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.

I received this pan and a small Viking frying pan free when I purchased my Viking stove. I thought that I had plenty of good pots & pans but decided to give the free Viking a try. These are fantastic pieces of equipment! They are made in Belgium and are nice and heavy. I agree with the review above that the handle is the best. Very comfortable. I've had this pan for 4 or 5 years and it looks like new. Just regular handwashing & an occasional scrub with Bon Ami brings out the shine. This will last generations!
