Paella Dishes
Paella Dishes are wide, shallow cooking pans designed to deliver authentic paella with even heat and perfect socarrat, while also doubling as stylish oven-to-table serveware. This range includes traditional carbon steel paella pans and non-stick aluminium options suited to busy professional kitchens. Ideal for restaurants, tapas bars, hotels and event caterers, these dishes perform equally well on gas burners, open flame or in the oven. Durable construction and generous diameters help you cook and present large sharing portions with confidence and speed of service.
- Traditional carbon steel paella pans in multiple diameters for small to large portions.
- Aluminium non-stick paella pans for easy release and quick cleaning in high-turnover kitchens.
- Wide, shallow profiles that promote even cooking and the classic crispy socarrat base.
- Robust riveted handles for safe lifting from hob or burner straight to the table.
- Suitable for restaurants, tapas bars, hotels, food trucks and outdoor catering events.
How to choose the right Paella Dishes
- Match pan diameter to your typical portion size and service style, from intimate sharing dishes to large event catering.
- Choose carbon steel for traditional flavour and fast heat response, or non-stick aluminium for easier cleaning and reduced food waste.
- Check compatibility with your heat source, including gas rings, paella burners, solid tops or oven finishing.
- Consider handle style and strength for safe movement from kitchen to table in busy service.
- Allow for storage space, especially if you need multiple pans stacked for high-volume operations.
Care and maintenance
- Season carbon steel paella pans before first use and re-season regularly to maintain a natural non-stick surface.
- Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive pads on seasoned or non-stick pans to prevent damage to the cooking surface.
- Dry pans thoroughly after washing and apply a light coat of oil to carbon steel to prevent rust.
- Inspect handles and rivets frequently to ensure safe lifting during busy service.
- Store pans stacked carefully with protective layers to avoid warping and surface scratches.
