It&#8217;s a handleless pan, with two or more handles for carrying it. <\/p>\n<p>They come in different sizes, allowing you to prepare paellas for a few or a large group of people. What you need to know is that paellas can have different thicknesses. Some will tell you that a thin paella is the ultimate holy grail! The paella then has a very thin layer of rice. The pan can also accommodate a thick layer of rice, which allows you to accommodate more guests.    <\/p>\n<p>In general, it is recommended to opt for the following ratios.<\/p>\n<h4>Paella with a thin layer of rice (about 1.5 cm thick) <\/h4>\n<table class=\"tableau\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pan size<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Nombre of guests<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&lt; 30 cm<\/td>\n<td>1 guest<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>30 to 40 cm<\/td>\n<td>1 to 4 guests<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>40 to 50 cm<\/td>\n<td>4 to 6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>50 to 60 <\/td>\n<td>6 to 8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>60 to 70 <\/td>\n<td>8 to 10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>70 to 80 cm<\/td>\n<td>10 to 20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4>Paella with an intermediate layer of rice (about 2 cm thick)<\/h4>\n<table class=\"tableau\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pan size<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Nombre of guests<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&lt; 30 cm<\/td>\n<td>1 to 3 guests<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>30 to 40 cm<\/td>\n<td>4 to 7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>40 to 50 cm<\/td>\n<td>4 to 6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>50 to 60 cm<\/td>\n<td>5 to 11<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>60 to 70 cm<\/td>\n<td>11 to 15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>70 to 80 cm<\/td>\n<td>15 to 24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4>Paella with a thick layer of rice (about 3 cm thick)<\/h4>\n<table class=\"tableau\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pan size<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Nombre of guests<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&lt; 30 cm<\/td>\n<td>4 guests<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>30 to 40 cm<\/td>\n<td>5 to 9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>40 to 50 cm<\/td>\n<td>9 to 14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>50 to 60 cm<\/td>\n<td>14 to 20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>60 to 70 cm<\/td>\n<td>20 to 30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>70 to 80 cm<\/td>\n<td>30 to 40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 id=\"elementor-tab-title-9442\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-9442\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M143 352.3L7 216.3c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l22.6-22.6c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l96.4 96.4 96.4-96.4c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l22.6 22.6c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9l-136 136c-9.2 9.4-24.4 9.4-33.8 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M177 159.7l136 136c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9l-22.6 22.6c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0L160 255.9l-96.4 96.4c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0L7 329.7c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l136-136c9.4-9.5 24.6-9.5 34-.1z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What material should you choose for a paella pan?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-9442\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-9442\"><p>Paella pans are available in a variety of materials, including polished steel, enameled steel, and stainless steel. Prices vary widely depending on the material. Some materials have the advantage of being non-stick or rust-resistant. However, they all serve the same purpose: to cook paella.   <\/p>\n<h4>Polished steel pan<\/h4>\n<p>The most common pan is the polished steel pan. It&#8217;s also the most affordable. Its main drawback is that it rusts over time. Therefore, it must be cleaned properly before use. To limit the appearance of rust, it is essential to clean and dry it thoroughly after each use. Then, apply a light coat of vegetable oil to the steel before storing it.     <\/p>\n<h4>Enameled steel pan<\/h4>\n<p>Like the previous pan, it is made of polished steel. However, it has an additional layer of black enamel, sometimes speckled with white spots. This provides additional protection for the paella pan and limits oxidation. It also makes it easier to clean.   <\/p>\n<h4>Stainless steel pan<\/h4>\n<p>It combines the advantages of the two previous pans. It has a polished steel finish and is rust-proof thanks to its stainless steel. <\/p>\n<p>In some villages and families, you can sometimes find old cast iron pans. They can still be used, but they have many disadvantages (oxidation, weight, etc.) <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 id=\"elementor-tab-title-9443\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-9443\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M143 352.3L7 216.3c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l22.6-22.6c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l96.4 96.4 96.4-96.4c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l22.6 22.6c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9l-136 136c-9.2 9.4-24.4 9.4-33.8 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M177 159.7l136 136c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9l-22.6 22.6c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0L160 255.9l-96.4 96.4c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0L7 329.7c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l136-136c9.4-9.5 24.6-9.5 34-.1z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How to maintain your paella pan?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-9443\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-9443\"><p>Like any pan, you must take care of it and especially avoid scratching it. <\/p>\n<p>Upon receiving the pan and before using it, boil water in it to remove the thin protective coating applied by the manufacturer to the steel.

Prices vary widely depending on the material. Some materials have the advantage of being non-stick or rust-resistant. However, they all serve the same purpose: to cook paella.   <\\\/p>\\n<h4>Polished steel pan<\\\/h4>\\n<p>The most common pan is the polished steel pan. It&#8217;s also the most affordable. Its main drawback is that it rusts over time. Therefore, it must be cleaned properly before use. To limit the appearance of rust, it is essential to clean and dry it thoroughly after each use. Then, apply a light coat of vegetable oil to the steel before storing it.     <\\\/p>\\n<h4>Enameled steel pan<\\\/h4>\\n<p>Like the previous pan, it is made of polished steel. However, it has an additional layer of black enamel, sometimes speckled with white spots. This provides additional protection for the paella pan and limits oxidation. It also makes it easier to clean.   <\\\/p>\\n<h4>Stainless steel pan<\\\/h4>\\n<p>It combines the advantages of the two previous pans. It has a polished steel finish and is rust-proof thanks to its stainless steel. <\\\/p>\\n<p>In some villages and families, you can sometimes find old cast iron pans. They can still be used, but they have many disadvantages (oxidation, weight, etc.) <\\\/p>\\n\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How to maintain your paella pan?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Like any pan, you must take care of it and especially avoid scratching it. <\\\/p>\\n<p>Upon receiving the pan and before using it, boil water in it to remove the thin protective coating applied by the manufacturer to the steel. Manufacturers tend to apply a coating to the pan to prevent oxidation when it is stored in a warehouse. Then, clean it, dry it, and apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to protect it.   <\\\/p>\\n<p>Before each use, the cook cleans it to remove rust and ensure good hygiene. This is especially true if the pan hasn&#8217;t been used for several years! <\\\/p>\\n<p>After use, remove all food residue with soap and a sponge.
