Vaello Polished Steel Valencian Paella Pan (38cm)
The Vaello 38cm Polished Steel Paella Pan is an authentic culinary vessel manufactured in Valencia, Spain. This pan is constructed from hand-polished, cold-laminated steel (carbon steel), the industry-standard material for traditional paella preparation. Carbon steel is preferred by professional chefs for its exceptional thermal conductivity and rapid response to heat adjustments, which are critical for developing the socarrat—the prized caramelised rice crust. The pan features a traditional dish base to facilitate oil collection in the centre and is fitted with heavy-duty riveted handles for maximum structural integrity.
Material: Polished Laminated Steel (High-Carbon Steel)
Dimensions: Rim Diameter: 38cm - Base Diameter: 33cm - Depth: 4.5cm
Total Width (incl. handles): 51cm
Heat Source Compatibility: Specifically optimised for Paella Gas Burners and Open Fire/BBQ environments.
Note: Due to the slightly dished base and material properties, this pan is not suitable for induction, flat-top electric/halogen hobs, or oven use.
High thermal inertia for precision searing; traditional Valencian dimpled surface to prevent warping and promote even heating.
Capacity / Servings
Main Course: 5 Portions
Tapas: 8 Portions
Technical Maintenance & Care
As a high-carbon steel product without a synthetic coating, this pan requires specific protocols to prevent oxidation (rust):
Commissioning: Before the first use, the pan must be boiled with water and then scrubbed with detergent to remove the manufacturer’s protective lacquer.
Post-Use Protocol: After each use, hand wash the pan immediately. Never allow the pan to air-dry.
Oxidation Prevention: Once thoroughly dried, apply a thin layer of food-grade vegetable oil to the entire surface (interior and exterior) using a paper towel.
Storage: Store in a dry environment. For long-term protection, it is recommended to keep the oiled pan inside a plastic bag.
