Garcima Enamelled Carbon Steel Paella Pan 42cm - 10-17 Portions

The original. Garcima is the workshop in Valencia that professional kitchens associate with paella, and this is the enamelled 42cm — the go-to pan for entertaining, accommodating ten servings of thin Valencian rice on a pan that transitions effortlessly between burner, oven, and table.

The vitreous enamel distinguishes this from the uncoated polished version. While polished carbon steel requires seasoning, meticulous 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 serve a purpose — they reinforce the pan's base to keep it flat during cooking, and they assist in achieving the thin, even layer of rice that is essential for paella.

For serving, a 42cm pan yields approximately 10 portions of thin rice (the Valencian style), 14 portions at a medium depth, or 17 portions when stretched deeper for a more substantial dish.
