BK Black Steel Seasoned Carbon Steel Paella Pan, 15"

I was undertaking my first paella recipe and initially I thought about using a carbon steel frying pan but serving a big party I thought I better move up to a 15-inch pan. That turned out to be a wise choice as I filled this pan to the brim. The paella pan itself is wonderful to work with. It was perfectly seasoned and the heat was very well distributed even though the pan extended well beyond the gas burner it sat on. Best of all, it formed the perfect paella rice crust on the bottom, a dark brown crust with just a touch of carbon. Cleaned up with little effort. If you're going to take on paella, then you want to use the right tools. This pan fits the bill perfectly.

I've grown quite skeptical of carbon steel cookware, mostly because it's much higher maintenance than one is led to assume. I've already given away 2 carbon steel frying pans that simply weren't up to snuff. So I was pretty certain this paella pan would be another fail, especially given the moderate price. It appears to have proven me wrong. It's easy to clean and fairly low maintenance. The heat distribution is pretty good and the large size makes it a versatile solution when you need a bigger pan. Recommended.

About 1/2 the price of a 15" skillet with a long handle. Not flimsy at all! Glad they protected it from warehouse & shipping, no complaints! Excellent quality at an unbelievable excellent price. No stick after first seasoning. Perfect! Highly recommended!

I am very satisfied with this product. I was looking to purchase a similar product from a French manufacturer whose products I am familiar with. I would have purchased that instead but I was deceived by the description by Amazon which stated that this item is made by BK (of Holland) in Germany. I wanted to try that brand. Knowing that BK is outsourced to China I will not buy this brand again. My gripe is that I feel that Amazon manipulated my decision to purchase this item by providing incorrect information on purpose. Does country of origin matter? To me it does. It's called pride of ownership. The four stars is for the product itself.

Bought it two years ago, seasoned it according to directions and hung it on the wall. Kept chosing other pans thinking everything would stick and be a mess. Pulled it out today for Beef Stew and threw some bacon in. It slid around and cook like magic. Then seared beef chunks and the same thing happened.No sticking whatsoever! I love this pan and wish they made a 15 inch skillet so I could purchase it. It's a fantastic pan! Highly recommend!

I chose the 15" pan to use on the 12" element of our radiant glass-top range. The bottom is the perfect size. It's flared sides with a 12" bottom makes it unique in my collection of cast iron and carbon steel. The price reeled me in. On arrival, it felt sturdy and I was happy that the bottom was perfectly flat. I cleaned it per the instructions, rinsed it in boiling water, and lightly oiled it. During the first use, cooking potatoes in olive oil on medium heat, the bottom became a bowl. The edges floated up about a quarter inch all around. I've never had a pan wobble so much. The center point of contact became a hot spot. It took longer and needed more attention to cook the potatoes evenly compared to my other cookware. The pre-seasoning was good, so at least flipping and stirring was easy. And cleanup was easy. The bottom flattened out once it cooled. That much bowing from heat expansion may matter less over a flame, but makes it impractical for a glass cooktop. Money wasted.

I bought this pan for my husband as a Christmas gift. He has always wanted to make a big Paella. It’s his new favorite pan in the kitchen. It’s seasoned up nicely as well. It’s huge and perfect for cooking everything!

High quality. Love the heat retention and cast iron feel.

Parfaite,grande avec une belle hauteur

El producto lo utilice una sola vez y después de lavarse y secarse se óxido, la verdad me decepcionó mucho, es de material parecido a un comal a diferencia que este se oxida, no es lo que describe la página.

Using this pan in a flat top stove, the pan bottom will deform rapidly (on mid-low heat) so it will not sit flat on the stove throughout the cooking process. The non stick is great and is a very useful size

Eine sehr gute Pfanne nicht nur für Paella.

Primer uso, mango agrietado y roto.
