Pata Negra is a professional quality paella pan made from an extra-thick and heavy-duty grade of carbon steel (aka polished steel, or acero pulido). It's a good choice for restaurant kitchens, or for home cooks who expect to give their pan a good workout. As with any carbon steel pans, these pans requires a bit of care: you must dry the pan right after washing it and then rub the inside with a little vegetable oil to prevent rusting.
We include an informative pamphlet with each pan, which contains two recipes, our tips for perfect paella, and care instructions.
