Prized by professional chefs and home cooks alike, the Tri-Ply Copper Cookware 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 Copper Cookware set is made from real copper.

Non-reactive, durable surgical-grade stainless steel interior prevents metallic flavor from copper or other metals from leaching into your food. The aluminum-alloy core found in Tri-Ply Copper Cookware 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. Due to its high thermal conductivity of copper, you’ll achieve perfectly uniform heating and exceptional temperature control.

Viking 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.

For precision heat control or for the aesthetic of copper, you will love this cookware. Naturally developing 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.
