Luxury Cookware

Prized by professional chefs and home cooks alike, the 10-Piece Tri-Ply Copper Cookware Set from Viking serves up superior performance paired with a beautiful, real copper exterior finish. Unlike cookware sets that are painted with a copper color exterior, the Viking 10-Piece 3-Ply Hammered Copper Cookware set is made from real copper. Because of this, your cookware set will naturally develop a rich patina over time as well as show color variations caused by heat (especially excessive heat) and marks from fingerprints. These natural and normal cosmetic changes to the copper will not affect the cooking performance. If you want the cookware to look new over time, frequently clean the cookware with a copper polish such as PennyBrite by EZ Brite or with a natural mixture of lemon and salt. Due to its high thermal conductivity of copper, you’ll achieve perfectly uniform heating and exceptional temperature control. Your copper cookware will not only heat up quickly, but it cools quickly as well, making it the perfect companion for cooks seeking precision in their cooking. That's why professional chefs prize copper cookware to handle even the most delicate of tasks. When it comes to cooking with copper cookware, keep your heat low to moderate and let the pan do the rest! High heat will increase the color change with copper cookware but can still be removed with a good copper cleaner. The hammered copper line features a non-reactive, durable surgical-grade stainless steel interior that prevents metallic flavor from copper or other metals from leaching into your food. The aluminum-alloy core found in the Viking 10-piece Hammered Tri-Ply Copper Cookware set evenly transfers heat from rim-to-rim, eliminating hot spots and giving you the perfect sear each and every time. The combination of the three bonded or clad metals distribute heat more evenly across the pan while also maintaining a higher cooking temperature, even while cooking on low-to-medium heat. It is best not to cook on anything other than low-to-medium heat with clad cookware. Ergonomic handles reduce pressure on your wrists and ensure a comfortable grip. Vented, tempered glass lids help prevent boil-overs and allow you to monitor progress without losing heat. Keep the exterior of your cookware looking new by cooking only on low-to-medium temperatures and by regularly wiping it with a copper polish or by using a combination of lemon and salt. Washing your cookware by hand after each use and drying by hand as well will also help to keep its color uniform. It is recommended to store your cookware in a dry location.

Revered by chefs worldwide, copper is recognized as one of the most efficient metals to cook with due to the exceptional heat transfer and control that copper provides. Copper cookware is an essential tool for creating amazing sauces and reductions as well as delicate preparations that require exacting temperatures like many desserts. Copper responds to temperature changes quickly, allowing you to adjust cooking temperature on the fly with faster results than other metals. The Viking 4-ply Contemporary Copper Cookware modernizes cooking with copper by adding an induction capable cooking base; traditional copper was not induction compatible. To make the pan induction capable, we grind the copper off the bottom of the pan, exposing the stainless steel layer. The multi-ply clad construction transfers heat efficiently across the bottom of the pan as well as up the sides. The exterior copper layer provides exceptional temperature control. The unexposed core is stainless steel and aluminum to transfer the heat quickly and evenly throughout the pan. The interior cooking surface is a non-reactive surgical grade 304 stainless steel which will not react with the acids in your food or impart a metal taste. The set includes domed metal lids that help lock in flavor as you steam or braise. The dome shaped lid helps the condensation fall back into the pan, keeping your food moist during cooking. The interior of the saucepan, sauté pan, and stockpot feature convenient measurement marking to allow you to add water without having to use a separate measuring cup. Signature Viking handles are solid cast from stainless steel and feature a heat break to help the handles stay cooler during use. They will get hotter during use when using a gas stove, so we always recommend using protection when touching cookware that has been heated. Viking Contemporary Copper is durable for stovetop use, functional enough to finish or cook dishes in the oven to 600°F and elegant enough to take to the table for serving. We recommend hand washing to maintain the luster of your cookware.
