60" Carbon Steel Paella Pan (150 cm)
We love this spectacularly huge pan, which makes enough paella to feed a small village. It comes with its own extra-long-handled spatula for cooking and a forged steel tripod for cooking the paella over a fire. The tripod has a clever system of hinges on the legs to make it fold up for storage. If you're interested in this magnificent pan, please contact us for more information.
The 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 flavor. As with any raw 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 takes it right off.
We include an informative pamphlet with each pan, which contains two recipes, our tips for perfect paella, and care instructions.
