Product Description
This 13-1/2-inch pan serves 2 to 3 - preferably just two but if all parties restrain themselves just a bit, you can eke out that extra serving. Fits easily over one burner. The handles are made of steel and painted green. 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. Carbon steel is the traditional material for paella, and some paella devotees feel that it enhances flavor.

I decided to do something sifferent this summer on the grill, instead of the usual burgers, brats, etc.. Having eaten paella several times, I decided this would be something really different to make for guests. After doing a fair amount of research into the whole paella process, I selected this pan to go at it the right way. Because it's carbon steel, you have to season it before use. Not too hard, just wash, dry, oil and heat. Wash again, dry, re-oil and cook a batch of plain rice on the grill. Use/discard the rice, wash and re-oil lightly and you're ready to go. Carbon steel becomes semi-no stick with use, I have a wok that I've had for years and clean up is a snap. These pans discolor the more you use them, adding character besides! I emailed a friend of mine from Spain to ask for any input he may have about making paella, and he told me to buy this kind of pan, not knowing I already had. Paella is usually made outdoors on a grill or burner or open fire and this pan will hold up well. You do not need a lid to make paella, so don't buy one. Buy a book or two, Google around to get information and have at it. You'll be the coolest cook on a hot grill in your neighborhood!

this is indeed the real deal, and it really does make a difference in the quality of paella. This size (14 inches) holds almost exactly 2 cups of dry rice (with about 2-3 pounds of "meaty objects"--you pick the protein) and will serve 3 nicely, and 4 with some help on side dishes. Leftovers, despite what everyone might say, just aren't as good as the stuff eaten hot from the pan, so don't plan for any.

As I was examining the pan, after peeling the manufacturer's sticker off, my daughter came up and yanked on it. There was a sharp bur on the edge of the steel under the curled over groove that cut my finger. I thought that I should take a file and smooth this edge before I seasoned the pan. It was hard to find a file that would reach the sharp edge as it was curled under. While I was working on it I cut a finger on the other hand on another sharp edge. After I had seasoned the pan I felt the edge of the groove all the way around for sharp edges and I think I got them all. I am a Dutch Oven aficionado, so seasoning was not a challenge for me. I washed off the film they put on it to protect it from rusting during shipping, dried it, and wiped a thin layer of coconut oil on it on both sides top and bottom. Then I placed it in the Webber kettle (grill) outside for half an hour for the oil to thicken and form a varnish. Then I cooled the pan and put on a second coat and back on the grill. That left it with a nice brown varnish like finish that will protect it from rust and prevent food from sticking. I still coat it with a thin film of oil whenever I put it away.I was hoping that this size would fit on my Webber kettle grill so that I could use it outside. It turns out that it is just slightly too wide--only because of the handles. I need another 1/4 inch clearance to fit. I will have to find a way to bend the handles up or else find another outdoor heat source. Some of the green paint on the handles came off on the Webber Kettle. That is not a big issue for me--the handles will eventually turn black from the seasoning anyway.
