The original. Garcima is the workshop in Valencia that most professional kitchens associate with paella, and this is the enamelled 30cm — serving three portions of thin Valencian rice, the smallest of the authentic paella sizes and suitable for a single-burner cook.
The vitreous enamel distinguishes this from the bare polished version. 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 affects 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 pan's base to keep it flat during cooking and assist the rice in settling into the thin, even layer that is essential for paella.
For serving, a 30cm pan accommodates approximately 3 portions of thin rice (the Valencian style), 4 portions at a medium depth, or 5 portions when stretched deeper for a more substantial dish.
