--Kai Chan, Yorktown Heights, NY

"The paella was delicious and the center of attraction! Not a grain of rice was left over...even the socarrat or "pegao" as we refer to in Puerto Rico, was devoured!"




--Cristina Gonzalez

"My two pans functioned perfectly the first time. I did a marisco and a chicken and veal sausage paella for about 45 people...Thanks for the great service."
--Marion J. Makarewicz, Hannibal, MO

--Pat Serafine, Austin, TX

--Jackie Luengas-Alwafai, Aliso Viejo, California

"I've never had a more pleasant internet ordering experience. I received the pan today!! I had many paellas in Spain and can't wait to give it a whirl."
--Barbara Johnson, Merion, PA

"I followed your seafood paella recipe and my guests were raving about how good it was. The pan definitely makes a difference both on the stove and on the table. It's extremely festive...I will be keeping the second pan. It will be a great Christmas present for one of the raving guests..."
--Gregory Gotowchikov, Reston, VA

"I just want to thank you for helping make the food portion of Quinby and Jordan's wedding a huge success! Everything turned out beautifully yesterday!"

--John Cochrane, Tustin, CA

"I'm excited to own an authentic Spanish paella pan...Thanks for your quick response. I have and will recommend your site to others."
--Michael McEachren, Burleson, TX

"We ordered a carbon steel pan from you last year and my husband loves cooking with it."
--Lee Webb, Knoxville, TN

"I just wanted to drop you a note to say THANKS!!! for all your help in getting our 31 inch pan and burner here in time for our celebration. I followed your recipe to the letter—a first for me—and the paella turned out as perfectly as it could be. We entertained thirty adults for a birthday party and served the paella as the focus, but included 15 liters of your sangria recipe, a couple of pork shoulder roasts and a very large Caesar salad. The compliments are still coming in. Once again, thank you for your help."
--Steve Jameson, Santa Rosa, CA

"I did receive the paella pan in plenty of time to give to my friend....and he LOVED it! Thank you so much. I've told all my friends about your website! Muchas gracias."
--Gretchen Sunderman, State College, PA

"I received the pan and am delighted with it. I had tried a recipe from "The Joy of Cooking" and liked it. But it paled in comparison to the paella recipe you provided with the pan and, besides that, it was so much fun to do."
--Mary Harrison, Springfield, MO

"...I adore my paella pan. I made paella for our book club because our book that month was The Sun Also Rises and I wanted to keep in the Spanish mood with the food. I'm not the best at meal timing, so our 10 guests didn't eat until 10 p.m. but they raved about the paella. And I simply explained that in Spain, they often eat so late. It was a huge hit, and I owe it all to you!"
--Dawn McMullan, Dallas, TX

"Just got my pan in the mail today--in time for my party. Thanks so much, it's GREAT, and a good price too. "
--Tanya Zumach, Portland, OR

"My paella pan arrived today, hooray, and is beautiful! It also fits in my oven, a plus. Thank you for your help. "
--Nancy Hemenway, Juneau, Alaska

"Read about you in the NWA in-flight magazine. Received my pan the other day. Used it for the first time tonight on the fire pit in the back yard. Delicious!"




--Brett Linder

"Thank you! I have one of the 26" carbon steel pans I got from you years ago...but now our friends are beginning to expect multiple "flavors" of paella. I was thrilled to find that you are still our there supplying these fine pans!"
--Mark Wayda, Columbus, OH

"So here I was, Sunday afternoon, suddenly needing to make a seafood paella and I couldn't find your brochure ANYWHERE!! Awful. So I called you and you were out, and then I REALLY panicked, and then I realized WAIT!!!! There's a WEBSITE! So I just printed out the recipe. You've saved my life, you fabulous cook."
--Paella Panic on the Upper West Side

"I just wanted to thank you for the 22" pan. Cooking over the Weber was perfect and the paella was terrific (although I didn't quite achieve the soccarat). I actually got applause for the meal - first time that has happened - even though for last year's meal I spent over 3 hours in the kitchen making lobster thermadore! Thanks again, I just might be back to you soon for another pan that fits on the stove!"
--Steve Wolfe, CT

"Whatever hopes I had had about being able to blame the pan for my possible paella recipe failure were dashed by the arrival of your pan. Wow! That's the kind of pan that makes you realize why you keep your Farberware hidden in the cupboards. Thanks. That's a good-lookin' pan."
--Robert Frenchu, Carson City, NV

"I received my order in good time and my wife loved the paella pan I got her for Christmas. She's been wanting one for a while now (only recently communicated to me) and said the one I got from your store (the stainless steel deluxe one) was heads above anything she has seen in local stores. I can't wait for her to try it out. Thanks again for making it so easy."
--Nick Knight, Phoenix, AZ

"What a delightful surprise to open my gifts on Christmas morning and find one of your 22-inch paella pans. Amazing that my husband had noticed my interest in a paella pan, my daughter had located you on the Internet, and within four days of a phone call, the truck had delivered it to our door--on Friday before Christmas, no less! He also mentioned how pleasant it was to talk to you on the phone! Thank you! Muchas gracias!"
--Anonymous email, December, 2000

"Thanks so much for getting us our pan so quickly...we christened it on the Weber grill and enjoyed a WONDERFUL chorizo paella! Have a happy and prosperous holiday season."
--Keith Bakos

"Everything turned out wonderful and our friends were most favorably impressed with the big pan and the paella. The young guy in the background is married to a girl from Madrid, so the pressure was on."




--Ed Nicholson

"Wonderful service as before. You all are the best."
--Judy Z.

"Just wanted to let you know that my pan arrived safely yesterday. I haven't had a chance to cook with it yet, but I'm very impressed with the quality. Thanks for the quick shipment."
--Mike Hamm

"I thought you might enjoy seeing pictures of our first paella. We did a seafood paella with my Cuban grandmother's basic recipe. The seafood ingredients were scallops, shrimp, and lobster. Thanks for getting us the pan so quickly!"




--Norm Conley

"You win the prize! I ordered it Friday night and it arrived Sunday AM. Unbelievable! and my wife loved it. Thanks."
--David Crane, Boston, MA

"Just wanted you to know the pan came, we made the paella from the enclosed recipes and it was a huge success! We had to use the Weber grill, which made me very nervous, but it all unfolded exactly as it was supposed to...thanks! Can't wait to do it again."
--Carol Woolworth

"Thank you so much!! The pan was received on Thursday. I used it for a paella party on Saturday. We had a fabulous Seafood Paella, White Sangria, and a great Avocado Salad, BUT the pan stole the show. We literally had people taking pictures!!! They were so impressed that I'm sure you will get more orders soon. Thanks again for a true show stopper."
--Sarah Bass

"Thank you so much for providing a difficult to find product at such great prices. My friend is Spanish, and she was very pleased to see when the pan arrived yesterday that it was made in Valencia, her father's birthplace. When I called her tonight to see if it had arrived and was what she wanted, she was so elated and excited that it really made my day, too. Again, thank you so very much!!!"
