Garcima Enamelled Carbon Steel Paella Pan 40cm, 9-15 Portions

The classic choice. Garcima is the workshop in Valencia that most professional kitchens associate with paella, and this is the enamelled 40cm version — the family-sized paella, serving nine portions of fine Valencian rice and perfectly matched with a 30cm gas burner.

The vitreous enamel distinguishes this from the uncoated 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 affects bare carbon steel.

Constructed in the traditional manner: pressed carbon steel, featuring dimples across the base, with 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 they assist the rice in settling into the thin, even layer that is essential for paella.

For serving, a 40cm pan accommodates approximately 9 portions of thin rice (the Valencian style), 12 portions at a medium depth, or 15 portions when stretched deeper for a more substantial dish.
