Favorite tool in the kitchen!

Review by Caryn W. on 12 July 2019
The first time I cooked in it, the food stuck a little to the pan as they said it would and I thought here we go...four hours of scrubbing to clean it afterwards. But nope. This pan is one of the easiest to clean in my house. You must dry it straight afterwards and give it a light oil with whatever you have on hand. But the process still takes 2 minutes all in all til it’s back in the cupboard. The food tastes better when cooked in it and it gives a balanced even sizzle to the whole pan...including your hand if you try pick it up without a hot hand so buy a pair when you are getting this pan😂 the 30cm one is brilliant for a family of four. I think I would go to war with mine Read more

Review by Val L. on 16 July 2020, 3 months after purchase
I have tried non-stick (or not), copper (it's got the look but I don't think I have the touch) and iron (very nice), but I keep coming back to cast iron. I am really glad I bought the Victoria brand. Solid, well-made, available lids. Tall sides which are almost completely horizontal do not take away from cooking surface. A couple extra rounds of seasoning before first use and decent care for a little over 2 months, and already the pan has developed non-stick performance pretty much on par with special coatings, and will only improve with use. Plus the durability of a tank and the versatility of duct tape, all at a great price. Hardly notice the few extra minutes of washing, drying and oiling after use that it takes to keep this pan in tip-top shape. I have the 20cm and 30cm.
20cm: A bit of a rustic look to it with small casting imperfections. Inside depth 5cm, which is very deep for this size. Light enough for one-handed operation. Great for those odd jobs where you don't need to fire up a large hob or if you are cooking for 1 or 2 people; also try bread and Dutch babies.
Victoria silicone grip: Size "small" covers whole handle
30cm: Smooth surfaces with no visible casting imperfections. Inside depth 5cm. Cooking for a large group or large cuts (e.g. whole fish).
Victoria silicone grip: Size "large" covers whole handle Read more

I expected a big difference from my thin old aluminium non-stick pan, and this one delivers. Even heat, even simple things like frying eggs are noticeably better than before. I am a convert to cast iron!

I had been looking for a cast iron skillet for some time and was delighted to see that Yuppiechef had brought in a range from Victoria. I have now used it a number of times and love it. This is the perfect skillet for what I intend cooking. A solid piece of cookware. Highly recommend it.

Magic

Review by Nico L. on 6 July 2020, 19 days after purchase
I've always wanted a proper heavy skillet, but in the back of my mind I thought people on TV were exaggerating about the wonders of a skillet. Now I know they were using euphemisms!
It is heavy and the handle gets very hot (should've seen the silicone handle sleevamajig was sold separately)! It comes well seasoned and ready for use.
Already looking for my next cast iron cookware! Read more

Review by Clayton J. on 8 February 2022, 12 days after purchase
I was a bit skeptical at first but I am so happy that I went ahead and purchased this product.
It cooks really well and heats up relatively quickly as well, the initial seasoning on the pan was also done very well.
I've been using it every day since receiving it and my steaks are coming out brilliantly! Maybe a bit small when cooking for multiple people, so if purchasing for a family then look at a bigger size but if you are cooking for one, maybe even two, it is absolutely perfect!
Would definitely recommend this! Read more

Review by Nicky Abdinor on 15 September 2019, 1 month after purchase
I had excellent customer service from V&A Waterfront Yuppiechef (wish I asked for her name) who gave us such great advice about this pan and caring for it. We have now used it a few times and the steaks and sauces have been exceptional - we might never need to go to a steak house! Remember never to use olive oil on it. As it retains heat really well, it's not necessary to cook on a high heat throughout. Read more

Victoria cast iron wins our hearts
Item reviewed: 30cm
Review by Thea B. on 9 June 2020, 29 days after purchase
The fact that this product is already seasoned was a huge bonus for us. We also gave it a season after the first use and this was not needed again. We love our cast iron products and experience the cast iron quality much better in comparison to the others we already have.

A beautiful non-stick skillet

Enjoy my cast iron skillet. It is heavy, yes, but makes my food so flavourful, and it is a non-stick pan as well. Now I am a cast iron fan.

Nothing like good cast iron
Item reviewed: 30cm
Review by TImothy M. on 25 January 2021, over 6 months months after purchase
I have owned this skillet for a year now, cooking on it every single day. It is important to do your research before getting into cast iron, it most certainly will not work for everyone but if you are willing to give this skillet that extra bit of attention and care it will pay off in the cooking experience. When properly seasoned, this skillet will cook almost anything without sticking from eggs (whole or scrambled) to omelettes and potatoes, and it is especially great for meat. The skillet is also excellent if you like making thick crust pizza or bread! I can't tell any difference in performance between Victoria and a brand such as Lodge which I have used in the past, except for the Victoria being less expensive and, in my opinion, a better deal.

Best

Review by Pablo H. on 9 April 2021
We needed to equip our kitchen in a hurry and we got 3 skillets from 3 different brands. One year later, the difference is evident. Only the Victoria one has a beautiful deep black coating (seasoning). We use the skillets every day, but the Victoria is my favourite, easy to clean, nothing sticks. Even delicate fried fish works well. You need to get used to it, but the results are superior. Now we will replace our ”non-stick” wok with a Victoria. Read more

THE Hottest little pan I own
Item reviewed: 16cm
Review by Hazel C. on 24 July 2021, 3 days after purchase
The cutest little pan that after using it turns out that it can sear at low heat. Mine was non-stick from the start and after washing I just smeared it with oil again.
It also fits inside my gas braai with the lid closed. I have pans made by most of the famous brands but this one is the hottest. It's brilliant, love it.
I would recommend this product to a friend.
Love it

Review by Hope B. on 12 September 2021, over 6 months months after purchase
Love my pan! I have used it almost everyday since the day I bought it. Absolutely love it and how versatile it is. I have used it on my stove, in the oven and on the braai too! Love that it is so hardcore.
The seasoning was a bit painful at first but once I got the hang of it, it became part of my cleaning routine and now it doesn't even feel like an extra task. SO worth it!
I would recommend this product to a friend.
Excellent!

Review by Tara N. on 27 September 2021, 13 days after purchase
I bought this pan for my partner, who is a very serious cook. He’s been researching cast iron skillets for a long time and I was really nervous about committing to one, but I’m so glad I did. It has been a dream to cook with, nothing sticks, the pre seasoning is good, and it has been nothing but wonderful so far.

Review by Martin M. on 22 January 2022, 13 days after purchase
The very best quality cast-iron. The pre-seasoning is good, but I seasoned it myself after washing/drying it the first time, a light coating of sunflower oil and an hour in the oven at 210°C. Now it's better than Teflon and fries an egg to perfection. Do yourself a favour and buy (at least) one of these.

Wow, I feel like a chef using this skillet. I have had it for 2 weeks and I have used it most days. Everything seems to taste more delicious. And the cleaning and seasoning is really no problem. A little care and this baby is going to give back for many years I can tell. I want another one now in a bigger size and want to toss all my other pans. Never going to buy a "non-stick" pan again. I also got the grill-pan and love that too. Read more

Victoria cast iron the best!
Item reviewed: 30cm
Review by Juan H. on 24 April 2022, over 6 months months after purchase
What makes this skillet remarkable is that you can use it on any heating surface, including fire!
The even distribution of heat makes huge difference to your cooking. I use coconut oil for both cooking and seasoning and works very well.
This will be the only skillet you ever need, with a lifetime warranty for peace of mind!
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Best cast iron pan bought!
Item reviewed: 16cm
Review by Marita Palazzo on 10 April 2024, 15 days after purchase
Love the pre-seasoned cast iron pans — this size and the large. This size seemed small at first but 2 eggs fit perfectly inside and it's great for warming up small amounts of food.
Food sticks a bit at first but loosens up with a little water on the hob for a minute or two. I feel it will only improve with use!
I would recommend this product to a friend.
Not the easiest frying pan to use
Item reviewed: 20cm
Review by Joash N. on 25 November 2019, 1 month after purchase
I was really excited to own my very first cast iron skillet, but every time I've used it, I've had less than impressive results.
One of the reviews here said it's the best pan to fry eggs in, I love eggs - fried, scrambled, any which way they can be done. I have not managed to cook one good egg in this pan!
It's mostly because temperature control is really difficult, the pan either gets way too hot, and then everything tastes burnt, or the pan is not hot enough and things aren't cooked properly (i.e. flaccid eggs).
My last hope for this fry pan is a cast iron skillet cookie, but I'm probably reaching for the stars on that one too... Read more
