ILSA GARCIMA La Ideal Polished carbon steel Valenciana paella pan

GARCIMA LA IDEAL Valencian paella pan made of polished carbon steel. Garcima is a renowned Spanish maker of quality paella pans. Based in Alacuas (Valencia), where it has been crafting its pans since 1940, Garcima paella pans feature a special bottom that guarantees the delicate, even cooking that distinguishes the original Valencian paella. The range includes traditional polished pans and enamelled pans with a contemporary stone-effect finish. All the pans are induction safe, if the proper steps are followed. Garcima paella pans are primarily made of carbon steel—an ideal metal for maintaining the constant temperature needed for cooking a Valencian paella to perfection. Besides paellas, the pans are also ideal for sautéing mussels and shellfish, pan-frying meat, fish and vegetables and frying chips and fritters. A characteristic of carbon steel is that it keeps the temperature of the pan constant throughout cooking, enabling a tasty crust to form.
