Product Description
The Victoria cast iron arepa, crepe, dosa, or pizza pan is the perfect combination of tradition and functionality. Designed to last, it will become one of your essential kitchen tools for achieving extraordinary results, whether you are preparing pizzas with your favorite ingredients or grilling vegetables, meat, and fish, thanks to its unparalleled ability to distribute and retain heat. It is an essential choice for every 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 stove, until 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 subsequently 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 during cooking with oils and fats, which allows for greater natural, healthy non-stick properties for every preparation.

Cast iron recipes
Aún no lo pruebo. Se ve de buena calidad y duradero. Es pesado. Está hermoso.
I read somewhere that that seasoning it comes with it’s not enough first time I washed this when it dried it became rusty, so I ended up giving it another 2 seasoning, after every wash for some reason the rust keeps on appearing, what I have decided to do is just wype it with paper towels every time I cook and it works.
Perfect for Indian dosa
The size isn't 25cm diameter as indicated
A very good quality griddle/tawa. I use it for making dosa. After proper seasoning it doing a great job.
he seguido las instrucciones para curar un comal, pero he notado que algo se ha desprendido de él durante el proceso. Ahora busco orientación sobre si puede seguir utilizando el comal o si debe tomar alguna precaución adicional.
It's been a solid cast iron pizza pan. I've also used it on top of a Webber kettle grill to make smash burgers and other foods and it's done a great job. As my picture shows, it does have some scratches and deformities after high-heat usage that cleaning and reseasoning does not seem to fix, but so far they're just cosmetic and don't impact usage. I use a Crisby stick (beeswax) to reseason it after each use. Stays fairly non-stick when heated up nicely. No issues.
I bought this to make large tortillas for my blog. When I tried making them in my large cast iron skillet, they were getting caught up on the edges of the pan. This tawa worked wonders! Thanks for a wonderful product!
I cooked an egg ofter oiling at 220 deg C and cooling down. The egg was cooked sunny side up and peeled away with almost without no sticking. Im confident that my planned Korean BBQ will work on portable induction cooker indoors at Christmas.
I hate bad reviews, but his comal I purchase for use on Stove, is to much over heat and burn everything, then I washed and rust waste all over on the top.
In case you can’t tell, I love this pan. I ordered it to make French crepes and Chinese jian bing, and it does both beautifully. It needed a little seasoning at first, but not as much as I expected. The first batch of crepes was a bust, but everything since then has been .
This is what I received it was used and abused total trash
This cast iron pan makes the perfect pizza! Once preheated, your homemade pizza is done within 7-10 minutes. Bakes the perfect crispy crust we all want on the outside with a soft, fluffy inside. BEST PAN ever!!!
Die Gusseiserneplatte hält was sie verspricht!Klare Kaufempfehlung, für alle die den Platz haben.Ich nutze es auf einem Bosch Induktionskochfeld (80cm), wo es die komplette Flexzone inkl. der Pluszone benötigt.Siehe Foto.Erst auf Stufe 4 langsam aufheizen lassen und dann bei 6-7 arbeiten.Am Anfang noch mit etwas Fett arbeiten.Lange Abkühlzeit ist klar, da massives Gusseisen.Mit leichter Seifenlauge oder nur mit Wasser reinigen. Wichtig, da Gusseisen, trocken wischen und nen dünnen Ölfilm rauf geben.Vergesst nicht das richtige Kochgeschirr für Crêpes. 35cm Arbeitsklinge, sollte der Wender schon haben.Und man kann natürlich noch vieles andere darauf zubereiten.👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Excellent skillet pan for making Pizza, bread (nan) and so much more. Has good thickness for durability and retains heat when you open the oven door, doesn’t cool down quickly.Large size flan fit different sizes of all pizzas and gives you flexibility. Handle is perfect for sliding the pan out to put on another pizza.
This item was delivered rusted and it is scratched on the handle area. I didnt have a chance to unpack the item during the return period and not sure if I still can return or exchange it. The link to the product support website takes you to the City of Victoria's site. Very disappointed. Not worth the money I paid for this.
It's okay now after seasoning for almost a year on the bottom shelf in my oven, virtually nothing will stick to it at this point, but the preseasoning was terrible when it was new.
I just used two times and both times it’s sticky and burned from middle so disappointed, not working dosa stick, never come out
I purchased this pan based on some positive reviews, however as everyone mentioned in the negative reviews, I totally agree that dosas are indeed sticking to the pan. That being said, I started researching on how to season the cast iron cookware, I found many YouTube videos, most of them are seasoning in oven by applying oil. I tried following the steps as coating coconut oil and at 350 degrees 30 min I seasoned like 3 times and that’s about it. For making dosas, I coated oil with onion on pan and dosas just came out without sticking. Hope this review helps who gave up on this cast iron pan for Dosa.
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.
