What is Paella?
Originating from Spain, paella is a traditional rice dish celebrated for its rich flavors, colorful ingredients, and signature texture. Cooked in a wide, shallow pan, paella allows rice to absorb broth and spices evenly while developing the coveted socarrat—the crispy, caramelized layer at the bottom that defines a perfect cook. Traditionally made over an open flame, paella is as much about the process as it is the meal itself, bringing people together around the fire for a shared experience. What makes the Kamado Joe Karbon Steel™ Paella Pan unique is its ability to deliver that same authentic, fire-cooked flavor with even greater control and versatility. Crafted from durable karbon steel, it heats quickly and evenly across the entire surface—ideal for developing texture, depth, and smoke-kissed flavor. Whether you're preparing a classic paella or experimenting with other dishes, this pan is designed to thrive over charcoal heat, blending tradition with modern craftsmanship.
