20 inch Pata Negra Paella Pan

20 inch Pata Negra Paella Pan Review



20 inch Pata Negra Paella Pan Feature

  • Authentic paella pan. Made in Spain.
  • Professional grade carbon steel is very durable and conducts heat well. Requires a bit of maintenance after washing.
  • Extra Thick and Heavy Duty Steel safe for stovetop, oven or grill
  • Ideal for serving 6 to 10 people.
  • The pan comes with an informative pamphlet that contains two recipes, tips for perfect paella, and care instructions.
20" Pata Negra Paella Pan (50 cm) Serves 6 to 10 people, depending on how thin or thick your layer of rice is (thinner is preferable but gives fewer servings). This size usually fits over two standard burners, but you'll need to rotate the pan during cooking. It works well on a grill. It won't fit in the oven. Pata Negra is a professional quality paella pan made from an extra-thick and heavy-duty grade of carbon steel (aka polished steel, or acero pulido). It's a good choice for restaurant kitchens, or for home cooks who expect to give their pan a good workout. As with any carbon steel pans, these pans requires a bit of care: you must dry the pan right after washing it and then rub the inside with a little vegetable oil to prevent rusting. PAN DIMENSIONS: Bottom Diameter: 17.5", Top Diameter: 20", Diameter w/ handles: 26.25", Depth (outside): 2.25"

Carbon Steel Paella Pan with Red Handles 16"

Carbon Steel Paella Pan with Red Handles 16" Review



Carbon Steel Paella Pan with Red Handles 16" Feature

  • Carbon steel paella pan with red handles.
  • Pan is 16 inches.
Sturdy and fast heating, yet thin and strong, this is the traditional pan of Spain. Traditional polished steel paella pans are the most popular choice for their great price, durability, and for their authentic flavor. Surprisingly, the raw-polished steel actually improves the flavor of what is being cooked inside! The raw steel traps the oil inside of its natural microscopic pores and gives you a wonderful crisp texture on the bottom layer of rice. Care for these pans just like you would cast-iron cookware; hand washing ensures a lifetime of performance.

These pans are always a great choice for flavor and value!

Magefesa Nonstick 10-Inch Tortilla Pan, 2-Piece Review



Magefesa Nonstick 10-Inch Tortilla Pan, 2-Piece Feature

  • 2 10-inch pans hook together easily.
  • Pans can be used independently.
  • Nonstick interior and enameled exterior.
  • Works on all gas, electric, and induction burners.
  • Imported from spain.
The Spanish potato tortilla is truly an amazing dish -- so humble (made of just potatoes, onions, and eggs) and yet so incredibly satisfying. This tortilla flipping pan ensures a perfect tortilla every time since it takes the anxiety out of the most critical step: the flipping of the tortilla in the pan. Just cook the tortilla in one of the nonstick pans, and when it is ready to flip, set the second nonstick pan on top. The two pans slip together simply but securely so you can feel confident doing "the flip." Also use these pans separately as stand-alone nonstick skillets. Each pan measures 10 inches across the top. They work on all gas, electric, and induction burners.
