GarcimaLa Ideal Polished Steel Paella Pan 90cm

This is a fantastic pan, as long as you are prepared to look after it properly. Because this pan is carbon steel, cleaning it is a much more involved process than you would need for something like a more generic non-stick pan.Essentially, you should make sure you always clean it fairly quickly after use, drying it pretty much immediately. You then need to coat it in a thin layer of oil (I used coconut oil) before storing it away. If you do not follow these steps, the pan will rust very quickly (which you can see from the other reviews.)Personally, I have seasoned the pan in order to improve the non-stick nature of the steel. This isn't necessary to use it, but I would really recommend going through the seasoning process in order to get the most out of the pan and make it as easy to use as possible!I paid just over £16 - which, for a 36cm carbon steel pan, is great value for money. I would say that the size chart in the pictures feels fairly accurate, and I have cooked over four portions in mine easily.

An amazing quality paella pan for an amazing price. Great size, weight, width and depth. It looks stylish too! Also it’s manufactured in Valencia, Spain, which makes it seem even more special! Definitely the real deal. Haven’t had the chance to try it out yet, but we don’t think we’ll be disappointed with how it functions. Highly recommend this product.

Great size pan ideal for 2-3 people portion, it does rust so have seasoned it with olive oil which does the trick..makes an authentic paella, ie you can get a crust on the bottom..would recommend

Garcima is a good brand and they make great pans... Unfortunately I received a marked pan which appeared used. Returned, re-ordered only to receive a marked pan a 2nd time! Pamphlet with recipes and care instructions was missing both times. Returned, I'll update this review if I receive a NEW pan, will it be third time lucky?

Good price for this paella pan. Keep it oiled after use and it won’t rust.

Very happy with item

It didn't come with instructions on how to make paella as it states, however I do have Google so not a massive problem. I want to use it in the oven, but the handles appear to be made of plastic (although description states all of it is oven safe, so maybe just being cautious) lovely size, really light and easy to clean. A good purchase but could be better.

Great quality at this price, great quality and exactly the right shape to get a good paella without too much stirring (in deeper pans you have to stir it, but that can ruin the rice - these pans are designed especially for making perfect paella.Make sure you use extra virgin olive oil the first time you use it, pour some in (just enough to coat the bottom), heat it up (not too hot), then take it off the heat and let it cool. Your pan is now ready to use.This pan is perfect for a paella for four people - or for two very hungry people, who might like paella again the day after (paella keeps well if you put it in a suitable container in the fridge, just use the pan to reheat it again the next day, add a little more water or lemon juice to freshen it up).Authentic Spanish Paella Pan!FIVE stars
