This viking cookware series is a comparable in quality and durability to my older analon cookware set that lasted 24+ years. Would highly recommend it.

Small saucepan is perfect for vegetable soups and stews. Wight of pan is evenly distributed to balance with the handle. Only complaint is the handle is very short.

Calphalon pans are my new favorite. Their reputation has even surpassed farberware for use and durability.

This pan heats well, is thick for good heat distribution, and you just soak it for a bit for easy cleanup. Tri-ply is more expensive than ordinary stainless steel.

The size is just perfect for my fam of 3. Overall i'm glad i opted for this pan -- the size increases its usefulness and it's now my goto pan.

The bottom of the pan shows signs of pitting. The lid handles are too hot to touch; i need to use oven mitts.

For a quality pan it has a poorly designed handle. Nope, no thanks. My $5 ikea pans have help up better and longer than this one.
