Details & care
The 3-Ply Stainless Steel Viking 12 quart. Stockpot helps to achieve rolling boils in a shorter time than conventional stockpots due to the clad construction throughout the vessel. The 3-Ply Stainless Steel build allows the side of the vessel to transfer energy from the side walls as well as the bottom so that more of the pot is working to distribute heat quickly and evenly. Beautifully polished to a mirror finish the Viking stockpot is constructed with a three layers of metal - the exterior layer is a magnetic 18/0 stainless steel making this pot compatible with induction stovetops as well as gas, electric and ceramic. The next layer is an aluminum alloy to evenly and efficiently distribute the heat throughout the pot. The inner cooking layer is 18/8 surgical stainless steel that is easy to clean and non-reactive, making it an excellent surface for preparing acidic foods such as tomato based sauces. The combination of materials increases the heat transfer throughout the pan, making more efficient for cooking. The large capacity of the stockpot is ideal for preparing pastas, soups, stocks and more. The vessel's high walls minimize evaporation, making it ideal for slow simmering techniques. The Viking signature handles are mounted to the vessel with solid stainless steel rivets and are designed for easy grip even with a towel or oven mitt. Compatible with all stove types, the Viking stockpot is oven and grill friendly up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. - Color: silver - 11" x 13" x 10" - Imported

Perfection
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only is this pot HUGE it's also heavy duty. Cooks to perfection and looks nice as well. Cleaning it was super simple. We absolutely love it and have used it about 5 times already. I recommend this!!!

An excellent addition to our kitchen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been slowly upgrading all of our cookware to higher-end stainless steel, and so when I got the chance to review this piece from Viking I was excited to knock another one off our list. It’s very comparable to other brands we have (not sure if I can list, but think of some of the other heavy hitters in the stainless steel space) and we’re super happy with it.
I can’t wait to see how it holds up over time, but for now, we’re super impressed.

My new go-to pot for pho.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this pot. It's heavy and made to last. It heats up fast and holds a lot. I like that there are measurements on the inside. Easy to clean and okay to size to store away. My new pho pot.

THIS HEAVY-DUTY CHEF-GRADE STOCK POT IS A WORK OF
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Viking 3-Ply Stainless Steel 12-Quart Stock Pot is almost too beautiful to use. Not only is it stunning, with its polished stainless steel exterior and equally beautiful 304 surgical-grade steel interior (with clear, easy-to-read measurement lines etched into the side), but this stock pot also has substance.
This is a serious piece of cookery. No lightweight, this has the comfortable heft and durability of the well-built, chef-quality Stock Pot that it is. Made of 3-ply bonded stainless steel with a thick aluminum core, heat is distributed uniformly (and EVENLY) from the base all the way up the sides of the pot; and it won't react with acidic or alkaline foods. The signature Viking riveted stay-cool handles are easy to grip, hold, and drain even when the pot is full. To top it off it’s easy to clean (hand-washed or dishwasher), it can be used on a variety of cooktops (electric, gas, induction, halogen, ceramic, oven), and it comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. This 12-Quart Stock Pot is truly a work of art.
I’ve used it a few times this Summer to make large-batch dishes for our pool parties, and it’ll receive serious heavy-duty use come Fall.
In summary, I love everything about this beautiful heavy-duty stock pot and I personally recommend my Viking 3-Ply Stainless Steel 12-Quart Stock Pot to anyone looking for a beautiful versatile chef-quality stock pot.
PS/
I love the look of this piece SO much that it’s permanent home is atop our Kitchen Aid range for all to see [see photo]

Great pot for cooking!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this stock pot! It is such great quality and distributes heat evenly for cooking. I like how large it is so that I can make large batches of food to freeze. Such a great staple item!

Best stockpot I’ve ever owned!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This 12 qt Viking stockpot is huge while not taking up an overly large amount of space on the cooktop. The heat distribution is even and immediate, providing a consistent cooking surface and great heat conduction all the way to the top of the pot. It cleans quite easlly with just soap and water and is obviously well made. The high quality polished stainless steel and tightly machined lid exude quality and durability providing for years of (probably generational) use. An added bonus are the measurement lines on the inside of the pan allowing for accurate measuring when using a pot filler or when a precise amount of ingredient is required. While a little pricey, you definitely get what you pay for so if you are particular about your culinary equipment, you will not be disappointed! This is my first piece of Viking cookware but it definitely won’t be my last.

A great investment for any kitchen!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Viking 12-Quart 3-Ply Stainless Steel Stock Pot for a few weeks now, and it’s been an outstanding addition to my kitchen. The 3-ply construction truly delivers on its promise of excellent performance—heats evenly, retains temperature well, and doesn’t react with food. It’s perfect for making soups, stocks, stews, and even boiling pasta or seafood.
One of the standout features is the even heat distribution, thanks to the thick aluminum core that extends up the sides of the pot. Everything cooks consistently without hot spots. The design is also beautiful—the polished stainless steel exterior and handle give it a professional, high-end look that matches well with other cookware.
I really appreciate the solid, sturdy handles—they feel secure, and the riveted design adds to the overall durability. The lid fits snugly, and the flared edges help when pouring, preventing spills.
This pot is also incredibly versatile. It’s safe in the oven and under the broiler up to 600°F, and it works on all stovetops. Plus, being dishwasher safe and compatible with metal utensils is a huge bonus.
Overall, I highly recommend this pot to anyone serious about cooking. It’s a great investment backed by a limited lifetime warranty, and it feels like a product that will last for many years.
