Garcima Pata Negra Polished Carbon Steel Paella Pan 40cm, serves 3-9

The professional option. Garcima's Pata Negra represents the restaurant-quality line from the workshop — featuring thicker steel and a more robust construction, designed for the daily commercial usage that can ruin lighter cookware. It has a bare polished carbon steel finish with a traditional dimpled base, ensuring no compromises on the build quality. This is the paella pan that working kitchens choose when they are preparing paella as a significant menu item, rather than a sporadic feature.

Measuring forty centimetres in diameter — it can serve paella for 3 to 9 individuals, depending on the depth of the rice layer. It's designed for restaurant service, market stalls, catering businesses, and home chefs who desire the same quality as the professionals. Suitable for gas and open flame, the traditional heat sources for authentic paella. This pan is reliable year after year and improves with each use.

Handcrafted in Valencia, Spain — Garcima's premium professional line.

Care

• Season the cooking surface prior to first use — apply vegetable oil and heat to create the protective layer
• Hand wash with warm water and mild soap — never place in the dishwasher
• Immediately towel-dry after washing
• Lightly rub the inside with vegetable oil after drying to prevent rust
• If rust occurs, a few passes with steel wool will clean it effectively
• The pan will darken with use — this is the patina, not a sign of damage
