Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillets, Pizza Pans, Griddles, and Comals... the pans your grandkids will fight over someday.
Nonstick coatings come and go (mostly go, usually right about when the warranty runs out). Cast iron does the opposite: the more you cook on it, the better it gets. One good skillet can outlast the stove you bought it for.
This is our lineup of foundry-poured Victoria cast iron, pre-seasoned and ready to cook the day it lands on your porch, plus a few specialty pieces the big-box shelf quietly stopped carrying. Skillets, reversible griddles, pizza comals in three sizes, and the little tools that keep them all happy.
Iron-clad decisions, made easy.
- EVERYDAY WORKHORSE - searing, frying, cornbread, a whole roast chicken. The Cast Iron Skillets by Victoria come in a range of sizes and handle about 90% of what a kitchen throws at them. If you buy one pan, buy this.
- Pizza night at home? The Cast Iron Pizza Pan / Comal comes in 10, 12, and 15 inch and moonlights as a comal for tortillas, a flat-top for quesadillas, and a crust-crisper that gives any pizza stone a run for its money.
- (Feeding a hungry crowd?) The reversible Cast Iron Griddles by Victoria give you a flat side for pancakes and grilled cheese and a ridged side for burgers and veggies with real grill marks.
- Scared of the upkeep? Don't be. A Round Cast Iron Brush by OXO and a slip-on Silicone Handle are the only babysitting these pans ask for. No overnight soaks, no scrubbing marathons.
- Want something a little different? We keep the Swedish Plett Pan for silver-dollar pancakes and a hand-crank Cast Iron Corn Mill for grinding your own cornmeal, flour, and coffee.
Yep, we're the kitchen store that still bets on iron.
Kooi Housewares is a real, family-run store in Muskegon, Michigan, and cast iron is the stuff we actually cook on at home. Here is the insider bit: Victoria seasons every pan with non-GMO flaxseed oil right at the foundry, so it shows up ready for eggs instead of sitting in a box like a science project. Treat it right (cook, wipe, thin coat of oil) and it will outlive every nonstick pan you ever buy. Not sure which size fits your family? Email us at support@kooihousewares.com and a real person will point you the right way.
