Garcima La Ideal Polished Steel Paella Pan 60cm

Very good pan at a reasonable price, worked perfectly well, didn't stick, even on the fire. There is a factory anti rust coating on it which they advise you to boil water in it to remove but i found it wasn't enough and needed a scourer and an abrasive cleaner. Next time i'll try the ash and water paste trick to protect the bottom on the fire because it's a job to remove the soot. After washing i dry it 15 mins in the oven before oiling, it helps. Lemon juice removes the brown marks. It takes a little looking after which is fine as I don't use it every day. Plenty big enough size for 6, we had leftovers. Not flat enough for a ceramic hob.

Great pan but requires some effort to keep in tip top condition. Follow instructions before 1st use - fill with water and bring to a rolling boil. Carefully discard the hot water and thoroughly dry I used a T Towel and kitchen paper towels. BE CAREFUL DISCARDING THE HOT WATER IS VERY TRICKY TO HANDLE AND AVOID SCALDS. Then you need to season it by rubbing a very thin coating of oil all over it inside and out (avocado oil or grapeseed oil is best). Then is ready for use. Soak for 30 mins after use the clean and always thoroughly dry and re-season pan. I always store by wrapping in brown paper and a plastic bag. I know all this is a lot of work but my pan is still in good condition after a few uses and no rust. P.S I got all these tips from research on the Internet.

Good product. Not suitable for induction as too curved. Will show rust if not oiled. Cheap chips and does the job.

No issue with the product, but the item I’ve received isn’t new! The packaging is open and the pan is scratched, not particularly happy with amazon on this occasion!

This gets tarnished very quickly, BUT that's the idea! Having puzzled over the setup (I tried to clean all the oil out!) it became evident that I was being a bit of a tool. Once underway, it blackens and starts to look like a "proper chef's pan" in one use - the resulting paella is superb (even if I do say so myself) and you can make a LOT with this. Great stuff!

Bit disappointed as the paella burnt easily, not very heavy, quite a light pan

Great Paella Pan, and great value. Simply clean with boiling soapy water for a few minutes, dry and then the important part: SEASON IT! .. to prevent it going rusty, and to also add a non-stick (/less-stick) coating. Do this using vegetable oil by browning and turning the pan in thin layers over a high heat (I used three burners simultaneously as mines a 55” pan!) and wiping off using kitchen towel. N.B. There’ll be A LOT of smoke!! The 2nd photo shows the cooked Paella (which was slowly turned/cooked over the three burners adding in the seafood towards the end), and then the 3rd shows the pan (after an all night soak on the hob) after having replenished the seasoning using the above process, but this time more selectively using one burner to ‘patch in’ & brown the areas needed. Do this after-use every time and the pan will gradually gain a better seasoned coating.

OK, smaller than expected but suits 2 people, which it is for. I am delighted as its light weight, being steel, it will need Oiling after use, otherwise it will rust. I use mine on the bbq in summer with foil over the paella

Excelente producto, fuerte, resistente, asas firmes, muy buen acabado. Puedes cocinar en ella paellas hasta para 40 personas, pero utilizada a 1/3 de su capacidad, para que el arroz no tenga más de 1cm de espesor y logres el auténtico sabor de la paella y un buen socarrat... Es ideal para cocinar para unas 15 personas.... EXCELENTE PRIDUCTO...

Le produit est conforme à sa description, de bonne qualité
