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
- Extra-thick carbon steel
- Works on gas, electric and induction
- Oven and grill safe
- Includes recipe pamphlet
- Rusts without drying and oiling
- Hand wash only

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.
