FAQs

What is the best heat source for this paella pan?

This enamelled steel paella pan works best on gas or electric stovetops. While some enamelled pans can be used on halogen, it's crucial to check compatibility. This specific model is generally not suitable for induction cooktops.

How do I prevent the 'socarrat' from burning?

The 'socarrat' requires careful heat management. Once the liquid has mostly evaporated, reduce the heat to low for the last few minutes. Listen for a gentle crackling sound and smell for a toasty aroma, indicating the formation of the crust without burning.

Can I use metal utensils with this pan?

It is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the enamelled surface from scratches and chipping. Metal utensils can damage the coating over time.

Is the white enamel durable?

The enamel is durable for its intended use, but it can be prone to chipping if subjected to impact or harsh cleaning methods. Treat it with care to maintain its appearance and integrity.

How should I store the paella pan?

Store the paella pan in a dry place. To prevent damage to the enamel, avoid stacking heavy items directly on it. You can place a protective cloth or paper towel between pans if stacking.

Can this pan be used in the oven?

This paella pan is not designed for oven use. Its construction and handles are intended for stovetop cooking and serving.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the pan

Ensure sufficient cooking fat (oil or butter) is used, and maintain moderate cooking temperatures. Allow the pan to cool before cleaning if food is heavily adhered.

Enamel chipping

Avoid dropping the pan, using metal utensils directly on the surface, or subjecting it to sudden temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot pan in cold water). Handle with care during washing and storage.

Uneven cooking

Ensure the pan is centered on the heat source and that the heat is distributed evenly. Adjust heat levels to avoid hot spots.

Discoloration of the enamel

Some discoloration may occur with normal use, especially with high heat or certain ingredients. Clean gently with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Care Instructions:

  • Before First Use: Wash the pan with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
  • Cooking: Use low to medium heat. Avoid overheating, especially when empty.
  • Cleaning: Allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Use a soft sponge or cloth with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive scourers, steel wool, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the enamel.
