Great Fry Pan
I received this as a Christmas gift and absolutely love it. It has a large cooking area.
The skillet is 11 x 2 inches and has 7 layers of aluminum alloys.
Everything browns and cooks evenly. There are no hot spots. Foods can be sauted in the skillet and then finished in the oven or broiler up to 600 degrees F.
Unlike most other skillets, this pan has a wide bottom area. The skillet is 11 inches, the bottom which actually comes in contact with the heat is about 10 1/2 inches. I compared this skillet to others and, although they are 11 or 12 inches across, only 9 inches actually comes in contact with the heat source because they have slopping sides. The sides of the Viking skillet are almost straight.
Like all Viking, this skillet needs to be cleaned with Bar Keeper's Friend and then rinsed with soap and water to maintain it's brand new look.
It is advisable to first season Viking cookware by first washing it and then placing...
nice, above average construction and feel
I've snagged this Used-Like New for $80, and I'm happy with the choice. I wanted a stainless steel pan for searing, and came across this deal and jumped on it. This is my first stainless pan, so I can't compare it with others. the aluminum layering makes it lighter than I expected, but it weights a hefty 4+ pounds. The handle comes high, is made of polished steel and stays cool even on high temp cooking. The pan cooking area feels light for its size and thickness, due to the aluminum, like I mentioned. It gets searingly hot quick, and I was impressed with the sizzle it makes. It's stupid maybe, but the sizzle is sharp, uniform under the whole beef, with many sharp, distinct pops ( I was aware of it immediately, that's why I mention it) It sticks less than some low end nonstick coated pans and cleans up easily. The rough part of the dish sponge seems to leave fine scratch marks easily at cleaning, but that might be the norm with all steel.
Best cookware ever!
My wife loves it, and I love what she does with it. She says: "cooks evenly, cleans easily, my go-to pan".
