Overview
A cook making a petite paella for one, or serving tapas, gets this Garcima pan in thin but rigid carbon steel with a hammered, dimpled bottom. Two red-painted steel handles flank the pan, and it fits over a small burner.
Quick, even heat makes carbon steel the traditional paella material, and the small size suits a single serving. As with any raw steel pan, it needs care to avoid rust. Induction cooktops are not among the listed compatibilities.
Who it's for
Home cooks who want a traditional paella pan in carbon steel, sized for one person or a few bites. Anyone who cooks on induction, or who will not dry and oil a raw steel pan, should choose a different pan.
Pros and cons
- Traditional carbon steel material
- Heats quickly and evenly
- Hammered dimpled bottom
- Two sturdy steel handles
- Rusts without drying and oiling
- Induction not listed
- Small, single-serving size
Performance notes
Thin carbon steel conducts heat fast, so the pan responds quickly to the burner and spreads heat across its width. The hammered, dimpled bottom adds rigidity. Raw steel rusts if left wet, so the pan is dried right after washing and rubbed with a little vegetable oil.
