Beautiful to look at, but does it perform? I have used top-of-the-line cookware: Calphalon (when it was the only "professional grade" on the market), All-Clad, Kitchen Aid, Mauviel; the Viking is the most responsive and easiest with which to cook. And it cleans up beautifully. It is heavy, so keep that in mind, but I prefer cooking in heavy vessels. And it is definitely high-end, price-wise, but well worth the cost, as you will never need to replace it. I am replacing all my other cookware with Viking, piece by piece.

This pan has the quality I've come to love in Viking's cookware. It is just the right size and performs wonderfully. This is another perfect pan from Viking.

This appears to be a really nice piece of cookware, and its 7-ply construction makes this pan heat up slightly better than an All-Clad pan, which is very difficult to find in a product available to the public rather than just to restaurants and professional chefs. Nonetheless, the "ergonomic" handle on this reduction saucepan makes lifting it such a chore that I opted for an All-Clad reduction (Windsor) pan instead. My All-Clad Windsor pan may not conduct heat quite as well, but it is much easier to lift and hold. Considering everything, a pan this expensive should not contain a major design flaw such as the Viking does.
