Paella pan Neumarker L00-00525

A paella pan divides a wide, shallow cooking surface into separate zones so that rice, seafood and vegetables can be cooked at the same time without mixing. The two partitions in this Neumarker model create three distinct areas, each with its own heat and ingredients, yet all under a single lid or on a single hob. The low sides and broad diameter spread the heat evenly across the base, allowing the rice to develop its characteristic crust while the liquid evaporates at a steady rate.

The pan is placed on a gas or induction hob large enough to cover its 650 mm diameter. Each partition is filled with the required ingredients—stock, rice, meat or fish—and the heat is adjusted so that the outer zones finish at the same time as the centre. The operator monitors the liquid level, stirring or turning the pan as needed to keep the heat uniform. Once the rice is cooked and the crust formed, the pan is removed from the heat and served directly from the table or transferred to a warmer.

The pan is formed from a single sheet of metal, giving a seamless base and partitions that run the full depth of the 100 mm sides. The material conducts heat quickly and evenly, preventing hot spots that could scorch the rice. The weight of 14 kg ensures the pan sits firmly on the hob and does not warp under repeated heating and cooling.

Cleaning follows the same steps as for any large metal pan: the partitions are scrubbed to remove any crust, and the base is wiped to prevent residue building up. The seamless construction means there are no corners where food can lodge, so the pan dries quickly and is ready for the next service.
