Product Description
Victoria cast iron skillets are the perfect combination of tradition and functionality. Designed to last a lifetime, they will become one of your essential kitchen tools for achieving extraordinary results in every recipe thanks to their unparalleled ability to distribute and retain heat. They are an essential choice for any cooking enthusiast.
To season cast iron cookware, you must apply a layer of oil or fat and heat it, preferably for 15 minutes in the oven or on the stovetop until a light smoke appears. This protects the cast iron, prevents rust from forming, and keeps it in good condition. It is important not to scrub the bottom with excessive pressure so as not to remove this layer of oil (patina).
During washing
For cleaning your cast iron cookware, there are several correct and effective methods to ensure it stays in good condition. You can use mild detergents to remove food residue from the surface and, if necessary, use a steel wool sponge; alternatively, you can scrub with a little coarse salt to create the friction needed for cleaning. After washing, it is important to dry the entire surface of the cookware thoroughly with a dry cloth and then apply a layer of oil or fat.
It is important to keep in mind that seasoned cast iron is not suitable for dishwasher use, while enameled cast iron is completely dishwasher safe; however, doing so will significantly remove the patina that forms when cooking with oils and fats, which allows for greater natural and healthy non-stick properties for every preparation.

Benefits of cast iron
- Works with different heat sources, such as ovens, campfires, induction, glass-ceramic, gas, and electric cooktops.
- Lasts for generations.
- Retains heat and distributes it evenly, ensuring that meat is cooked to perfection.
- Its natural non-stick surface is achieved through seasoning and proper maintenance. If both processes are followed, the non-stick properties will improve progressively.
Cast iron recipes
Fantastic product!Pros:Very versatile for my cooking needs. Used on gas and charcoal bbq. Heats up quickly on high flame and then retains steady heat on low flame or indirect heat source. Easy to clean using stainless steel chainmail and maintain seasoning afterwards. Dual handle is small and very nice. Looks great!Cons:Dimensions are not exact as specified in description and photos. I find the dimension is little bit small on base cooking surface.Highly recommend to anyone looking for decent amount of cooking surface.
L'articolo non l'ho ancora utilizzato, non posso dire nulla, la pentola l'ho acquistata per avere una serie di misure completa per fare la Paella e mi sembra una pentola di qualità. Per questa paella ho usato un formato più grande.
Nice size easy to clean works great
This is how my brand new product showed up. Not “save with used” BRAND NEW. The skillet appears to be functional and Victoria is a good brand, this is not their fault. This was clearly returned or package was damaged in warehouse, do better Amazon.
This is my new favorite skillet. I have Lodge, but I purchased this because of the seasoning. Victoria uses flaxseed oil instead of vegetable oils. My husband is allergic to vegetable oils plus flaxseed oil molecularly bonds to your cast iron unlike vegetable oil.After I got this, I washed it and added one more coating of flaxseed oil. I put it in the oven at 450F for 40 minutes. It came out perfectly seasoned. I keep it on my stove top because I cook every day. After washing I just coat it in avacado oil or bacon grease.If foods burns or sticks a little you just put some water in the pan and let it simmer little. It comes lose easily with a spatula or green scrubber.The sides are curved for stir frying too. The price is great! I bought an "Almost new" pan. It's was like new. My friend saw it and liked it, so I bought her one too and seasoned it. She loves it.Cast iron has no chemicals, but if seasoned with vegetable oil it can cause allergic reactions and inflammation. Flax seed oil is what they use to drain woks. It's sturdy and easy to maintain.
My first time using this brand of cast iron cookware, normally it's Lodge. First dish I made was a classic potatoes au gratin...turned out great, built up good crusting around the edges. I like the smoother surface that this pan has compared to lodge. I'm planning to make this my " everyday " pan and get away from chemical leaching possible that some non-stick cookware seems to have. Overall seems to be a great pan having only used it once, I expect to use this many years and teach my kids how to cook one day. Thanks for reading my review, hope it enlightens someone out there. P.S. this cast iron seems lighter weight than others I've used.
Very disappointed in the order. I was shipped a pan that had clearly been used before. There were scratches and oil stain marks on the inside and and scuffs on the bottom of the pan.
This is my first time writing review on amazon. Do not buy this product.. I didn't even use it once yet. I put it in the dishwasher and ran it once but all the metal parts came off...I literally just got this product 3 days ago. Do not waste your money. This product is weird.
Easy clean, even heat on electric, nice weight not too hot, handles are perfect size for balancing stirrers and pickup.
I have used this cast iron skillet every day since I bought it. I love it! Easily rinses clean, then dry with a hand towel so it is ready for use again. Easily goes from stovetop to oven. Makes great grilled cheese sandwiches, bacon, main dishes, etc. I am SO HAPPY with this product and highly recommend it.
I love to cook with cast iron. I have an impressive collection of vintage Griswold, Wagner and Favorite Piqua pieces. But sometimes I need a really big pan. I bought 3 different vintage, size 12 skillets about this same size, two Griswolds and one Wagner. They looked great, but as soon as I heated them up they warped and began to spin on my glass cooktop. I finally gave up on very large vintage skillets. I already owned a Victoria griddle that I just love so I decided to try this Paella pan. The first thing I did after it came was to heat it up on my stove to make sure it would not warp. It didn’t. Maybe it didn’t warp because it is heavier than the vintage pieces I had bought earlier.I loved the size and shape of this pan. The surface was rougher than I had hoped. It is much smoother than the modern Lodge brand but not nearly smooth enough for my spoiled taste. So stripped all the factory seasoning by running the self cleaning cycle in my oven. I then took my angle grinder with a Diablo flap disk 80 grit and ground down the surface until it was smooth enough for my tastes. I then sanded it with a 120 grit sanding disc. I then re-seasoned it with flaxseed oil, several times. This was all a lot of work, but the result is an amazing pan that is as smooth as any of my vintage pieces. It sits perfectly flat on my glass cooktop.I’ve only cooked a couple of things in it so far, but I can tell it will be fantastic. Even heat distribution and a great curved shape.I also bought the Victoria 13 inch glass lid which fits this pan perfectly.I’ve finally solved my problem of finding a very large cast iron pan that stays flat when heated.I also love the idea that this pan was made in Colombia. I used to live in Colombia and have been to Medallin where these pans are made. I makes me feel good to cook on a pan made in Colombia.
Got a Lid also from Amazon separately..Perfect Duo..
White marks appear after cleaning and wiping. It stained the washcloth.
First of all - I returned this item to the Amazon location and have yet to receive my refund. I wanted to really like this pan however I used it ONE time to make Paella and washed it one time and it looked horrible! I returned it and have not received my funds.
It was broken when delivered. How is cast iron broken it must not be very good quality very disappointed
wenn man weiß wie man eine Gusseisen Pfanne handhaben muss,dann ist sie wirklich gut!
Se pueden hacer paellas en inducción, pero confirmar bien el tamaño de la base.Reparte muy bien el calor

Absolutely excellent cast iron. Has gotten better and better over time with nearly daily use. I’ve had this pan for 3 years and it has been so fuss free, lighter than Lodge, holds seasoning well, and is the perfect size for cooking meals for 4+ people.
I love that this is a round pan and it doesn’t have a large handle. Makes storing much easier
Qué es muy buen producto
Se ha convertido en mi sartén favorita. Tanto para preparar buenos cortes de carne, como paellera para hacer buenos arroces. La volveria a comprar mil veces.
Muy buena calidad , su terminación y perentacion del producto es perfecto, lo recomiendo
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We tested more than a dozen different oils and fats to get the best performance right from the start. Flaxseed oil, when used correctly, has always proven to be the best oil for base coats. This is due to several factors:
1. Polymerization: Flaxseed oil is a drying oil, which means it polymerizes more easily than non-drying oils, such as grapeseed oil, another popular oil for seasoning. This property allows it to form a durable, resistant, and non-stick seasoning layer on cast iron.
2. Smoke point: Flaxseed oil has a lower smoke point (around 225°F or 107°C). While this can be a disadvantage for cooking, it is actually beneficial for the seasoning process. The lower smoke point allows the oil to polymerize at lower temperatures, creating a strong bond with the cast iron surface.
3. Fatty acid composition: Flaxseed oil is high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, which is relatively stable compared to the polyunsaturated fats found in grapeseed oil and other popular seasoning oils. This stability can result in a longer-lasting, more resilient seasoning on your cast iron cookware.
4. Food safety: Flaxseed oil, when properly polymerized, forms a stable and safe surface for cooking. The polymerized layer reduces the risk of oxidation and the formation of harmful free radicals during cooking, ensuring a healthier culinary experience.
Our cast iron comes high-temperature seasoned and ready to cook. Here are our recommendations:
- Hand wash and dry completely before the first use.
- It is normal for food to stick to the surface of cast iron cookware during the first few uses. To prevent this, we recommend using a small amount of cooking oil or fat until the seasoning strengthens and settles. You can use any edible fat, such as vegetable oil, nut oil, lard, or butter.
- When cooking with cast iron, it is important to use the proper temperature to prevent food from sticking. Cast iron retains heat very well, so we recommend using low or medium-low heat for most foods. Delicate foods, such as proteins, cook best on low heat.
- To protect the seasoning, we also recommend avoiding acidic foods like tomatoes, vinegar, and citrus until the seasoning has had time to develop.
- If you want to give your cast iron cookware an extra layer of seasoning, some people choose to season it one or more times before use. This is not necessary if you take good care of the cookware, but it can help create a thicker seasoning layer in less time. Ultimately, the decision is yours.
Although it can be exciting to start using your new cookware, it is important to avoid common mistakes that can damage the seasoning and cause problems when cooking. To prevent these errors, we recommend:
- If you make a mistake and rust appears or food sticks to the pan, don't worry: cast iron is durable and can be restored with proper care and maintenance. To learn more about how to re-season your cookware, check the instructions included in the packaging or on this website.
- Remember that, as long as your cast iron cookware is not broken, it can always be recovered and returned to its original state.
- With proper care and attention, your cast iron cookware will provide you with many decades of reliable use.
We are working on it and will launch it soon. In the meantime, tell us what you prefer: glass or iron?
