Victoria 10.5-Inch Cast Iron Comal Griddle Pan with a Long Handle, Preseasoned with Flaxseed Oil, Made in Colombia

Perfect size to make crepes, to fry eggs and make a stove top frittata. Easy to clean and store

In general, I am a fan of Victoria cast iron, as I think they are an excellent value and well made. This comal (10.5" version) is no exception. It does come pre-seasoned right out of the box, so you can wipe it down and start using it. Mine arrived in perfect condition, with a smooth, flat surface and decent seasoning. It's a nice looking pan. And yes, it's heavy. As with most cast iron, it takes a few minutes to come up to cooking temperature. It heats evenly and holds the heat very well. So far I've used it to char tomatillos, peppers, tomatoes and onions, as well as making a bunch of tortillas. Once up to temperature, it's perfectly non stick. The size is perfect for me - not too big and clumsy, but big enough to cook what I need without getting another pan on the stove. It fits on the largest burner on my stove as if it was made to go there. Cleanup is super easy. Be sure to dry it thoroughly and/or heat it back up for a bit on the stove to be sure it's completely dry. Overall, I think this is a great piece of cookware, and is quickly becoming one of my favorite pans.

I love this pan! The 10.5" cast iron griddle pan is perfect for two. 1. Always heat up the pan and WAIT before cooking on it. 2. Pour about 1 tsp. of grape seed oil over it, then bring the heat down to MEDIUM before cooking anything on it. Warning: Don't plan on cooking anything on high heat or you'll get bad results. Result: My calm technique has yielded perfectly fried eggs, roasted chili peppers, and wonderfully baked tortillas due to the cast iron's remarkable sustained heat!. 3. To clean: brush away any oily remnants in warm soapy water then dry immediately with a soft cloth, and, if you like, rub a drop of oil on pan's surface with a paper towel. Final note: this cast-iron pan with low sides is good for pizza and fits inside my large Breville oven. Reasonably priced and will serve you many happy cooking and eating times.

Good for Indian dosas!!

Cleaned and seasoned it after it arrived. It appears smoother than current Lodge cast iron but it’s not a smooth surface. That’s not a bad thing. It takes seasoning well and is non-stick after a few uses. Used almost daily and definitely keeps getting better . Cleans up usually with just a paper towel and is ready to use again. Just in case you don’t know it’s not dishwasher safe and will rust without proper care. Just like all cast iron cookware as well as carbon steel cookware. Get aluminum or stainless steel if you don’t want a chance of rust forming in or on the cookware.

I bought this largely for crepes, and it worked perfectly. I've used the Lodge version before, and I agonized over whether to purchase Lodge or Victoria griddle. I ended up going with Victoria largely due to the longer handles. Although I was worried about the rim not being as prominent as the Lodge, I actually found it easier to spread the crepe batter around with the Victoria. It is also a versatile pan for other pancakes, tortillas, grilled cheese, fried eggs, etc. I think this may even end up being my most used pan, and think everyone should have one, alongside the more common skillets. I am slightly concerned about flaxseed being used for pre-seasoning, considering it is a ill-advised fad and is prone to flaking. Vegetable oil is by and large the tried and true seasoning oil, and health concerns are vastly dramatized, ESPECIALLY when it is used for seasoning when only a very marginal amount will be consumed. I decided not to strip the seasoning out of curiosity, and will update the review if I experience any flaking. So far, the pre-seasoning was impressively nonstick, and feels nearly perfect now with just two sessions of at-home oven seasoning.

I have many pans. This one easily matches or excels brands like de buyer and lodge. It’s perfect size for a proper crepe. Relatively light weight for cast iron. I can handle it easily with 1 hand. I have made over 100 crepes and not one has stuck to the pan. I have also cooked many arabic pitas in it with great success. The pan heats up really quickly. This pan will not rust more or less than other cast iron pans. If you wash it using water make sure you are quick and to immediately soak every single water drop when you are done. Otherwise it will rust. If your pan rusted, it’s your fault. But there are ways to remove the rust, you can google it. That’s how I learnt in the past too. I bought the silicone handle for this pan but do not recommend it. It’s a bit too big and if you cook for a while the heat goes through it. Instead I now use a kitchen towel that I wrap around the handle and that gives me a better grip plus I can rotate the towel around if it gets too hot. Can’t do that with the silicone handle. Also the handle is half the price of the pan, totally not justified. Again, great pan. I will use it for the rest of my life.

Great cast iron Pan. Use it to make tortillas and crepes. Been great.

Good quality and perfect size to my need. I am liking it.
