World Cuisine 14.12-Inch x 2.5-Inch Black Steel Paella Pan Reviews

Customer Ratings:

It is what it says it is, a very solidly built pan, nicely deep, which I happen to prefer over the shallow paella pans. I seasoned it by wiping the interior with canola oil and putting it on the fire, moving it around so that all areas got very hot and darkened nearly to black with repeated applications. You can't rush this. It just takes several application and heat treatments of just enough oil to coat the surface. Upon cooking my first batch of paella in it, I got the expected and desirable crust on the bottom, but some hot water and just a dish cloth cleaned it up fine. It heavy enough steel that the heat is pretty well distributed. I'm very happy and looking forward to the better method of cooking paella on the grill. I did have some areas where the seasoning looked to have been substantially removed after the first washing, but a couple of rounds of oil treatment filled them in.

We have used this pan often since Christmas. In fact it has become one of my favorite pans. You do have to put a small amount of oil on the inside so that it won't rust. It is functional and looks good too.

I am not a certified paella master but I know my way around a kitchen, and this sure seems like a pretty decent pan, especially for the money. It has higher sides than some paella pans but this is a good thing, no spills or boil-overs when you first pour the broth in. Like any steel or iron pan it takes some curing with oil to make it non-stick, but with some time and patience it will happen. I would never want Teflon on a paella pan, given the temperature you need to get the "paella crust" (at high temperatures Teflon and other nonstick coatings can release toxic compounds). I find that this size pan makes a paella for about six normal adults, or four ravenous ones.

Honest reviews on World Cuisine 14.12-Inch x 2.5-Inch Black Steel Paella Pan

I've only used this once so far but it produced a really good paella with a crunchy bottom, exactly what I was trying for. To be honest, the seasoning of the pan took longer than the actual paella, but once done worked perfectly. It's just exactly what I wanted. Love the handles. If you love kitchenware as I do, you won't be disappointed in this pan.

Perfect size for up to 6 or so people. The rice cooked perfect. I've even used it on the grill for a different taste. The seasoning of the pan is very straightforward. Highly recommended.
