The classic choice. Garcima is the workshop in Valencia that professional kitchens associate with paella, and this is the enamelled 36cm version — accommodating six servings of thin Valencian rice, marking the point where paella begins to thrive in the kitchen instead of the courtyard.
The vitreous enamel distinguishes this from the bare polished variant. While polished carbon steel requires seasoning, careful drying after each wash, and vigilance against rust, the enamel simply wipes clean. It is stable on gas, suitable for open flames, oven-safe for finishing, and resistant to the rust that can affect bare carbon steel.
Constructed in the traditional manner: pressed carbon steel, dimpled across the base, featuring two riveted handles that maintain their alignment under heat. The dimples are not merely decorative — they reinforce the base of the pan, ensuring it remains flat while cooking, and assist the rice in settling into the thin, even layer that is essential for paella.
For serving, a 36cm pan accommodates approximately 6 portions of thin rice (the Valencian style), 8 portions at a medium depth, or 10 portions when stretched deeper for a more substantial dish.
