Review of Viking 7-Ply Stainless 3-Quart Saucepan

I have the Viking 4.5 quart saucepan but since that is no longer available at Amazon and no one has rated this pan, I decided to do so. I compared Viking to All Clad and to the stainless steel KitchenAid and found the Viking to be far superior. The biggest difference is the handle, which is the best I've seen on any brand. The handle stays cool and, most important, is so well designed that picking up and moving pans is easy even when the pan is full. This difference from AC and KA is most evident when one tries to tilt the pan. Both the others cut into your hand. Their handles also do not stay as cool. The Viking lid also stays cooler than AC or KA. Cooking itself, of course, is excellent. (I asume the other two are equal but I do not know that.) Well worth the extra $10-15.
