Magefesa Carbon Steel Paella Pan

The wide, shallow pan that turns rice, saffron, and Sunday into paella.

Carbon steel heats fast and evenly, and this traditional Spanish pan spreads rice in the thin, loose-grained layer that authentic paella depends on. Made in Spain, it works over gas, charcoal, or electric, and it happily moonlights as an extra-large fry pan. Like any carbon steel, it wants a light seasoning: wash by hand, dry it right away, and rub on a thin film of oil to keep rust off. An instruction manual and recipe book come along to get you started.
