Paella Pan Instructions

To ensure the quality of your paella pans are upheld, follow the correct maintenance steps. 

Carbon Steel Paella Pans:

  1. Initial Preparation:

    • Before first use, wash your pan thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove the manufacturer's anti-rust coating.
    • For optimal seasoning, heat some water in the pan with a dash of cider vinegar. Simmer for about 10 minutes, then rinse and dry the pan completely.
    • Lightly coat the inside of the pan with vegetable oil to seal the surface and prevent rusting.
  2. Maintenance:

    • If rust appears, gently scrub it off with steel wool and re-season the pan by applying a thin layer of vegetable oil.
    • Avoid leaving an empty pan over direct heat for more than a few seconds as the thin metal can overheat and develop dark spots.
    • Carbon steel pans heat up and cool down quickly, which is ideal for cooking paella. Always ensure there is liquid or food in the pan to absorb the heat to prevent discoloration or warping.
    • Do not pre-heat the pan empty to avoid potential damage.

Enamelled Paella Pans:

  • Enamelled paella pans require minimal maintenance.
  • Wash them with warm, soapy water before the first use.
  • Handle them carefully to avoid chipping the enamel, which is mostly cosmetic and won’t affect performance.

By following these care instructions, your paella pans will remain in excellent condition for years of enjoyable cooking
