Magefesa Carbon Steel Paella Pan Ideal For Outdoor Cooking And Traditional Valencian Paella

How to Choose the Right Paella Burner and Pan Set

Choosing the right paella set depends on the number of servings you plan to cook and the size of paella pan you want to use. The burner must match the diameter of the pan to ensure even heat distribution and authentic paella results. As a general rule, larger pans require larger burners with multiple ring configurations to maintain consistent cooking performance.

Use the chart below to find the recommended burner size for your paella pan, compare U.S. and Spanish pan diameters, and determine the ideal set based on the number of servings you need. Whether you’re cooking a small tasting portion or preparing paella for a large gathering, this guide will help you select the perfect paella burner and pan combination.

Cleaning and care instructions for your Carbon steel paella pan:

BEFORE FIRST TIME USE: To remove the manufacturer’s protective coating fill the pan with a solution of water and vinegar and bring to a boil. If the label does not come off easily, try heating the piece slightly.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: This product has been designed for use on gas stoves and open wood fires. It is not suitable to use on electric cookers. Do not overheat the pan or leave it empty over direct heat. This product is oven-safe, but not suitable to use in the microwave. Stainless steel and wood utensils are safe to use to stir ingredients. Do not exposure the piece to sudden temperature changes as this may damage the polishing.

MAINTENANCE: Wash the pan with soapy water. Dry immediately afterwards to prevent the piece from rusting. Only use non-abrasive scouring pads and detergents. This product is not suitable for use in the dishwasher. Once thoroughly dry, coat the entire surface of the pan with a bit of vegetable oil to prevent corrosion. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and store in a dry place. If the pan rusts, remove the oxide stains with a sponge or soft sandpaper, then re-season the piece. Discoloration of the surface (a dark bluish appearance) is completely normal and indicates the pan has been properly seasoned.
