Is Carbon Steel Good for Paella?

Carbon Steel is great for paella. This dish from Spain is traditionally cooked over high heat, and requires a large cooking surface which Carbon Steel Cookware excels at. This high heat and its ability to conduct heat helps achieve socarrat, or the crispy rice that is coveted.

What Is the Difference Between Carbon steel and Stainless Steel?

One of the biggest differences between these two materials is that Carbon Steel requires seasoning. However, both heat well, are versatile, and are great for home cooks.

Traditionally cooked over open fire, paella is best when it balances tender, fluffy rice with crispy edges. Over a flame or on a grill, our Paella Pan translates fire’s heat and intensity into a savory smoky charred flavor. But because our Paella Pan is induction compatible, you’re not limited to the outdoors. On the stove, Carbon Steel’s heat retention is ideal for recreating the intensity of open flame cooking.

Originating in France’s Vosges region, Carbon Steel is the chef’s answer to Cast Iron. Like Cast Iron, seasoned Carbon Steel develops a protective non stick patina that evolves and improves over time.
