a couple of pieces of Viking cookware, and I absolutely love them! I just purchased a small frying pan, and while everything else is perfect flat bottom, gorgeous appearance I have no worries about sticking. I was very unhappy to find that they put stickers on the metal itself. As you can see from the images that I have posted the back of it was damaged, trying to remove their BS sticker!! Whoever had the bright idea to do that needs to be removed from their position!

I received a smaller version of this skillet. My brother saw mine and chose to purchase a full set for him and his wife. We searched Marshalls, TJ Maxx and a few other places. We were lucky in our search to find a lot of the pieces. We found the skillet here. The shipping box was self made as the handle didn't fit in the box fully. The skillet was wrapped expertly, arrived just as it should. This is the skillet to perfectly cook eggs without sticking.

I brought this frying pan thinking it would be easier to clean. Only used a few times and find it very hard to clean and that I had to scrub very hard withBrillo pads and still didn’t come clean. I have a 8” one have no problem with cleaning and that was the reason I bought this one. Don’t buy it, you’ll regret it not worth the money and Energy!!

Muy buen producto buena calidad 100% recomendable
