Victoria Cast Iron: Foundry-Poured Skillets, Comals, and Griddles Made by the Same Family Since 1939.
Not all cast iron is created equal. Victoria is a family-owned foundry in Colombia that has been pouring iron since 1939, from recycled metal, seasoned with non-GMO flaxseed oil instead of the cheaper canola most brands use. The result arrives ready to cook, and Food Network named their skillet the number-one pick.
We love Victoria because it's the real thing: heirloom-grade iron that shows up already seasoned and gets better with every meal you cook on it.
Iron that outlives the stove you bought it for.
- THE FAMOUS SKILLET - the Cast Iron Skillets (Food Network's number-one pick) come in 8, 10, and 12 inch and do nearly everything: sear a steak, fry an egg, bake cornbread.
- Pizza and tortillas? The Cast Iron Comal (10, 12, and 15 inch) is the traditional Mexican griddle that doubles as the best pizza pan you'll ever own.
- Feeding a crowd? The reversible Griddles flip from flat (pancakes) to ridged (grill marks), and the 7-Quart Dutch Oven handles braises, stews, and no-knead bread.
- Taco night, from scratch? The Cast Iron Tortilla Press presses fresh rounds to cook on the comal.
- (Handle the heat safely.) The Silicone Handle Cover takes up to 475 degrees, and the hand-crank Corn & Grain Grinder lets you mill your own cornmeal and flour.
Cast iron is the stuff we actually cook on at home.
Kooi Housewares is a family-run store in Muskegon, Michigan, and Victoria is our cast iron of choice. Here's the insider bit worth knowing: because Victoria pre-seasons with flaxseed oil right at the foundry, a new pan shows up ready for eggs instead of sitting in a box waiting for a seasoning project. Treat it simply, cook, wipe, thin coat of oil, and it will outlast every nonstick pan you ever buy. Not sure which size skillet fits your family?
