Garcima 20-Inch Pata Negra Restaurant Grade Paella Pan, 50cm

Double thick steel pan specially designed for heavy use, such as in a restaurant or commercial kitchen. The extra thick metel prevents warping and is perfect for use over an open fire. The pan is made of carbon steel (aka polished steel, or Acer pulido), which is ideal for paella since it conducts heat quickly and evenly. The pan has a hammered dimpled bottom. The handles are made of steel and painted black. Carbon steel is the traditional material for paella, and some paella devotees feel that it enhances flavor. As with any raw steel pan, It requires some care: you must dry the pan right after washing It and then rub the inside with a little vegetable oil to prevent rusting. If the pan does rust, a few passes with steel wool takes it right off.
