Victoria 10 Inch Cast Iron Skillet

Based on 41 comments across 3 communities
TL;DR
Owners reach for this skillet because it's genuinely cheap, often around $20, yet handles better than a Lodge thanks to a longer curved handle that gives real leverage, a noticeably smoother cooking surface, and bigger pour spouts. Many use it daily and find food releases well once it's seasoned. The main gripe is the factory seasoning, which a few people weren't happy with out of the box, but a quick re-season before first use clears that up.

I purchased the 10" skillet off of Amazon, for $17. While I really like the physical shape of the pan and the metal itself seems to be nice and even. I was not so happy with the factory seasoning.

I got a 12” Victoria cast iron skillet from Macy’s on Black Friday for 4.99$. I seasoned it a couple of times with veg oil. The first thing I cooked was a sirloin fillet in it.

It’s much lighter than I expected is actually lighter than a heavier 12.5 inch Victoria cast iron skillet I use.

I have a Le Creuset enameled set and a Victoria traditional cast iron skillet and the Le Creuset is not as nonstick as the (much cheaper) Victoria skillet.

I have a plain Victoria skillet that is less than a year old and I have never had eggs stick.

You get a longer handle with Victoria skillets, deeper walls, and bigger pour spouts.

My go-to cast iron skillets are from Victoria Cast Iron. They have better handles, smother finish, and are cheaper than the Walmart sale price.

Looks identical to my Victoria cast iron. Must be rebranded, if so it's a great skillet.

my favorite is actually a 12" Victoria skillet I have. Compared with the Lodge, the Victoria has a longer handle, larger support handle (easier to hold), and larger pouring spouts.

Skillet is a 10" Victoria cast iron skillet with long handle from Amazon. The handle and skillet are very well balanced, and the surface is quite a bit smoother than my 12" Lodge.

I like my 10” Victoria Cast Iron Skillet. Only $20.00 on Amazon. The Victoria Skillet has bigger side pore spouts and a bigger curved handle than a Lodge.

i recommend Victoria cast iron pans. I love my 12" Victoria

the Columbian made Victoria being the smoothest

An 8”(possibly 10? Honestly I just consider it the small one) Victoria cast iron skillet. From omelets to Dutch babies to lightly seasoned carrots for the sesame chicken (baked elsewhere), it’s been my go to.

I find it really easy to get seasoning to stick to my Victoria skillet because it is smoother than the ozark trail one but not milled levels of smooth.

did a first cook with a new Victoria skillet last night. I did one round of oven seasoning, for the simple reason that two of three pans had a -very- slight bit of rust inside (so slight that it disappeared with a finger rub)

I recently bought a 10 inch Victoria, took it out of the box, wished it and cooked eggs straight out of the box. It worked great.

My wife refused to use anything bigger than a #8 skillet until I gave her a 12" Victoria. The ergonomics make it easier to handle than a Lodge. It has a longer, somewhat arched handle that actually gives you leverage when you pick it up.

My daily driver use-for-nearly-everything pan is a 12 inch Victoria Cast Iron Skillet I got on Amazon for like $25.

I bought this off of Amazon and it has been just great; Victoria Cast Iron Skillet, Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Frying Pan with Long Handle, Made in Colombia, 12 Inch , it costs around 25 dollars now, I bought mine at around 18 dollars, best money spent

I've used both Lodge and Victoria 12 inch skillets and I prefer the Victoria, especially for use in the oven.

I have a 10 inch Victoria cast iron skillet that I use basically every night

I have one and I really like the long handle and big pouring spouts!

Most of my cast iron is Victoria and it works really well for me.
