Overview
Not a delicate pan, this Garcima Pata Negra is extra-thick, heavy-duty carbon steel meant for restaurant kitchens and hard use at home. The eighteen inch size fits over two closely spaced standard burners and works on all kinds of grills.
Heavy steel suits cooks who push a pan hard, and the pamphlet that ships with it adds recipes and care instructions. Rusting is the maintenance burden, handled with a dry and a film of oil. Oven fit varies, and the description says to measure first.
Who it's for
Home cooks with a roomy range or a grill who cook paella for six to eight and want a restaurant-style pan. Small-kitchen owners should check burner spacing and oven width before ordering.
Pros and cons
- Extra-thick heavy-duty carbon steel
- No coating on the cooking surface
- Works on all types of grills
- Pamphlet with recipes and care tips
- Needs drying and oiling after washing
- May not fit some ovens
- Hand wash only
Performance notes
Extra-thick carbon steel spreads heat from two burners across the whole pan, which a wide paella needs. With no coating, bare steel rusts unless dried right after washing and rubbed inside with vegetable oil. Rust that does form comes off with a few passes of steel wool.
