Because this pan is made of stainless steel, it is compatible with most induction cooktops. However, we recommend checking your specific stovetop manual to ensure the base diameter matches your induction zone size.
Yes, the stainless steel build is oven-safe, allowing you to finish your paella in the oven if you prefer a crispier socarrat or need to keep the dish warm before serving.
No, unlike traditional carbon steel paella pans, this stainless steel version does not require seasoning. It is ready to use immediately and is much easier to maintain.
