This carbon steel paella pan must be seasoned several times before use. Initially, boil water in the pan, wash it with water and detergent, dry it immediately and apply a light coating of cooking oil to the interior. For pre-seasoning, add approximately 1 mm of oil, heat it to its smoke point, allow the pan to cool, remove the oil and wipe the surface before heating the empty pan again for two minutes.
After each use, wash the pan, dry it thoroughly and lightly oil the surface to help protect it from rust and oxidation. Store it in a dry place and never leave it to air-dry.
