Paella Pans

I purchased this big pan mostly for cooking hamburgers, eggs, etc... Everyday cooking on my Wolf gas cook top... I dont like cooking on stainless cause stainless doesnt get that nice layer of carbon which prevents food from sticking... This is an excellent burger frying pan... It is huge... Plenty of space around the edges to warm hamburger buns while cooking the burgers in the center... It is much lighter and easier to clean than a cast iron pan of similar size... Cast iron can also crack if dropped of if you quench it in water while it is still hot... Steel pans dont have this problem... Another thing I like about it is the high sides... It keeps the spatter and mess to a minimum... The thin steel gets hot faster than thick cast iron... The pan will warp a little when heated but this is not a problem and is common with a thin steel pan... I dont want you to think the pan is not too thin... It is tough and will last years..."..."  Read more

I just discovered Paella pans in the last 6 months or so... I now own two !... Great all purpose pans... You can use them on the cook top or in the oven... Now... I must make a comment about another review posted about the black steel paella pans... "Smells like rusted metal, once you wash it and the smell remains. I threw it away."... How sad... This person obviously never encountered something our ancestors and we would die without... STEEL... Smells like rusted metal???... Duh !!! What would you expect steel to smell like??? Aluminium oxide ?!?!... Anyway... These pans are excellent... Not cooking on "non-stick" chemicals with questionable health affects... Buy it, learn to use it... Cook on steel not plastic."..."  Read more

I love this pan! Nothing sticks to it and it is SOO easy to clean. I love that my dishwasher is no longer overfull of pans as handwashing is so quick! This pan is larger than any of my frying pans, and deeper too. I had hoped it would be a little bit deeper though as it is not very much deeper than a frying pan (only slightly). It comes with a lid though which is a huge plus for a frying pan size/shaped dish. I also like that it has 2 handles which is much easier for my to lift with. The handles rubbery covers though aren't very big and beyond the covers the handles are hot."..."  Read more

Gift for my son who was inspired by me in the love of cooking. He wanted a braising pan that would go from stovetop to oven and clear lid so he could monitor but not interrupt the cooking. He loves the pan. Thanks!"..."  Read more
