Almost purchased this earlier in the week online. Was in the store today and saw this set marked down another $50 and change on clearance. Had to pay tax but still saved some money.
Still $199.98 on the website.

Hell no. This is the best deal you will ever find on quality cookware.
I bought 5 sets for family members over the last 4 months. Everyone including 2 professional bakers are raving about them.
It was a serious question man
Cooking 101: if the food sticks to your pan, regardless of material, the pan wasn't hot enough yet. Of course there are caveats but that's the base rule, pan/pot on heat, wait til it's heated, don't go throwing stuff in immediately

You can fry an egg in a tri-ply stainless steel pan, but it requires more care than doing so in a non-stick pan. Here's a link to a video from All-Clad that demonstrates the technique (these Viking pans are the same technology so the same rules apply):

Stainless steel pans like this are great all-around tools, but cooking eggs is kind of a corner case. Thankfully, one can buy a "good enough" non-stick frying pan for $10-$15 if you don't want to fuss with using the stainless pans for that specific task.
Generally speaking, stainless steel isn't going to be nonstick like that so you'll still want to mist some olive oil in them. As with anything, cooking on stainless steel has a learning curve.
I don't own these particular pans, but my sister in law just bought a similar set of Tramontina (made in Brazil) and loves them. If I can find this deal nearby, I may have to pick it up and purge the other pans taking up space in the cabinet.
You can't compare non-stick vs stainless steel. However, this is by far best stainless steel utensils than what I'd before.
You can also heat your pan then use a high smoking point oil something like avocado oil coat the pan use a rag to move the oil over every part of the surface then take the pan off heat and let it cool for a moment before returning it to the heat and cooking
Uh... Hmmmm. I think the spray oil in a can is just a bit more convenient. But feel free to heat your pan up, coat and cool.
I have not found the spray oil to work well personally.
