26 Inch Stainless Steel Paella Pan - Serves 16

Note: This pan is great for large parties. A pan of this size should be used over an open fire or with a propane paella burner (which we can supply). The pan's dimpled surface spreads heat evenly for a perfect paella every time.

This is the ultimate paella pan. It is a work of art worthy of being displayed on your kitchen wall with its handsome gold plated handles. It is a wonderful gift - perhaps for yourself too!

Because it is polished stainless steel the pan is virtually care-free. Just wash it with soap and water and it is as good as new. There is no need to worry about seasoning, staining or any kind of rust.

Does this paella pan fit in a standard oven?

No. This paella pan exceeds the dimensions of most standard ovens and is not suitable for oven use. It’s best used on a stovetop, grill or outdoor burner setup. If oven cooking is required, consider a smaller pan—typically 15 to 16 inches in diameter with low-profile handles—to ensure proper fit.

What should I do before using my paella pan for the first time?

Add a small amount of water to the pan and heat it on the stove to remove the protective coating and any stickers. Dump the water and repeat the process several times. Then wash the pan with hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Does a stainless steel paella pan require seasoning?

No. Unlike traditional steel pans, stainless steel does not require seasoning before use. However, avoid using abrasive cooking or cleaning tools to protect the surface.

Will the pan rust or stain over time?

No. Stainless steel is resistant to rust, corrosion, and staining, even with frequent use.
