Customer Reviews of Sitram Catering 3.7 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Paella Pan

Versatile Sear and Bake Pan
At first I hesitated on adding this "paella" pan to my Sitram Catering Collection. But, I was looking for a pan with a wide opening (about 12") that had low sides (about 3 inches) and had short (eared) handles (did not need to toss or shake, and preferred to conserve on cooktop space). I also wanted a copper bottom since it helped brown meat better. This was sort of a pan that I would use for chicken parmigiana, chicken cordon blue, beef rolls or something that you would sear and finish in the oven. <

>To my surprise, this "paella" pan just became my perfect pan for doing just that - sear and finish in the oven. It is easier to work with inside the oven compared to a saute pan or skillet (since these have long handles). <

>Sitram needs to change the name of this pan because there's a lot better use to this pan than making paella. It's a great pan!

Too Small for Paella!
Sitram is an excellent brand for commercial cookware. However, a 12-inch paella pan is too small for most paella recipes. I use a Calphalon Hard Anodized 16-inch paella pan, and it is always filled to the brim no matter the type of paella that I am making. So, unless one is making dinner for two, I recommend a larger paella pan. Since making paella is a lot of work (and fun, too), I usually make it when entertaining a group. The paella pan can be used for more than paella, such as for making dutch pancakes, latkes, or party-size au gratin dishes. These paella pans do not come with lids, so one might want to buy one separately.
