Essential Buying Considerations
Size and Capacity
- Choose by portions—a 26cm pan serves 2-3, while 80cm+ serves 40+ guests.
- Consider storage space—larger pans need significant kitchen real estate.
- Match size to heat source—ensure your burner can handle your chosen pan size.
Material and Construction

Trusted Insights from Priya Sharma

"For authentic Spanish cooking, a proper paella pan is non-negotiable – it’s all about even heat and that perfect socarrat! Whether you're cooking for 10 or 100, Garcima pans bring that rustic Spanish charm and performance to every service."
How Garcima Paella Pans & Spanish Cooking Equipment Work
The magic of Garcima's paella equipment lies in its distinctive design. The wide, shallow pan with gently sloping sides creates the perfect cooking surface for paella rice, allowing for maximum evaporation and that coveted socarrat (crispy bottom layer). Traditional carbon steel heats quickly and distributes heat beautifully—essential for developing complex flavours. Most pans feature two handles for balanced carrying, even when loaded with saffron-infused rice and seafood. When paired with proper paella burners that deliver even heat across the entire surface, you're set for authentic results that would make Valencia proud!
Safety Guidelines
- Check Stability Ensure paella burners are level—prevents dangerous tipping.
- Secure Handles Verify handles are firmly attached—avoids dropping hot pans.
- Heat Protection Use proper heat-resistant gloves—handles get extremely hot.
- Surface Placement Place on heat-safe surfaces only—prevents fire hazards.
- Burner Safety Turn off gas immediately after use—stops gas leaks.
- Ventilation Check Ensure proper airflow when using indoors—prevents carbon monoxide buildup.

Top Tips for Using Garcima Paella Pans & Spanish Cooking Equipment
To get spectacular results from your Garcima equipment, always preheat the pan before adding oil, and distribute ingredients evenly across the entire surface—never stir paella once the stock is added! Season new carbon steel pans before first use by coating with oil and heating until smoking. Clean with hot water only—no soap—and dry immediately to prevent rust. For stunning presentation, serve directly in the pan at the table paired with proper serving spoons for that authentic Spanish dining experience.
