In this case, though, I am giving this organization a one. My plan is to give it a star rating and hope that people who pay attention to negatives will catch The pan shouldn't rust when not used properly because it has no problem rusting. Yes, it rusts just like cast iron since it is made of carbon steel, which is a steel made of 97% For improved performance, the metal must be seasoned to prevent rust. It is a known fact that these facts have existed since the Iron Age began, how did so many people miss out on this information? There are so many negative reviews that it sounds like the metal will rust after a couple of moments of washing. You can't possibly believe that. The coating won't rust if you wash it (as instructed) and wash it again as soon as possible. If you would like to see how seasoning carbon steel works, just take a look at a few YouTube videos on it. As for the cooking oil, I prefer flaxseed oil, but you can also use shortening or any food oil. Neither the oil must be organic nor must be healthy It will be carbonized, and then you will just have a coating of polymer-based polymer In the same way as Carbon reacts with oxygen, making it an attractive and naturally noncombustible substance Cooking with a stick of butter. It turns out that there are some people who "rescue" decades-old information Cast iron skillets neglected for years are rediscovered You can resell the fruits and vegetables after they have been season. This pan would have rusted if you threw it away. I urge you to go and be one with your shame (and collect a refund for your education).
My mom used to use these pans for paella when I was a child, but we had gas. Purchasing one of these for a stovetop, and it is my go-to cooking pan. I appreciate the space to stir around the food, and I appreciate the fact that the center of the pan functions as both the cooking area over the fire, and the edge functions as a warming With gas, the heat will be distributed very evenly, whereas on a flat ceramic the heat distribution will be less, as the bottom of the paella dish is curvy. Having said that, as a ceramic hob user, I've only used this paella dish for cooking, whether I'm cooking steak, chicken or stir-fry. This is how I have maintained it since I bought it, and the results have been.
I have made 3 Spanish paellas with it. Having cooked Spanish Paella with it three times on this, it has proven to be good. After cleaning it, you will need to coat the pan with some vegetable oil to prevent any rusting, this is easy to do. Simply apply the vegetable oil inside the pan and make sure it goes all the way around it. The best way to clean this pan and any other pan without scrubbing is to add some white vinegar and water to a pot and bring to a boil. The vinegar will help lift anything stuck on it. So long as you are willing to oil it after every use, that is a good idea.
purchased the 18" version of the same pan a few months earlier and have been delighted with it so much that I got this one as well and have used it for There is enough food to feed 8 people in this pan I think it would comfortably feed 10 people, depending on how much you put in. Then I can easily feed 25 or more people between the two. When you receive this pan, there are a few steps that aren't immediately obvious, and these must be followed before you can make paella for the first time. The problem is. This pan needs to be thoroughly washed with extremely hot water and with lots of soap. Make sure you flood the pan and wash the inside and outside with a stiff cloth or 3M cleaning pad. The factory film can be wiped off and should be removed, but it takes more than a quick rinse to get rid of. The pan is protected in some way on the way to you to ensure that it's as safe as possible during production. The addition of the liquid to your diet is not going to make you sick, but it doesn't have to be in there. Before placing the pan in the oven, make sure to dry it immediately, preferably with a little heat, to remove any moisture. When the pan is dry, rub a very thin coat of shortening on it with a paper towel as soon as it is The Crisco I use is a good brand. After that, use a dry towel to clean off the shortening residue from the shoes. There will be a slight film left behind. It is important to do this both inside and outside of the pan to ensure the frying pan is well seasoned and protected from the elements, and be sure to do this every single time the pan is used for the next 5 years. The first time you use it, you use it 10 times. After a couple of months, it will have already gained some seasoning, and you won't have to do it as frequently. It is still nice to put some on your pans periodically, especially if you won't be using them for a long time. -This pan is pretty heavy duty and will hold up for your lifetime and more so long as you don't smash it. With a little discipline, you are likely to be able to use this pan for a long time. This pan has some dimples on the bottom, which is fairly typical of top-quality It has not been thoroughly researched by me, but I have heard from several sources that it aids in the creation of Paella is a delicious, scrumptious dish created by the heavenly, sinfully delicious crust that forms at the bottom of the pan when the liquid is rendered and the rice has reached peak tenderness. Those eager to learn paella or those who want a high quality pan are highly recommended to try this.
The pan has red paint around the rim, as well as a scratch on the bottom cook surface. bottom of the pan is rounded on the bottom of the item and does not sit flat on my glass cook top! The pot was washed and seasoned according to directions, and it still has a strong chemical and plastic smell that I don't think is safe when cooking on! My only complaint would be that I received a defective possibly used pan instead of a new one! There was a quality control failure with this item. As I can't find a way to contact the company for a replacement or solution, I must share this warning with others you may be stuck with a defective product! A little update It was extremely difficult to cook in this pan and it does not sit flat! I tried using it and it wobbled so much it was nearly impossible! When I was cooking risotto, the pan actually rusted while it was cooking! I just found out that this is a super bad and defective pan. My issue with this pan is that EVERYTHING STICKS terrible! It is so depressing that I keep trying to use it to save the money I spent! This is a piece of junk I believe the company is a scam as well, since I am very familiar with carbon steel and cast iron. There is no hope and I am throwing it Such a pity.
