Carbon Steel Paella Pan, 20cm

The perfect size paella pan for serving tapas or a petite paella for one person is this pan. Its two handles are made of steel and painted red. Crafted from carbon steel (also known as polished steel or acero pulido), the pan is ideal for paella as it conducts heat quickly. Despite its thin construction, the pan is quite rigid and durable, with a dimpled bottom. Carbon steel is the traditional material used for paella, and some enthusiasts believe it enhances the flavor. However, like any raw steel pan, it requires some care. After washing, the pan must be dried immediately and the interior lightly rubbed with vegetable oil to prevent rusting. If rust does occur, a few passes with steel wool will remove it.

This authentic paella pan is made in Spain and includes an informative pamphlet with two recipes. It can be used on a gas or charcoal grill, on the stovetop, or in the oven. The carbon steel construction ensures durability and excellent heat conduction. To maintain the pan, it must be dried right after washing and then lightly coated with vegetable oil to prevent rusting.
