Given the strength of consumer loyalty and affinity for Viking appliances, it should come as no surprise that they have decided to enter the cookware production industry. With limited distribution and ultra-premium performance, the demand for Viking cookware is certain to be high. If you have a Viking range and wish to have a total Viking culinary experience, cookware is the natural extension. The Therm-alloy construction is unique to Viking. It is a 7-ply material that extends throughout the vessel including the sides, for even and efficient distribution of heat. A saucepan this size is handy for cooking grains, vegetables, sauces and heating up soups.
