This 15" carbon steel* pan is the ideal metal for cooking the perfect paella and has been used in Spain for decades.
The red handles are produced from steel and painted with heat resistance paint, which is a Spanish trademark. The large cooking surface allows the rice to cook evenly and to maximize flavor. The carbon steel pan also helps in developing the socarrat, caramelized rice that sticks to the bottom of the pan.
This type of pan does require seasoning and a well seasoned pan will develop a good nonstick coating to protect it from rusting.
This pan has a variety of uses and is excellent for camping. Polished steel paella pans are recommended to be used on gas stoves, any type of ovens, any type of grills and also can be used over a camp fire. Not recommended to be used on an electric or ceramic stove top.
This paella pan is authentic and made in Spain. 15" pan is ideal for up to 6 servings.
*Although carbon steel is very durable, it is prone to scratching. This paella pan will include scratches on the inner and/or outer surfaces. This will not effect cooking results.
