Imported from Spain, these paella pans are made from high-quality 18/8 stainless steel. The traditional steel paella pans have been used by Spaniards for centuries because their shallow, sloping sides cause the rice to cook evenly and develop more intense flavors. The stainless steel quality prevents rusting and discoloration that may occur with the carbon steel pans. The pan is thin but quite rigid and durable with a hammered dimpled bottom which distributes heat evenly and quickly while also giving it a beautiful look. The pan can be used on a stovetop, oven, gas barbeque grill or open flame. For best results, it can be used over a paella burner. As the pans get larger, they grow in diameter rather than depth, which allows for more delicious so carat, which is the term used in Valencia to describe the delicious caramelized crunchy rice crust which forms the base of any good paella.
