Carbon Steel Paella Pan, 15-Inch

The paella pan, which is made of carbon steel (also known as polished steel or acero pulido), is the ideal choice for cooking paella as it conducts heat quickly and evenly. This authentic pan, crafted in Spain, features a thin yet rigid and durable construction, with a hammered dimpled bottom and steel handles painted in red.

Carbon steel is the traditional material used for paella pans, and some enthusiasts believe it enhances the flavor of the dish. However, this type of raw steel pan requires some special care. After washing, it is crucial to dry the pan immediately and then rub the interior with a small amount of vegetable oil to prevent rusting. Should any rust develop, a few passes with steel wool can easily remove it.

The pan is capable of being used on a gas or charcoal grill, on the stovetop, or in the oven, making it a versatile cooking tool. Its carbon steel composition ensures durability and efficient heat conduction.

Accompanying the paella pan is an informative pamphlet that includes two recipes, providing guidance for the user to create authentic paella dishes.

This paella pan is designed to serve 3 to 5 people, making it a suitable choice for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. The combination of its traditional Spanish craftsmanship, superior heat conductivity, and easy maintenance makes this pan an excellent investment for any home chef or paella enthusiast.
