Overview

A home stove with a large standard burner is the right fit for this Spanish-style paella pan. It is made of extra-thick carbon steel in a conical shape and ships with a pamphlet of recipes and care tips.

Restaurant-grade metal in a thick pan makes it a good starter for people learning paella. It fits the oven and works on all kinds of grills. Care is a routine of drying and oiling, which is part of owning raw steel.

Who it's for

Beginning paella cooks and home cooks who want a professional-style pan and accept regular upkeep. Buyers who want a coated pan, or who feed more than a handful of people, should look at other options.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Extra-thick carbon steel
  • Works on gas, electric and induction
  • Oven and grill safe
  • Includes recipe pamphlet
Cons
  • Rusts without drying and oiling
  • Hand wash only
  • Serves only a few people

Performance notes

Carbon steel conducts heat to the whole base, and a heavy gauge resists warping on a large burner. The wide, shallow shape spreads rice in a thin layer. Rust is prevented by drying the pan and rubbing the inside with vegetable oil after each wash.
