## Overview

The Garcima 15-Inch Carbon Steel Paella Pan is a handcrafted, authentic Spanish cookware piece designed for 3-5 servings. Made from high-quality carbon steel, it offers rapid and even heat conduction essential for creating the perfect socarrat crust. Its versatile design works seamlessly on gas, electric coil, grill, and oven (excluding induction). Lightweight yet durable, this pan requires simple maintenance to prevent rust and build seasoning, promising a lifetime of flavorful gatherings.

## Description

Serves 3 to 5 people. 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 pan is thin but quite rigid and durable, with a hammered dimpled bottom. The handles are made of steel and painted red. 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.

Review: Excellent paella pan, sturdy, and feeds 8-10 people - I had previously gotten the 18 inch version of the same pan a few months earlier and was so pleased with it that I got this one as well for much smaller gatherings. This pan will feed 8-10 people easily, depending on how much you put in it. That means between the two, I can easily feed 25 people or more. When receiving this pan, there are a couple of steps that aren't immediately made known, and these are very important to follow before making your first paella. Of course everyone will remove the sticker and most will wash the pan. BUT.... be sure to wash this pan with extremely hot water and lots of soap, making sure to flood the pan and wash it with a stiff cloth or a 3M cleaning pad, inside and out. There is a factory film on there that is easily removed and should be, but it takes more than a quick rinse out. I think it's part of the production process or something to help protect the pan till it gets to you. It's not going to make you sick, but just doesn't need to be in your food. Of course be sure to dry the pan immediately, preferably with a little heat to remove all traces of moisture before the next step. After the pan is dry, use a paper towel and rub a very light coat of shortening on the pan while it is still warm. I use Crisco. Then with a dry towel, wipe every bit of shortening residue off it. A slight film will remain. Do this inside and out to make sure it is well seasoned and protected from elements, and be sure to do this every time you use the pan for the next 5-10 times you use it. By then it will have started to build seasoning on it and you won't have to do it as often. However, I still put a little on my pan from time to time, and particularly if you know you aren't going to use it for awhile. This pan is pretty heavy duty and will hold up for my lifetime and more so long as you aren't throwing it around or bang it up too badly. Treat it with respect and it will serve you well for a long time. There are dimples in the bottom of this pan, and this is pretty typical of most top quality paella pans. I have never researched it in depth, but I have heard from several sources that it helps create the socarrat. “Socarrat” is that delectable, scrumptious crust that forms at the bottom of the paella pan when the liquid is rendered and the rice has reached its peak. This pan is highly recommended for beginners and paella experts.
Review: Good quality, good size, good price - This seems to be a run of the mill paella pan but the size seems more in line with what I wanted. It is not too large so that I don't have to make enough to feed 8 people. Since it will only be my wife and I and maybe another couple, this can easily allow one to cook four chicken thighs, some chorizo and enough shrimp for the guests. A good bottle of wine will make it work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does the rice stick to the bottom of the pan? or does it burn?**
A: A recipe will usually call for 7-8 Tb of olive oil. Let the pan heat well with oil. After browning any meats that need browned, sautéing the onion and any other veggies, and making  your sofrito, stir your Spanish rice in this mixture. Then pour in hot liquid and don't stir any more. All of the together should prevent major sticking. But you want to manage your heat after the liquid all evaporates so that a little rice to stick/toast on bottom but not burn. (Listen for the toasting sound of the oil; this browned, not blackened, layer is called soccarat and is desirable and a reason why this traditional carbon steel pan is favored over stainless.) Then, when you remove paella from the heat, tent with foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. The resulting steam should make the soccarat on bottom mostly loosen.

**Q: Will this pan stand up to the heat of a grill?**
A: This pan was a gift for my daughter and son-in-law to make paella.  They have used it on the grill with no problems and it makes great paella!

**Q: What is the diameter of the bottom of this pan? there are multiple dimensions listed in the amazon listing, a 15 inch pan, dimensions on specs say 20+**
A: the actual size of the bottom of the pan measured onthe out side is 13 1/8inches diameter

**Q: Will the pan work on nu-wave stove top?**
A: The convex and dimpled traditional bottom (desired for how it helps toasting of the rice) is better for gas and not induction. For induction there are heavier steel, completely flat-bottomed pans that are also not dimpled--well they are inside but you don't feel them underneath. A well-known brand in Spain is called Pata Negra and has black handles.
