Product Description

Garcima 8-Inch Carbon Steel Paella Pan, 20cm

8.125″ Tapas Size Carbon Steel Paella Pan – Made in Spain Authentic Spanish carbon steel pan crafted for traditional paella. Season before first use and lightly oil after every wash to prevent rust. Do not air-dry. Care instructions included.
Tapas serving size Perfect for serving tapas or a small paella for one. Dimensions: Top rim-to-rim: 8.125”; with handles: 11.875”; bottom: 6”
Traditional Design Not perfectly flat by design to allow proper heat expansion and flame distribution. This is normal and not a defect. May not sit fully flush on smooth glass or ceramic cooktops.
Produces Authentic Socarrat Carbon steel allows rice to gently adhere, forming the prized caramelized crust (socarrat) essential to true paella.
Versatile Cooking Performs especially well on gas stovetops, outdoor gas burners, charcoal grills, and open flame. Oven safe. The slightly curved base is traditional by design.
Durable Surface Light marks, scratches, and natural darkening (patina) are normal with carbon steel and do not affect performance. The pan develops character with use.

This pan is the perfect size for serving tapas or a petite paella for one. Its 2 handles are made of steel and painted red. The pan is made of carbon steel (aka polished steel, or acero pulido), which is ideal for paella since it conducts heat quickly. The pan is thin but quite rigid and durable, with a 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.
