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

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.

If you dont know how to handle cast iron, please watch videos on this. This isnt your typical teflon pan. If its rusting on you its because you dont know how to handle cast iron. I use this daily multiple times per day. Its made very well. Great weight for its size, I can handle it with ease, anything bigger and it would be too heavy for me personally. Long handle but always use a small fabric towel to pick it up when hot. Great cost for the good quality. Heats up perfectly for anything.

Good for Indian dosas!!

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.

Great quality and my fav pan

This pan is great I’ve made tortillas, grilled cheese sandwiches scrambled eggs, and even heated up pizza slices. This pan is lightweight but durable.

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

Heavy and perfect for indian roti chapati paratha dosa uttapam.It was exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend it.

Dosa is very crispy and even tasty

I needed a new pancake pan but this one is even better than my old one that broke and I have used it for heaps of other things too. It's a quality griddle for a great price.

Nothing to dislike. This pan is the real deal, solid iron. I have thrown out my non-stick pans. The heat distribution is excellent resulting in faster cooking times and evenly cooked food. It comes pre seasoned and can confirm it is non stick.
