Could this be the most advanced Cast Iron Skillet made? I spoke with the owner of Victoria Cast Iron

A few weeks ago I tested 2 nearly identical Victoria Signature cast iron skillets. I was very impressed with how well they worked but further to their performance, I was amazed by their design. This week, I got to speak with the third generation of the company's founder about how they made such an amazing pan. I was surprised to know that they may be the most advanced cast iron pans made.

I've purchased two Victoria skillets, two griddles, a pot, and a dutch oven. (some are marketed as Cocinaware) I prefer their longer handles and larger pour spouts compared to other cast iron brands. The new Signature line sure is tempting! Thank you for the video Jed. It's about time that someone in the North American market took the time to speak with the head of Victoria Cookware. Cheers!

I've got a BUNCH of Victoria cast iron in my wishlist. They do really good designs. I hope they start competing with Lodge for the outdoor cast iron market.

I am excited to learn that Victoria came up with a totally new recipe for cast iron that's unbreakable! It is seriously awesome. I love the precision pour spouts, the polished cooking surface, and of course, the stay-cool handles, as well as the fact that the Victoria skillet is 20% lighter in weight than most of the others. Thank you for this video!

@Cook-Culture 3 месяца назад

Glad you are excited. I would not call their iron 'unbreakable' but definitely stronger that most

@bingster-223 4 месяца назад

I thought I would have the polished version by now, but I purchased some vintage cast iron skillets and spent the money I had budgeted for the Victoria skillet. Maybe in mid February now. I don't regret it I found some great old iron skillets.

@Cook-Culture Well I finally got Signature Series skillet. My daughter got me the 12" soft version for my birthday lol. I was not expecting this. It's gorgeous. I'm looking forward to cooking with it.

Thanks Jed for the informative video on the Victoria Signature Series! Very interesting metal recipe for this cookware, on their website they show a forklift picking up a pallet of Victoria cast iron, and driving it up onto a skillet placed on the ground without breaking it, this Spherrous is some incredibly strong metal for cookware! Signature line is very unique and interesting. Victoria is my favorite brand with well thought out features, I have a 12"skillet, 10" skillet, and 6qt. Dutch oven, the piece that lid is also a 10" grill skillet, all are outstanding performers, workmanship is also very high. Thanks again Jed for the video!

Interesting. The handle design is nice, but the magnesium they use in the iron allows it to flow better into the handle portion of the mold. Which in turn allows them to use a finer design overall. Have you ever seen a cast iron pan with such sharp edges or angles? Nope! Not unless it's been machined. Overall the amount of material in the neck of the handle appears to be about the same as the older pan, so overall the strength by the time they add the brass piece is increased because the load is spread over a larger area. I'm not sure if I'm in love with the esthetics, but it's functionally incredible! 😛

Thank you for presenting this pan and the company, Victoria, to your viewers. I have been searching for a company that makes a large size comal for making Sonoran style tortillas. I am thrilled to discover that Victoria makes a fantastic 15" cast iron comal. Thank you Jed.

I have the 10 inch signature series and a 12 inch standard pan . The first time I used the signature pan was at Thanksgiving and I cooked corn bread in it, it literally dropped right out. I haven't used the 12 inch yet but I really like the longer handle and pour spouts. I'm going to smooth it out first then I will cook something in it

They will have a lid in the future.

I have a Victoria pan and it has gotten smoother and better over the years. Lodge says they have a proprietary blend for their thinner, lighter Blacklock line. Are they adding magnesium as well?

@FredrikGranlundkayaker 4 месяца назад

Really cool pan! I'm intrigued - and I can buy them from a Swedish webshop as well. I actually bought my 30cm Victoria skillet from them. Perfect for making Spaghetti all'assassina.

I bought a flat piece of metal chain scrubber when I got into cast iron cooking and I thought I learned about the flat scrubber from one of your videos (though I could be wrong about where I learned about it). In any case, I love my chain scrubber and I wonder if you’ve compared them. I can see why the one you are using might be easier to use because you can hold it in your hand in a more traditional way but I probably won’t switch.

@Cook-Culture 3 месяца назад

Hi, thanks for the comment. The main difference is size. I like small rings and some people like large rings!

@Prxyshj 4 месяца назад

Do you like it more than your Field or Stargazer skillets? What is your personal ranking opinion? All good skillets of course; just asking a personal opinion. Thanks!

@Cook-Culture 4 месяца назад

So hard to say. It compares closer to a SG, but it's a bit different altogether. I don't think I could choose between the 3 but I would use them all in different circumstances.

@Splagnate 4 месяца назад

Something to make a note of as to why other companies don’t add magnesium is when it’s melted down it’s very volatile.

@Cook-Culture 4 месяца назад

If you tap one with a wooden spoon it has a different tone than regular cast iron. It’s a lower tone.

@seechangenyc280 4 месяца назад

I always trust your recs! And thank you for this video. It's so interesting to hear from the makers. It often leads me to open my wallet (as do you). But....this skillet looks awfully fussy and over-designed. I appreciate the attention to detail, workmanship, innovation, passion. I'm more of sucker for a very simple, minimal aesthetic. In the end, I just want the darm thing to make a good meal. Do I need a high end cast iron skillet? So far, I've resisted. My Lodge does the job with gusto. I was intrigued by your review of the classic Victoria because the longer handle and larger pour spouts spoke to me. Might have to give it a whirl or you'll convince me, soon, to splurge...Cheers and again, thank you.

@peterl.104 4 месяца назад

I really like my Stargazer and this channel convinced me the most to get that particular premium one but I only took the plunge because a seller on Amazon didn’t update his price and I got it cheap. I should’ve bought a few more before he caught it. I don’t know if I would’ve paid full price unless I was treating myself for my birthday or some other special occasion since I have been testing out carbon steel pans that gave me a better experience than Lodge at a lighter weight.

@seechangenyc280 4 месяца назад

@@peterl.104Lucky you, on the price! Do you prefer cast iron or carbon steel?

@peterl.104 4 месяца назад

@@seechangenyc280 I’m starting to conclude that both perform the same and I’ve been switching back and forth to compare for months. My recommendation on which to get depends on what you plan to cook. My thick carbon steel and Stargazer are very comparable in performance and both are smooth and close enough in weight. I don’t see why I would need both of the same size and both handle steaks and chicken thighs very well. If premium cast iron is too expensive, get a quality, thick carbon steel pan. What I don’t have is a light weight frying pan with high walls (basically a wok so my food stops spilling over) for stir frying and carbon steel has a huge weight advantage since it can be made much thinner. For stir frying, I don’t need a thick pan for more even heating and heat retention.

@Cook-Culture 4 месяца назад

Thanks! Take a look around for some vintage. You may be surprised what you can find. Also, for simplicity, Field is a great choice.

@danielcielmaee3642 Месяц назад

Does the 20% removed affect thermal retentivity?

@Cook-Culture Месяц назад

Yes. But it's still excellent

@3GC 3 месяца назад

With the new formula in play -- where would you position this "cast iron" variation in thermal responsiveness when compared with both the old formula AND/or with straight carbon steel using INDUCTION. Speed of attaining a quickly occurring higher or lower heat, as well as holding a level (cycled) temp on INDUCTION seems to belong to Carbon Steel -- but might your tech changes change that game?

@Cook-Culture 3 месяца назад

Hi, I find the responsiveness to be similar to regular cast iron
