Garcima Enamelled Carbon Steel Paella Pan 50cm, 14-25 Portions

The original. Garcima is the workshop in Valencia that most professional kitchens associate with paella, and this is the enamelled 50cm — the size that accommodates a full table of guests during dinner while allowing the rice to spread in the thin layer that paella requires.

The vitreous enamel distinguishes this from the bare polished version. While polished carbon steel requires seasoning, careful drying after each wash, and vigilant monitoring for 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 affects bare carbon steel.

Constructed in the traditional manner: pressed carbon steel, dimpled across the base, with two riveted handles that maintain their alignment under heat. The dimples are not merely decorative — they reinforce the bottom of the pan to keep it flat while cooking, and they assist the rice in settling into the thin, even layer that is essential for paella.

For serving, a 50cm pan yields approximately 14 portions of thin rice (the Valencian style), 20 portions at a medium depth, or 25 portions when stretched deeper for a more substantial dish.
