When you're hosting a larger number of guests, it's essential to use a pan designed to ensure even cooking even over large surfaces. The 80 cm Garcima was created with this in mind: to provide enough space to distribute the rice in an even layer, promoting proper evaporation of the broth and the formation of the traditional socarrat , the golden crust that makes authentic Valencian paella unique.
Made of carbon steel, also known as ferro, this pan stands out for its rapid heat-up and excellent heat transfer properties. In addition to classic Valencian paella, it can be used to prepare seafood paella, mixed paella, fideuà, risotto, meat, vegetables, and numerous traditional Mediterranean recipes.
With its 80 cm diameter, it can serve up to approximately 25 people and is particularly suitable for private parties, festivals, catering events, barbecues, agritourism events, and food festivals. It is compatible with large gas burners for paella, barbecues, embers, and open flames, always using a heat source appropriate for the size of the pan. The sturdy steel side handles ensure a stable grip during handling, even when the pan is completely full.
The Garcima pan is made of carbon steel, a traditional material highly regarded for its cooking performance, but which requires some simple care to maintain its longevity. Before using it for the first time, it's advisable to remove the thin protective layer applied during manufacturing by thoroughly washing the surface and drying it immediately.
After each use, it's best to clean it manually with hot water, avoiding harsh detergents and dishwasher safe. Once completely dry, it's a good idea to apply a very light coating of cooking oil to the entire interior surface to protect the iron from moisture and prevent oxidation.
Over time, the material will naturally darken, developing a characteristic surface patina. This is completely normal and is one of the hallmarks of traditional carbon steel paella pans. Proper maintenance will help maintain high performance for many years, even with frequent use during events and large-scale preparations.
