Overview
Garcima's Pata Negra line uses an extra-thick, heavy-duty grade of carbon steel, and this sixteen inch version suits beginners and busy kitchens alike. It fits large standard burners, goes in the oven and works on all types of grills, and a pamphlet with recipes comes with it.
Thick steel stands up to repeated hard use, which is why the maker points it at restaurant kitchens and keen home cooks. The care routine is the burden: raw carbon steel rusts unless dried and oiled, and rust is removed with steel wool.
Who it's for
Beginning paella cooks and busy kitchens that want a thick pan for gas burners and grills. Owners of induction or ceramic stovetops should skip it, since the pan does not have a perfectly flat bottom.
Pros and cons
- Extra-thick heavy-duty carbon steel
- Fits oven and all types of grills
- Suits beginning paella cooks
- Pamphlet with recipes and tips
- Needs drying and oiling after washing
- Bottom not perfectly flat
- Hand wash only
Performance notes
Extra-thick carbon steel soaks up burner heat and spreads it across the pan, which suits a wide, shallow paella. Rust is the main risk: the pan has to be dried right after washing and rubbed inside with vegetable oil. The slightly uneven bottom limits contact with flat stovetops.
