Its carbon steel body offers excellent heat conduction and durability, featuring a traditional hammered bottom and a slightly convex shape. Suitable for stovetop, grill, and oven use (excluding induction), it comes with a care manual and exclusive recipe to perfect your paella experience. ## Description This 16 inch pan serves 4 to 6 people. A good middle-sized pan that fits well over one large stovetop burner or straddles two burners that are closely spaced. The pan is made of carbon steel (aka polished steel, or acero pulido), which is ideal for paella since it conducts heat quickly and evenly. The handles are made of steel and painted red. The pan is thin but quite rigid and durable, with a hammered dimpled bottom. Carbon steel is the traditional material for paella, and some paella devotees feel that it enhances flavor. Review: Great authentic pan like I grew up with in Spain. - I am originally from Valencia Spain where paella originates. This is just like the pan my grandmother had. A real paella pan, such as this one, must be seasoned before using and after each time you use it, wash with a sponge and warm soapy water. You must hand dry it, not air dry it. Then add a little olive oil in the center and use a small piece of paper towel to cover the entire pan with a thin coat of olive oil to preserve it and keep it from rusting. I remember, this is exactly what my grandmother would do back in Spain. This is an authentic paella pan. One thing to remember about real cooks is that the utensils we use will never look like they did in a store window once we use them. If you buy a paella pan and it looks just like the way it was when you first bought it, you are not using it to cook, or you don’t have an authentic pan. When you make paella for 10 Spaniards they are not going to say”Gee, your pan looks brand new”; but rather “Qué paella deliciosa”. I have used it inside over 3 gas burners on my stove (I have a stove that has 5 burners , 2 on the right and 2 on the left and 1 in the center) and outside on a gas ring. I prefer to cook inside. Both inside and outside paella’s were just as good. Keep in mind to never heat your pan to high heat. I never go higher than Med high and most the time the heat is at medium or medium low. I love my new 22” pan. I was tired of making two paella’s using 2 - 14” pans. This pan feeds 6-8 people max. That is if your paella is good and everyone wants seconds. Review: Great paella pan - Based on some of the negative reviews, I was worried about the burning of the pan and the rust. But I followed the instructions for seasoning the pan before use completely. There was no rust. The paella turned out great! There was some burning of the rice at the bottom but that came off easily as soon as I scrubbed it a little. Washing and drying the pan thoroughly is critical to avoid rust. Make sure to season it before storing away. Love this pan. ## Features - Authentic paella pan; Made in Spain - Serves 4 to 6.

Love this pan. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authentico! *by C***. on July 9, 2025* As a home cook who loves to explore making food from a variety of world cuisines, I have had my sights set on a paella pan for years. I have tried to make due with other skillets, but I could not achieve that signature texture that we love about paella. So when I saw this one we bought it. It's perfecto! The first time I used it, I was able to create a paella with the flavor and texture of Spain including the much-desired zocorat. It's the perfect size and thickness to achieve the perfect results. I am even planning to take it camping where I can use it (as originally intended) over live fire. Don't make do-this is a pan that will make paella a family favorite go-to dish on weeknights and weekends alike. It's stainless steel so it's easy to clean. ## Frequently Bought Together - Garcima 16-Inch Carbon Steel Paella Pan, 40cm - Gourmanity Spanish Paella Rice, Rey del Arroz Authentic Short Grain Valencia Rice from Spain, Great for Paella, Risotto, Seafood Dishes and Mediterranean dishes, Soy and Gluten Free, 2.2lb - Zaran Saffron, Superior Saffron Threads (Super Negin) Premium grade Saffron Spice for Paella, Risotto, Tea's, and all Culinary Uses (2 Grams) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/3922872-carbon-steel](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/3922872-carbon-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
