Question: how do i clean and season my new pan?
Document: I love my new pan! Fixed a terrific paella on the grill, and the pan was easy to clean up. Even cooking temperature, and the food was wonderful! I ordered the pan on a Friday and received it on Saturday.
Why do you put a sticker in the top of a pan that has to be seasoned? Couldn't get the glue off and center didn't season properly.
This paella pan was great. It was big enough to make Paella that served 15 people (huge portions + take-home). It was easy to clean up as well.
Traditional.. and I like that. Read up on how to season a steel pan and there are some good vids on YouTube, don't rush the process and apply thin, thin coats of oil as many as 10x s.
The pan isn't exactly flat but as long as you keep the pan level on the charcoal 22" round grill by adjusting the grill itself, the oil will be centered in the pan. It was an easy clean up and will be using it again this weekend.
When it arrived I washed it and took the time to heat it and oil it but when I cooked with it it was just wonderful made a paella with alot of seafoods for Christmas Dinner .wow how wonderful with the new pan thank you Amazon for carrying such great products.
This is a beautiful pan. Be aware that the pan will rust if you don't season it with oil. It works beautifully on top of an electric stove, conducting the heat very well. This is a very large pan and may not fit in smaller ovens. For sure it does not fit in a 30inch oven.
The paella cooked well and displayed beautifully. The pan size is just perfect to serve 12 people or more, you can cook about 4 to 5 cups of rice easily, along with all your vegetables, party size chicken drumsticks, pork, shrimp and mussels. It all fits great! Everyone enjoyed dinner and I was a happy camper. :-)I highly recommend this product.Have fun making your paella and enjoy your new paella pan if you decide to buy it.
rusted before even using it. simply used water to help remove the sticker that came on the pan. poor quality.
Arrived fast and in great condition. Was exactly as listed in ad. This is a large size pan for serving several or more people.
Answer: To clean the pan just boil a couple of cups of water in the pan then wash with soap and water the first time only.  Dry the pan immediately, give it a very light coat of Canola oil and heat it evenly over the stove until it turns golden...try not to overheat, if it starts to smoke take it off the fire.  You could do that in the oven if yours is large enough to hold the pan, 350F I believe like a cast iron dutch oven.  Do this after every use.  To clean after use I just use water and scrub pad for anything stuck. A little oil, back over the fire, then wipe it out with a paper towel and it's ready for storage.
