paella pan
Wide rice vessel
A paella pan is a wide, shallow, round metal pan with sloped sides and two handles, designed for cooking paella—the Spanish rice dish.
The broad surface allows rice to cook in a thin layer, developing the prized crispy bottom called socarrat.
Traditional versions are made of carbon steel or enameled steel.
