Machika Carbon Steel Pan, Premium Paella Pan for Perfect Socarrat, Versatile Carbon Steel Skillet for Indoor/Outdoor Cooking, Convex Bottom Design, 22 inches/16 Servings

This so-called Paella Pan RUINED my dinner! Close to $200 worth of fresh seafood, expensive specialty rice and spices mostly burnt before everyone's eyes, because this piece of crap pan is so thin and cheaply made that it does not distribute heat evenly but it does burn quickly in the middle. To make up for all this waste of money, energy, time, and great embarrassment, all that Amazon did for me was compensate me with a $10 coupon.You have been warned. If you order anything from this brand, you might as well just take a few hundred bucks in cash, and dump it in a trash can

I received this paella pan last Thursday (8/27) for a paella on Friday (8/28) as you can see in the picture I followed their instructions for before use and that was how it came out, It had a weird metal smell and anyways I used it to give it a try... well as you can see after ONLY 1 USE this is how it is. Is the worst quality I have ever encounters in a paella pan, I ordered because it says made in Spain but I could gladly bought a $10 dollar one with better results. No thank you, this is going back!

First off, not sure how Amazon can have business with such vendors with terrible cheap product. But NEVER again will I attempt to order any type of pot or pan through Amazon because this absolutely made me look bad & gave me major anxiety !!I ordered this pan to make a Paella for my moms surprise 60th birthday. I have an electric stove top & it didn’t mention that perhaps it wouldn’t work on this kind of stove top. 10 mins in of cooking THE RICE STARTED TO STICK AND BURN! my aunt and I panicked (because that smokey smell sticks to the food) we thought quick to transfer it to another pan and set this paella pan to the side. I didn’t even get to use this cheap pan thoroughly. By the end of the night we took it off the stove to only find out THE WHOLE THING HAD RUSTED IN A MATTER OF 5 hours !!! it stained my stove top & the whole entire pan oxidized immediately. It almost grossed me out to think I had the food on that at one point. Sucks the presentation of the paella looked really cheap for all that money spent on that seafood for a special occasion. Anyway this is my advise & hope that someone reads the reviews before they purchase this. Cause clearly I didn’t.

Completely satisfied with this product. It performs exactly as the manufacturer, vendor, and other high-rating users described. It fits my stovetop burner well and cooks food evenly across the pan. We made paella last night - the recipe was for 4-to-6 servings - we added extra shrimp - and the pan held everything without any overflow. Followed the directions for prepping the pan before use and for cleaning and storing after use. (I used the same technique as for my cast iron skillets - after hand washing and drying, put the pan in the oven upsidedown, turn it up to 300 degrees, and when it reaches temp turn off heat and let pan sit in oven for 20 or so minutes - pan will be completely dry and cool enough to handle).

Made Paella using my fire pit over charcoals on a Steve Raichlan cast iron 4 inch Tuscan grill. Worked great. When when I needed a lower heat I used 4 bricks to raise the Paella pan away from the coals and fire. I followed Tyler Florences recipe from food network and doubled the recipe since I had a bigger pan. It was a hit!!

Absolutely love it! I purchased it for a camping trip and was able to cook meals for 20 people easily on this pan over an open fire. I know it's not its exact intended purpose, but it certainly did the trick for us.

Well made paella pan, cooks evenly my only complain is that it gets rusted quickly. It must get treated before using or after cooking but no instructions were included with purchase.To avoid rust from surfacing, I treated the pan with butter right after I washed and dry throughly, then I stored the pan in a dry place.

I purchased the 20 inch pan for a camping trip and easily feed 7 hungry guys with about a third or more of the paella left over. I am sure it would feed 12-14 (if some were smaller eaters). I used 4 cups of rice (1/2 cup of rice per person rule) and seemed like the right amout for this pan if your going to load it with sausage and seafood like I do. Used it over a charcoal fire, heated evenly and was able to crisp the bottom of the rice without burning it. The presentation is awesome in this large pan! It is a sturdy, well made pan and I know I will be using it for years to come. It is uncoated steel, so I washed it by hand, scraped out solids with a wooded scraper and water, dried it thoroughly, and oiled it with olive oil before storing it.

When the pan arrived I thought it was lightweight, but it cooked a good meal. We washed it, put it away - then noticed that it's ALREADY starting to rust! After one use! I re-read the instructions that came with it that say to oil the pan, wrap it in paper, and store it in a plastic bag after washing, so they are clearly expecting this to happen. Buyer beware. I wish I had paid closer attention to the reviews, please learn from my mistake. I'm very upset that we wasted our money on this pan.

Only used once and cleaned right away, but the colour already changed from silver to yellowish. Not quite sure if that is supposed to be or the product is not very good. I’m thinking about return it but considering this price, not a bad price at all if the color change is normal.

Great product....never wore my first one out, it's for 4 people, so purchased the 2 person one to have on hand.

Es un producto de buena calidad y súper práctico para cocinar en casa.
