Garcima 32-Inch Carbon Steel Paella Pan 80cm

The La Paella Garcima 32-Inch Carbon Steel Paella Pan Serves 20 to 40 people. This 32-inch (80 cm) pan is made of carbon steel (aka polished steel or Acero Pulido) which is ideal for paella since it conducts heat quickly and evenly. The pan is thin but quite rigid and durable with a hammered dimpled bottom. Carbon steel is the traditional material for paella and some paella devotees feel that it enhances the flavor. As with any carbon steel pan it requires some care you must dry the pan right after washing it and then rub the inside with a little vegetable oil to prevent rusting. If the pan does rust a few passes with steel wool take it right off. It comes with an informative pamphlet with two detailed recipes tips for perfect paella and pan care instructions.
