That layer improves with every meal you prepare. More sustainable than sustainable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCarbon steel: the choice of professionals\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy do professional chefs in Spain - and more and more home cooks worldwide - choose carbon steel? Because it reacts. Carbon steel heats up rapidly, responds immediately to temperature changes, and can handle extreme heat without warping. That’s exactly what you need for a paella: even, intense heat that steams the rice, reduces the broth, and ultimately forms that essential socarrat on the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ø 32 cm pan with a capacity of 2 litres is the ideal size for a hearty portion for two to three persons - or a tasty dish for two with enough for a delightful second round. The low profile of 57 mm also ensures optimal evaporation, so your rice cooks perfectly and the flavours concentrate beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew to carbon steel? No problem. Seasoning is done once and then the pan does the rest. Wash off the beeswax with warm water, dry the pan thoroughly, place it on moderate heat, rub it with a thin layer of oil, and let it warm up. Done. From that moment, the transformation begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom stove to table: how to use this pan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two stainless steel handles are not only practical - they make this pan a real eye-catcher on the table. Because paella is served as the Spaniards do: right in the pan, in the middle of the table, where everyone serves themselves. That’s dining together as it’s meant to be. Those two handles give you the grip you need to safely lift the pan - even when it’s well filled - off the stove or out of the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yes, the oven is also an option. Want to let your paella rest covered or give the top a bit more colour? Just place the pan in the oven. The same goes for the barbecue - because a paella over charcoal gives a smoky depth to the dish that no other cooking appliance can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter use, maintenance is simple but important. Rinse the pan with warm water, dry it immediately (carbon steel rusts if left wet), and rub it with a thin layer of oil. This protects the patina you’ve built up and ensures the pan is ready for the next culinary session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher? Never.\u003c\/strong\u003e It destroys in one go the work of dozens of meals. Warm water, drying cloth, a drop of oil - that’s all this pan needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e💡 Cookinglife Tip: how to make the perfect socarrat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe socarrat is the holy grail of paella - and with carbon steel, it’s achievable. Towards the end of the cooking time, let the broth reduce completely. Then briefly raise the heat and listen: you’ll hear a soft, crackling sound. That’s the rice starting to caramelise at the bottom. After about 1 to 2 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and let it rest for a moment. Tap on the crust - it should sound solid. And then: enjoy. You’ve just made a real Spanish socarrat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e De Buyer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral B Element\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paella pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 cm (320 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 litres (2000 ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length (incl. handles):\u003c\/strong\u003e 430 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2534 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon steel with beeswax coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-stick coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e No coating - natural patina after seasoning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePFAS-free:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two stainless steel handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for gas:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for electric:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for ceramic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for halogen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for induction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOven safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for barbecue:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No - hand wash required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLid included:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime on material and manufacturing defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the package\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDe Buyer Paella Pan Mineral B Element ø 32 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou just need to gather the ingredients, turn on the music, and invite your friends or family to the table.
