The gas burner in this set is from FlamesVLC, a specialist paella gas burner manufacturer from Valencia. Their patented pilot system means that once one ring has been lit, any of the rings will automatically re-light once being turned off and back on again. The flame cutoff valve will not allow gas to flow unless the gas burner has been lit and will automatically cut the gas supply should all flames be extinguished.
This makes the gas burner complaint for all indoor and outdoor environments. With the largest 70cm pan, this is suitable for serving over 25 portions of paella making it perfect for parties or small-scale catering.
- 60cm Paella Pan 15-16 main course portions, up to 19 tapas size
- 65cm Paella Pan 17-19 main course portions, up to 22 tapas size
- 70cm Paella Pan 18-21 main course portions, up to 25 tapas size
** Important Note: We offer a service to crimp the regulator on the gas hose and burner. This a very strong connection, but will not have been leak tested. As always, check for any gas leaks using soapy water around all connections before lighting.
Polished Steel & Enamelled Steel Paella Pan Serving & Sizing Guide
Paella pans are traditionally sized by their top diameter, with the base being slightly smaller due to the pan's sloping sides. Choosing the right pan size is crucial for cooking paella, as an overfilled pan is a common mistake that can ruin the dish. Below, we’ve provided detailed information to help you select the perfect pan.

Main Course vs Tapas Portions
Each pan is labeled by the manufacturer with the number of "Raciones" (tapas-sized portions) it can serve. However, in Spain, paella pans are rarely used to serve the number of portions indicated. For example, a 50cm pan is marked for 14 tapas portions but is typically used for about 8 main course servings (or fewer). Since this sizing convention is standard across Spanish manufacturers, we’ve added a column for main course servings to give a more accurate idea of the pan’s capacity.
It’s better to underfill a paella pan than to overfill it. A thin layer of paella (up to about 1cm deep) cooks and tastes better. As a rule of thumb, the minimum number of main course portions is roughly half of the tapas portions listed. For example, a 50cm pan with a maximum of 8 main course portions would have a minimum of 6–7 portions (14 tapas portions ÷ 2).
Even heat distribution is essential, especially during the final stages of cooking when the rice is absorbing the liquid. The flame doesn’t need to cover the entire base, but a small, concentrated heat source in the center should be avoided. A standard gas hob can accommodate pans up to 36cm (or 38cm, depending on burner size). Larger pans can be used if they span multiple burners, but you’ll need to move the pan (not stir the paella!) during cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
Important Note: Traditional paella pans are designed for gas hobs or open fires. If you’re cooking on an electric stove or AGA, you’ll need one of our flat-bottomed paella pans for optimal results.
