The original. Garcima is the workshop in Valencia that most professional kitchens associate with paella, and this is the enamelled 46cm — the typical size for entertaining, large enough for twelve servings of thin Valencian rice but compact enough to fit securely on a home burner stand.
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 can affect bare carbon steel.
Constructed in the traditional manner: pressed carbon steel, dimpled on the base, featuring two riveted handles that maintain their alignment under heat. The dimples are not just for aesthetics — 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 46cm pan accommodates approximately 12 portions of thin rice (the Valencian style), 16 portions at a medium depth, or 20 portions when cooked deeper for a more substantial dish.
