It is designed for direct-heat cooking over open fires, barbecues, and paella burners rather than conventional hob rings, and at 11kg it is a serious piece of cookware built for repeated heavy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron takes longer to come up to temperature than lighter materials, but once it reaches heat it distributes it consistently across the cooking surface and holds it well. That thermal stability matters in batch cooking — when cold proteins hit the surface, the pan does not drop temperature as sharply as thinner alternatives. The ridged surface produces clean char marks and allows fat to drain away, making it well suited to searing meats and robust vegetables over high direct heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractical advantages for outdoor catering and live-fire use include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong heat retention reduces temperature loss between batches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRidged surface drains fat and produces consistent char marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnamel coating protects the iron and simplifies cleaning after service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo substantial loop handles allow confident lifting and repositioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with paella burners, open flames, and barbecue grills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 520mm diameter requires a suitably sized burner to heat evenly across the full surface — a heat source that is too small will result in a hot centre and cooler outer edges. Allow adequate warm-up time before service. This pan is not intended for standard commercial hob rings; it belongs on a burner rig or outdoor cooking station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is well suited to paella events, outdoor catering operations, and live-fire cooking stations where large-batch searing or grilling is required. Operators working with smaller portion sizes or in more confined kitchen environments may find a smaller diameter pan from the same range more practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are putting together a paella station or live-fire setup and want to make sure your burner and pan combination will work for the volumes you are cooking, we are happy to talk it through.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garcima","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46834336694589,"sku":"DM722","price":124.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/5234f618fafd32f0633436da7e9089f7.jpg?v=1692688627"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/collections\/garcima-sl-enamelled.oembed","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
