Product Description
Our History
Victoria was founded in 1939. We are a three-generation family business located in Medellín, Colombia. The founder Raúl Mejía was 16 years old when he decided to start a small business in the foundry industry. He crafted his first products: metallic toy soldiers and decorative crosses. After perfecting the art of casting, Raúl’s passion for cooking and fresh foods lead him to create Victoria Cast Iron Cookware.

"...I hope this will last years because it was so reasonably priced!" Read more
"...Good, inexpensive hand powered grinder." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the manual food mill grinder. They mention that some parts don't fit as well as they would hope, the high hopper has a loose fit, and the fit and finish needs work. The parts are flimsy and they don' t fit well together. The turning handle on the mill would not screw down snugly, and it required a little hand fitting to work. It's difficult to get the grinder tight enough where it doesn't move during use. Customers are disappointed that it didn't fits their kitchen counters and the locking system would not fit any of their cutting boards.

1). When assembling the mill, screw the grinding plates as tightly together as possible. Otherwise the dough will not be fine or smooth enough. If too much play still remains between the plates, use a half-inch-diameter steel O-ring (not included) as a brace to keep the plates pressed tightly together.
2). Although the mill comes with a fairly large attachable hopper, I actually believe it best not to use it for tortilla dough. Feed only a few tablespoons of rinsed nixtamalized corn into the mill at a time, dribbling in just a bit of water as you grind. You want to keep an eye on the process, and the mill's main assembly includes a feeding area that's the right size for this. Watch and monitor the corn as it moves down and along the large screw-shaped auger that guides the corn to the grinding plates.
3). For masa that's fine enough, you'll probably need to grind it twice and possibly three times-- again, keeping the plates tightly together, and again, feeding in just a couple spoonfuls at a time. On the second grind you'll probably have to use a wooden spoon handle to occasionally coax the dough to the auger. A few drops of water will help, but not too much! Masa that's wet and sticky won't work.
The process obviously requires some labor, and the final consistency will almost certainly be somewhat coarser than the silky-smooth texture you can achieve with the best masa harina. When pressed, the tortillas will have a more rustic, pebbly texture, but they will puff up on the griddle, and they will be tender. And if you're wondering if freshly ground masa is dramatically superior to dough made from reconstituted masa harina, the answer is YES.
I do wish the plates could come a little further apart but the end product was pretty perfect!
Going slowly made the size more uniform.
We cracked about 2 gallons in less than an hour.
We started with navy beans to clean any burs. Never saw a shaving.
With all the grinding, the pieces that hold the plates loosened a little but tightened back up fine.
I hope this will last years because it was so reasonably priced!
The item description clearly states:
✔️Capacity of adjustment. The clamp is easily adjustable to most tables and boards 1/2” to 2” thick. Comes with a protective non-slip rubber, protects your surfaces and prevents the grain grinder from slipping in heavy work
If the description had clearly indicated the maximum opening of the clamp was 1.75", I never would have purchased it. It doesn't even come close to 2" as described.
Well, I have a commercial wood block countertop made by Michigan Maple Block Co. that measures 96" long x48" wide x1.75" thick-- as you can see in the photo. The clamp mechanism barely opens to a couple of millimeters shy of 1.75" because the upper part of the clamp (which contacts the top surface of the cutting board) has a slight lip -- as you can see in the other photo -- and when the essential rubber protector is used to prevent damage to the countertop, it reduces the opening to significantly less than 1.75". Even if I could get the clamp over the countertop without the rubber base, it would definitely mar my countertop, which is why the rubber base cover was an important consideration compared to similar items.
Additionally, the bottom of the hopper was slightly bent. I'm sure I could have easily restored its shape with a pair of pliers, so this is a minor QC issue. The clamp opening dimension is not a minor issue.
Although this grinder is very highly rated, and I am sure works quite well for those with an appropriate suface on which to mount the grinder, apparenly few purchasers have a professional wood block countertop that is an industry-standard 1.75". I have no other surface in my kitchen -- all other countertops are imported granite with insufficient space underneath for a clamp -- or anywhere else in my home, so it's being returned.
