Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Cue the flamenco dancers and bring on the sangria! This wide, shallow pan is an absolute must for creating the traditional Spanish rice dish known as paella. (In fact, the pan doesn't take its name from the dish--the dish takes its name from the pan.) Like all of the products in Calphalon's commercial hard-anodized series, this pan distributes heat efficiently, so foods brown quickly and cook evenly throughout. Unlike cookware coated with a synthetic nonstick finish, the hard-anodized surface won't chip, crack, or peel if you use a metal spatula, and it doesn't react with acidic foods such as citrus or tomato. Paella is a festive food, perfect for celebrations of any kind, and this handsome, sturdy pan makes a dramatic serving piece. But there's no need to limit the paella pan's uses. It's great for cooking other rice dishes such as risotto or jambalaya. You can also braise and simmer seafood on its wide-bottomed surface, toss pasta with sauce for a party, or cook up puffed Dutch pancakes to impress your brunch guests. Given its beauty and utility, it would be a shame to pull out this piece of cookware just a few times a year. --Mary Park

Excellent Paella Pan,
By Michela (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 16-Inch Paella Pan with Lid (Kitchen)
This Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 16-Inch Paella Pan with Lid is excellent for use in making paella. There are other paella pans (from Calphalon and other manufacturers) that are available, but they are usually smaller in diameter, and often the lids are sold separately. I have used this paella pan for different recipes for paella, and they all have turned out beautifully. The smaller paella pans are not large enough to contain all the ingredients, whether it is for a paella valenciana or for a seafood paella. This specialty pan is an investment, but I think paella is one of the best dishes to make for a party or for a special dinner.
