Vaello Enamelled Paella Pan 28 cm

A paella pan built for even heat distribution across its broad, shallow base. The wide surface exposes the rice to consistent temperatures, allowing the grains to absorb flavours while forming the characteristic socarrat layer at the bottom. The pan's shape also encourages steam to circulate, preventing the dish from becoming soggy.

The operator places the pan directly on the oven rack or hob, adds oil, aromatics and stock, then spreads the rice evenly. Heat radiates from the base and sides, cooking the ingredients without stirring. Once the rice is set, the pan can be moved to a higher shelf for a brief finish under the grill if a deeper crust is desired.

Constructed from laminated steel, the pan resists warping under repeated heating cycles. An anti-acid enamel coating covers both the interior and exterior, protecting the metal from acidic ingredients such as tomatoes and lemon juice. The enamel also prevents rust and makes the surface easier to clean.

The single control is the oven setting, which determines the cooking temperature. A 28 cm diameter gives enough area to serve four to six portions of paella while fitting inside standard professional ovens.

The laminated steel base conducts heat quickly, reducing the time needed to reach cooking temperature. The enamel coating eliminates the need for seasoning and allows the pan to be washed with detergent without damaging the surface. After use, the pan should be cooled, wiped with a soft cloth and stored in a dry cupboard to preserve the enamel finish.

This pan is categorised under professional cookware for oven and hob use.
