Your Very Own Paella Pan will be the Centrepiece of Great Parties for Years to Come -
Let Friends and Family Gather Round to Enjoy the Spectacle!
One of the things we’re asked most often, after ‘Wow, how big is that pan?’ is ‘Why doesn’t my paella turn out as good as this?’
Time and again we're told stories of ‘paella’ eaten at markets, the homes of friends and even good restaurants that just doesn’t taste, or
even look, like the real thing.
The key is authenticity, and that starts with the pan, or ‘paellera’. It’s essential that the pan is of thin metal, wide, shallow and almost
flat
bottomed. If you've been served paella from anything else, particularly a wok, it's not paella. Don't be fooled. Our beautiful pans are
imp
orted from the factory where they’re made, in Spain. It’s the design of the pan that enables the maximum amount of rice to remain in
contact with the base, producing the prized ‘socarrat’, and that’s why pans increase in diameter rather than depth, to accommodate larger paella parties. There are pans around that are literally several metres across!
Your pan will be something to treasure, a feature of your outdoor entertaining, something to bring your family and friends together around. You'll love it!
