Garcima 20-Inch Pata Negra Paella Pan

Specially designed for heavy use, such as in a restaurant or commercial kitchen, this double-thick steel pan is crafted with care in Spain. The extra-thick metal prevents warping and is perfect for use over an open fire. Made of carbon steel (also known as polished steel or Acer pulido), the pan is ideal for paella as it conducts heat quickly and evenly.

The pan features a hammered, dimpled bottom and steel handles painted black. Carbon steel is the traditional material for paella, and some devotees believe it enhances the flavor. As with any raw steel pan, it requires some care: the user must dry the pan immediately after washing and then rub the interior with a small amount of vegetable oil to prevent rusting. If the pan does rust, a few passes with steel wool will remove it.

These solid steel, restaurant-grade pans offer superior craftsmanship and construction. Able to accommodate approximately 14 servings, they are not suitable for the dishwasher and should be hand-washed. Crafted with the utmost care in Spain, these double-thickness pans are built to withstand heavy use in a commercial kitchen or similar setting.
