Product Description
A versatile frying pan is key in any good cook’s kitchen. This one from Viking, available in two sizes, features a five-ply construction with a stainless steel interior Read More
I have two of these and they clean up like a non-stick! The surface is so finely polished that even after cooking bacon and hash browns, the skillet cleans right up. I use a little BonAmi cleanser (which doesn't scratch) for any spots (like oil) and shines like new! I'm a one-pan cook so these work hard and never disappoint.
I have the 10" and 12" version of this pan. They're well put together, and seem at least as substantial (i.e. heavy!) and durable as All-Clad d5. I like the shape of the handles better than All-Clad's.
The fact that they don't sit evenly on a flat surface is a deal-breaker for me, though. Also, they've reinforced my personal opinion that 3-ply is better in terms of performance:weight, even if you completely ignore the cost difference.
got this over six months ago, excellent frying pan. after heavy use and abuse I'm still happy as a clam, but one significant design fault affects those who use electric stoves (induction/ceramic etc) :
The handle adds weight on one side only. consequently, pan does not balance well on even surfaces which leads to uneven heat conduction.
using a pan cover 'fixes' the issue, though this is not always ideal.
here are a couple of images to show you what i'm talking about..

still didn't have trouble getting a perfectly seared steak on the very same old-generation electric stove, even without a lid or intentionally 'pressing' down the pan.
(I like my steak MR with a light,partial crust that isn't charred. yum!)
Overall this is an excellent frying pan but it stains so quickly especially oil stains. It took me a good 30 mins cleaning until they were gone. But boy it’s a very pretty frying pan!
