We thought, who knows paella pans better than the Spanish? That's why we offer these made-in-Spain (Valencia) steel paella pans. There are different grades of paella pans in Spain; we've chosen the most durable, restaurant-grade, double-thick, carbon-steel pans in a variety of sizes. Measured in inches, from outside edge to outside edge, these pans are slightly less than 12", 14", 16", 18, and 22" in diameter. Larger sizes, up to a whopping 36" in diameter are available to order. Alternatively, you can think of these pans in terms of number of servings. If you you figure 1.5-cups of cooked rice per person, with your pan filled 3/4 full, our paella pans serve 4, 7, 9, and 12 persons.

Paella pans are not perfectly flat on the bottom; they're designed that way to allow cooking oil to pool in the center, so these pans are best used on gas stoves. They're made of carbon steel, so they conduct heat quickly and evenly, but they should not go in the dishwasher.
