Viking Stainless Steel Cookware Sets

Written by Mark Jala

Viking produces six cookware sets manufactured in Belgium. There is a 6 piece cookware set with a Santoku knife (the knife is manufactured in Germany using Old World techniques), a 7, 8, 10, and 11 piece set, and an 8 piece set with nonstick fry pans. The sets can be used on any surface, including induction because each vessel has an external layer of magnetic stainless steel. Lids are interchangeable on vessels of the same size. The cookware is produced with Viking' s exclusive multi-ply construction that includes an 18/10 stainless steel interior and exterior. The seven layers of stainless steel and aluminum go up the sides of the vessels; they are not restricted to the bottom. This creates an even and ideal cooking surface on all parts of the pots and pans.

Handles are investment-cast stainless steel, made ergonomic and with a stay-cool vent for ease of use and to provide relief during long cooking sessions for the cook.

The 7 inch Santoku knife in the first set has hollow-ground dimples that create air pockets and reduce drag for cutting delicate fish and meat. It's made of high-carbon-chronium-vanadium stainless steel . The steel is hot dropped, and ice-hardened to increase durability and retain sharpness. Handles are Polyxymethylene with fiberglass reinforcements triple riveted onto the blade.

These Viking cookware sets are oven safe, broiler safe, and the nonstick surface coated vessels are safe in your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. All are dishwasher safe, but for best results wash carefully by hand. These cookware sets have a lifetime warranty against defects.

Viking has become an innovator in all aspects of professional level cooking for the home. Their base of operations is Cotton Row in Greensboro, Mississippi. They've become integral to the town and its economy, and they feel a mutual love for their roots. In 1987, Fred Carl, a fourth generation building contractor, introduced a cooking range suitable for chefs but built for the home after he found out they did not exist. Since then the company has consulted with Toyota about innovation and design, and a concept called “kaizen” which means “continuous improvement.” Viking now uses production and innovation concepts they learned in partnership with Toyota to keep bringing new high performance goods and professional cookware to market. They also manufacture some products overseas in Europe.
