We received this 9 1/2 inch Viking fry pan yesterday from MetroKitchen.com - ordered through Amazon. We very carefully followed the manufacturer's directions for washing and drying and then for seasoning the pan and again washing and drying it.
This morning I thought I put plenty of oil in the pan, preheated it per the manufacturer's instructions, then added chopped onions and mushrooms and then the beaten eggs when the veggies were partly cooked. I used medium low heat and covered the pan.
When the omelet was done it would NOT come out of the pan. It took a couple of minutes of hard scraping with a nylon spatula to get what was now a SCRomelet out and onto our plates. Good thing we didn't have company because it tasted great but looked completely awful.
After soaking the pan for about a half hour and washing it repeatedly with hot soapy water and a nylon scrub pad there were still whiteish spots in the bottom. Only after adding half vinegar and half water and soaking it again did the spots come out. Now it looks bright and shiny again, but so MUCH work!
I reseasoned the pan using instructions from a different web site and am hoping that the next time I use it the results will be better.
I have also written a review of the Viking 8 piece set which we purchased from Amazon at the same time. You might want to read that review to find out about what looks to me like Viking's non existent customer service for their "lifetime warranty".
world's best cookware, I write this now not about this purchase but about all the Viking cookware that I have used over the years. I have never had an 8" fry pan in my kitchen but surely expext the same as always. This will make 8 and will make my kitchen cookware as good or better than any one.
Viking pan, (What's this?) I bought this pan to give as a Christmas gift ... he wanted the best cookware that money can buy.
I could tell by the smile on his face when he opened the box that it was a winner. Only Viking was what he wanted.
Beautiful, but extremely heavy, (What's this?) I bought this pan for my new induction stove top but ended up returning it, because it is much too heavy to be useful or to flip its content around. A beautiful design and extremely solid otherwise. I wish they would make a 10 inch version of it...
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.
get what you pay for ?, I don't have any problem with someone buying standard cookware or the best i guess with the cheaper stuff you might have uneven cooking /hot spots/ slooping sides / handle falls off & as far as stainless cookware goes all of it wont be nonstick (in responce to another reviewer )only nonstick is nonstick you can't seer to well with nonstick med heat max viking is like all clad made to last personaly i don't own any viking my friend does, says its good quality i have 1 all clad piece & a bunch of italian made cast aluminum nonstick which i like alot because it heats fast & evenly& low cost & caphalon &cuiesinart & italian portabelo stainless if you spend lets say 600.00 ( copper bottom or sanwich/type/ riveted solid forged handles 18/ 10 steel etc. or more on top quality cookware & use it every day you will get youre moneys worth. if you use nonstick dont spend a lot it all gets scratched overtime & just toss it. good stainless should last 20 yrs so with nonstick its convenience stainless durability.even with stainless you have to be somewhat easy on it thats why commercially they use mostly all alluminum it can take a beating like nothing else & costs little .
