Paella Pans

A paella is not really a paella unless it’s made in a paella pan. Available at many cookware shops, paella pans come in a variety of sizes. The most useful is about 16 inches in diameter. Thin carbon-steel pans are best. To prevent rusting, dry the paella pan thoroughly after washing it and always rub it lightly with olive oil. If the pan does rust, just rub the rust off with steel wool. (For more about paella pans.)
