Victoria Cast Iron Round Comal Skillet

The Victoria comal features a low-profile, flat design specifically engineered for high-heat, dry-cooking tasks like toasting tortillas or searing fajitas. Unlike a deep skillet, its shallow shape allows for easy flipping and quick access to food.

While the comal comes pre-seasoned with flaxseed oil, it is best to avoid highly acidic foods until you have built up a more robust layer of seasoning through regular use. Acidic ingredients can strip the seasoning and potentially impart a metallic taste to your food.

This model is designed for gas and electric stoves. It is not recommended for induction cooktops, as the base may not be perfectly flat or compatible with induction technology.

Clean the comal by hand using warm water and a soft brush or sponge. Avoid soaking it or using a dishwasher, and always dry it thoroughly on the stovetop before applying a very light coat of oil to prevent rust.

The 19-pound weight is substantial, which is a hallmark of high-quality cast iron that provides excellent heat retention. While it is heavy, the sturdy handles are designed to provide a secure grip for moving the pan between your stovetop and counter.
