Product Description
The Pujadas Black Series paella pan is a professional-grade cookware piece designed for authentic paella preparation and broad stovetop cooking in commercial food service. At 380mm across, it sits in a practical mid-range size — large enough to produce a credible portion yield for table service, without the unwieldy footprint of the largest catering pans. It is supplied without a lid, which is standard practice for paella cookware where an open cook and visible socarrat development are part of the process.
Pujadas is a well-regarded Spanish cookware manufacturer with a long history of supplying professional kitchens, and the Black Series reflects that background — built to handle the repeated thermal cycling of a busy service kitchen. The pan performs consistently across gas burners and commercial paella burners, distributing heat across the wide, shallow base that the dish demands. The dark finish is functional as well as aesthetic, helping the pan reach and hold cooking temperatures efficiently.
From an operational standpoint, the pan suits kitchens where paella features regularly on the menu — whether as a standalone dish, a sharing plate, or a catering or hospitality buffet service. It is also a practical choice for rice dishes, shallow braising, and large-batch sautéing where a wide cooking surface is an advantage.
- Wide shallow base promotes even heat distribution across the cooking surface
- Open design suits traditional paella technique and socarrat development
- Robust construction handles the heat demands of regular commercial service
- Practical for rice dishes, shallow braising, and large-portion sautéing
If you are building out a paella menu at scale or need guidance on matching pan size to burner output or portion yield, the team is happy to help you work through the options before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A 380mm pan is a practical choice for producing two to four generous portions of paella, depending on the recipe and accompaniments. For larger sharing plates or higher-volume service where multiple portions need to come out simultaneously, a larger pan or multiple pans would be more appropriate.
- The pan is designed for use on gas burners, including dedicated commercial paella burners, which give the wide, even flame spread that the shallow base requires. If you are planning to use it on induction or solid-top ranges, it is worth checking compatibility before purchasing, as not all paella pans are suited to those surfaces.
- Like most traditional paella pans, the Black Series benefits from an initial seasoning before first use to condition the surface and develop non-stick properties over time. Avoid prolonged soaking and harsh abrasives when cleaning, and ensure the pan is thoroughly dried after washing to maintain the finish and prevent surface deterioration.
