Review on 🍳 Victoria 12 Inch Black Cast Iron Skillet: Large Frying Pan with Helper Handle, Seasoned with Non-GMO Flaxseed Oil - Kosher Certified by Matthew Perez

This is a large and heavy pan. I always grind the factory seasonal coating and reseason new pans. Victoria pans are the best shape and finish I've seen in the low price range of cast iron. There are almost no holes on the surface. If you're worried about factory burn-in, it's easy to sand this pan down to bare metal and reseason (thin coat of Crisco or Linseed Oil, upside down in a 400-degree oven for 90 minutes). UPDATE: I FINALLY found a 12" glass lid that fits perfectly. This is a heavy 12" CONCORD glass lid (purchased from Revain). Well made and a perfect fit (last two photos). My 12" Victoria weighs 6 pounds 12 ounces. My 12" house is 7 pounds 14 ounces. So Victoria is a pound lighter. A note: 10" and 12" pans are probably rounded to metric sizes. My US 10" and 12" glass tops were a bit large. TIP: I went to my local Goodwill store with a ruler and found a Calphalon top that fit my 10" and a TFAL top that fit my 12". Only 7 dollars.
