Overview
Cooking rice dishes for a crowd is the job of this Garcima paella pan, made from stainless steel with the classic dimpled bottom and gold handles. It is sloped at the sides and spans two burners, and a pamphlet is included.
Low upkeep is the reason to look at it: no seasoning, no special cleaning and a shine that looks good hanging from a pot rack. The limits come from the thin single-ply metal, which suits rice but warms fast and overheats if left over a flame with nothing in it.
Who it's for
Households and gatherings that cook rice dishes for six or more, and cooks who would rather wash a pan than season it. Buyers who want a heavy pan for searing, or who use an induction range, will be better served elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- No seasoning needed
- Spans two standard burners
- Mirror-bright stainless finish
- Classic dimpled bottom
- Thin single-ply metal
- Overheats when empty over flame
- Induction not listed
Performance notes
Thin single-ply stainless heats quickly but has little mass to even out hot spots, so it is best used with food and liquid in it. The dimpled bottom adds rigidity. Rice dishes cook well in it, while hard searing falls outside its design.
