Gas burner for paella pan Vaello REF1430X

A gas burner built to heat wide, shallow pans evenly across its 30 cm diameter. The broad flame pattern spreads heat outward from the centre, preventing hot spots that scorch food at the edges while leaving the middle undercooked. This makes it suited to dishes like paella, where rice must cook uniformly across the entire surface without stirring.

The burner operates on a simple principle: gas flows through a valve to a ring of jets beneath the pan. When ignited, the jets produce a continuous circle of flame that rises to meet the pan's base. The size of the flame is controlled by adjusting the gas supply, allowing the operator to raise or lower the heat quickly in response to the cooking process.

To use the burner, place it on a stable, level surface outdoors. Connect the gas supply to the inlet valve, ensuring the connection is secure. Open the valve on the gas cylinder, then use the control knob on the burner to ignite the jets. Adjust the flame to the desired intensity and place the pan on the burner. Monitor the cooking process, adjusting the flame as needed to maintain the correct temperature. Once cooking is complete, turn off the gas supply at the cylinder and allow the burner to cool before handling.

The construction consists of cold-laminated steel, which provides strength and resistance to warping under high heat. The steel is coated with an enamel finish, protecting it from rust and making it easier to clean. The enamel also resists staining from food spills and grease, which is common in outdoor cooking environments.

The control knob adjusts the gas flow, regulating the size of the flame. This allows precise temperature control, essential for dishes that require consistent heat over a long period.

The 30 cm diameter provides a stable platform for large pans, distributing weight evenly to prevent tipping. The compact size makes it easy to transport and store, while still accommodating pans wide enough for professional catering portions.

Cleaning involves wiping the enamel surface with a damp cloth to remove food residue and grease. The burner should be stored in a dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the steel or gas connections. Regular inspection of the gas hose and connections is recommended to ensure safe operation.

This burner is designed for outdoor use, where ventilation and space allow for safe gas combustion. It is not intended for indoor use or in enclosed areas where gas build-up could pose a hazard.
