This paella cooking set is perfect for larger family parties. It is based on the Vaello La Valenciana 500mm paella gas burner. With this configuration, we have added the braced tripod stand for extra stability. It can be configured with choices of either Polished steel or Enamelled steel paella pans from 60cm, 65cm or 70cm pans
The paella set also includes a gas hose and clips. You will just need to choose a regulator for the appropriate gas bottle you want to use. (See gas & regulator guide for more information). The gas burner will run on both Propane & Butane.
** Important Note: We offer a service to crimp the regulator on the gas hose and burner. This a very strong connection, but will not have been leak tested. As always, check for any gas leaks using soapy water around all connections before lighting.

Paella Pans are tradionally described by the size of their top diameter. The base is somewhat smaller due to the sloping sides of a traditional paella pan. When cooking paella it is important to choose the right size pan to keep the paella thin. The most common mistake in cooking paella is to overfill the pan.
We have included some information for choosing the size of paella pan:
Each pan is marked by the manufacturer for the number of "Raciones" it will serve. This is best described as a "tapas" size portion. It is slightly strange as in Spain you would never see a paella pan being used to serve these numbers of portions. For example a 50cm pan is described as serving 14 portions, but in practice it will be used for about 7 people (perhaps even less). However the sizing is used by all the pan manufacturers in Spain, so it isn't going to change. Therefor we have added a column for Main course size servings, that give a better impression of the pan capacity.
It is always better to use have less in the pan than the maximum number of main course portions. A thin paella (up to a depth of about 1cm) will cook and taste better than an overfilled pan. As a general rule of thumb, if you take half (or a little more) the value of tapas portions, that would be approximately the minimum amount of main course portions the pan can be used for. eg for a 50cm Pan max main course portions is about 8, min would be 14/2 so 7 or or 6
It is important to try and get an even cooking heat as possible. This becomes very neccessary in the later stages of cooking paella when the rice is cooking. The flame does not need to cover the whole base of the pan, but conversely you dont want a small concentrated heat in the centre. In practice a gas hob can cook up to about a 36cm (maybe a 38cm) pan depending on the size of the gas burners. It is possible to use larger pans on agas hob if they can span multiple gas burners. However this will mean moving the pan (not stirring the paella !) around while the rice is cooking.
Remember normal paella pans are for gas or open fire only. If you are cooking on electric or AGA's then you will need one of our flat-bottomed paella pans

Cooking paella for my family of 20 was the easiest lunch to make. The 70cm pan was ideal and the product itself is well made and sturdy.I ordered on line but when I later decided to add a lid, I rang to add to my order and the service was great.

This is a really good cooking set. I was concerned the stand would be flimsy, but it is sturdy enough to hold the large paella pan and it’s contents which is heavy. I advise using a spirit level before using otherwise the liquid may spill out. The whole package was delivered quickly with useful notifications sent. The stand was a little tricky to construct so you need an extra pair of hands to help. There were no instruction on how to do this but careful scrutiny of the website picture solved the problem. I paid extra for the hose to be crimped but it was just clipped. It was easy to cook a large paella. I would suggest placing it somewhere where you can access it all around as it is quite a reach to the other side of the pan. Overall, I would highly recommend this company for quality and speed of delivery. We enjoyed a delicious outdoor paella party with friends.
All good, quick delivery
Arrived quickly, boxed well, service was fantastic and looks great. Not used yet, can't wait for the warm weather. Thanks
