The Viking 17-piece 3-ply clad stainless steel cookware set features three layers of stainless steel and aluminum to distribute heat evenly throughout the pan, sides included. The set features vented glass lids that make it easy to see what is happening during the cooking process while also reducing the chance of boil-overs. The interior of the saucepans and stock pots are marked with easy-to-use measurement markings so you know how much rice or liquid to add. This premium set features versatile swing lids for the fry pans allowing the 3 qt saucepan lid to fit the 8-Inch Fry Pan, the 3.5 qt saute pan lid to fit the 10-inch fry pan, and the 5.5 qt casserole pan lid to fit the 12-inch fry pan. Dual spouts on the sauce/butter/milk pan allow for right and left-handed pouring. The universal steamer fits both the 2-quart and 3-quart sauce pan. The cookware features the signature Viking solid cast stainless steel handles that are riveted on with stainless steel rivets for a lifetime of use. The stainless steel pans are oven, grill, and broiler safe to 600°F without the lid. The lids are oven safe to 350°F, making it easy to finish a dish in the oven or even bake an entire casserole in the pan and take it right to the table for serving. All of the lids and cookware are dishwasher safe, but we always recommend hand-washing to help maintain the mirror-polished finish and extend the life of the cookware.
