This 18 inch carbon steel* pan is the ideal product for cooking the perfect paella.  This pan is made in old fashioned tradition and is a true paella pan – wide, round and shallow, and with splayed sides.  It is exactly the type that has been used in Spain through the ages.      In order to cook paella, you need a paella pan! The shape and construction make the difference.  Paella is cooked in a thin layer which is the reason that paella pans are large and shallow.   You will notice the large cooking surface that dips slightly in the middle to facilitate pooling of oil during preliminary sautéing.  Myson paella pans are ideally suited for paella, but you will find your way to limitless uses for other dishes.  Its great for grilling, fish fries, clam bakes, breakfast, and a variety of outdoor cooking.      Myson paella pans are meant to be used over an open flame, either in the kitchen on a gas cook top or over an open fire outdoors.  Great for cookouts, hikes, and picnics too.    This pan’s carbon steel material allows for even heating and is the traditional material that improves as it ages.  The red handles are produced from steel and painted with heat resistant paint, which is a Spanish trademark.  At first use, your paella pan will season and develop a thin carbonized layer adhered to the cooking surface.  Upon repeated use, this seasoning will result in a natural non-stick surface that adds a subtle flavor that improves with age.
