VICTORIA Seasoned Cast Iron Frying Pan 30cm, Day of The Dead La Calaca Special Edition, Suitable for BBQ, Oven, Induction, Gas, Pre-Seasoned Skillet for a Toxic-Free, PFOA-Free Non-Stick Surface

Love this pan. I’m new to using cast iron and went with this over the Lodge equivalent due to the longer handle. I didn’t give myself a chance to master making the original surface non stick. I ended up sanding the cooking surface down with 80 grit and seasoning after a couple of uses and eggs welded to the metal. It made an immediate difference an I use this pan to fry eggs every morning with no sticking at all. It’s a heavy piece of kit but I like this and the design is fun. Shipping from the states was just over a week.

Incredible quality. Solid skillet that you just know will last for generations. The pre seasoning is also excellent. Can’t fault this in any way. I’ve purchased Lodge cast iron items previously and they don’t come close to the quality of Victoria.

I've had a few makes of cast iron cookware in the past and I find that Victoria is the best that I have used. This one's just a little bit more interesting being Day of the Dead design on the base, which is interesting when you hang it up on the wall

Amazing pan arrived fast too, a week before due date, pattern on the bottom is great.

Can't remember what I paid for this, but it was an absolute bargain. BUY ONE!

Looks great and a comfortable weight. Looking forward to many years of use.

Beautiful and well constructed. I really didn't need to buy it but loved the "La Catrina". I have the regular 10.5 inch pan from Victoria which is great as well. You can use it for BBQ, grill, camp fires and any cooking surface. Although, I find that the regular works better with induction tops than La Catrina design maybe because of the groves and not 100% flat bottom (more like 97%) almost not noticeable. Both well maintained should last a lifetime and then some. Made in Colombia not the U.S. or China, that is a plus for Canadians. I couldn't find a local manufacturer unfortunately

Great pan well pre seasoned with nice design work good with a fairly smooth surface..

I reviewed several pans prior to purchasing Victoria 12 inch skillet. I refuse to spend $350 on a field and Company cast-iron pan with lid. This pan does everything that that one will do for us at 1:10 the price. I’ve had zero issues with anything sticking to it. all I do is give it a simple wipe with sunflower oil before cooking. The key to cooking with cast iron seems to be to start off on low heat and gradually work your way up to medium heat. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

I bought both the Victoria 10" skillet and the Lodge 10.25" Baker's Skillet as I was curious about both. I was going to keep one and give one to my son anyway. I prefer the double handles over the traditional single handle as I can't lift the pan with 1 hand anyway. It's also much lighter with the double handles compared to the pan with the single long handle. Both weigh about the same. But as you can see from the photo, the Victoria skillet is not 2" high as described in the photo listing. It's much shallower and the sides are more curved, like a frypan. I've used it on the stove and in the oven. It comes pre-seasoned and I was going to make focaccia in it for the first time so I didn't bother seasoning it before I first used it. The food stuck a little initially but it didn't bother me as I know it's only a matter of time that the pan becomes better and more non-stick. Cleaning up was easy. For the food that stuck initially, I just put some warm/hot water to the pan (once cool enough to touch) and let it sit for a bit to loosen then finished washing up with warm soapy water. Towel dry. Overall, even though I wished the sides were a little higher, I'm still very happy with it.

Empfehlenswert. Pfanne liegt flach auf. Top.
