The pan that makes paella worth making — and everything else worth showing off.

A great paella pan does one thing above all others: it produces soccarat. That deeply caramelized, crisp layer of rice at the bottom of a properly made paella that separates a good dish from an extraordinary one. It requires even, sustained heat across a wide, shallow surface — and heavy-gauge 2mm copper delivers that more consistently and more beautifully than any other material available. This is why paella has always been made in copper, and why the tradition hasn't changed.

But this pan earns its place in the kitchen long before paella night. The wide, shallow profile makes it one of the most versatile pans in the lineup — ideal for crêpes, omelettes, sautéed vegetables, bacon, and anything that benefits from maximum surface contact and even browning. It moves from stovetop to tabletop without hesitation, and it looks extraordinary doing it.

Available in six sizes to cover every occasion: the 6", 8", and 10" are ideal for side dishes, individual servings, and smaller-format cooking. The 12" serves four, the 15" serves six to eight, and the 18" is the pan for the kind of cooking that gathers a crowd. All are built to the same 2mm heavy-gauge standard and finished with a traditional hot-tinned interior — naturally non-stick, non-reactive, and completely free from synthetic coatings. The patented stainless steel handle system is heat-resistant, ergonomic, and multifunctional — built for the weight and width of a fully loaded paella pan without compromising comfort or control.

The tin interior seasons with use, much like cast iron, developing a patina that improves both the non-stick performance and the character of the pan over time. Hand wash, dry immediately with a cotton towel, and it will reward that care for generations.

Why we love it:

• Heavy-gauge 2mm copper delivers the even, sustained heat that produces proper soccarat — the defining feature of great paella
• Wide, shallow profile maximizes surface contact for even browning across the entire pan
• Traditional hot-tinned interior is naturally non-stick, non-reactive, and completely free from PTFE and PFOA
• Tin interior seasons with use — develops a patina that improves performance over time
• Patented stainless steel handles are heat-resistant, ergonomic, and built for the width and weight of a full pan
• Six sizes cover everything from individual side dishes to large-format entertaining
• Stovetop to tabletop without a second thought — one of the most visually striking serving pieces available
• Hand-hammered from heavy-gauge copper — built to heirloom standard

Care notes: Hand wash only. Dry immediately with a cotton towel after washing. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or harsh detergents. Copper will develop a natural patina over time — to restore shine, Wright's Copper Cream is the polish Sertodo recommends.

Native Manor Note: Most paella is made in thin carbon steel or enameled pans that approximate the results. Heavy-gauge copper produces them. The difference shows up most clearly in the soccarat — that bottom layer of caramelized rice that requires even, controlled heat across every inch of the pan simultaneously. Copper is the material that was always used for paella because it was always the best material for it. This pan makes that available to any home kitchen, in six sizes, built to last a lifetime of Sunday cooking.
