Polished Steel Paella Pans

Our "La Ideal" polished steel paella pans from Garcima are very high quality and come with Garcima's distinctive signature red handles. They are made from cold laminated steel, spun to form their pan shape and then polished by hand. They also use a thicker gauge steel than other paella pan manufactuers to produce a stronger pan less susceptible to warping.

Each pan has a traditional "dimpled" base to help the heat spread evenly & quickly. The base of these paella pans is also slightly dished allowing the oil to collect in the centre when first frying your ingredients & creating the sofrito. They can be used on gas cookers and pans up to 36cm can be used on induction hobs. You can,of course, use them on our paella gas burners and on an open fire.

The pans are incredibly durable but do remember that as they are made of steel they need to be cleaned and then immediately dried and sealed with a thin coating of oil. This is easily done using a piece of kitchen roll dipped in cooking oil to wipe over the pan.

Each pan is measured from the top edge (excluding handles). To help you select the correct size pan we have included keys with dimensions and the approximate number of servings for each individual pan - these can be found by clicking on the information for each pan.
