The Samuel Groves 35cm carbon steel paella pan is a straightforward, well-made piece of cookware designed for professional use. Carbon steel has long been a preferred material in commercial kitchens — it heats quickly and evenly, develops a natural non-stick surface with use, and holds up well to the demands of repeated daily service. This pan comes pre-seasoned, which means it is ready to use immediately without the initial preparation that unseasoned carbon steel requires.

In a busy service environment, carbon steel performs reliably across high heat. The material responds quickly to temperature changes, which gives cooks good control over the cooking process — useful when producing paella or similar dishes to order. The pan handles well on the hob and transfers directly to the oven where the cooking process requires it.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

  • Compatible with all hob types, including induction
  • Pre-seasoned surface reduces preparation time before first use
  • Oven-safe construction supports versatile cooking methods
  • Carbon steel builds seasoning with regular use, improving release over time
  • Straightforward to maintain with correct care

One consideration worth noting is that carbon steel requires proper drying and occasional light oiling after cleaning to prevent rust. It is not suited to dishwasher use and should be hand-washed. Operators unfamiliar with carbon steel care should factor this into their cleaning protocols.

The 35cm size is well suited to individual portion service or small-batch cooking. Higher-volume operations producing paella for larger tables regularly may find a bigger pan more practical. This pan is a sensible choice for restaurants, tapas bars, or event caterers where paella or similar dishes feature on the menu.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your service style or volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently asked questions

How do I maintain a carbon steel paella pan in a professional kitchen?

Carbon steel requires hand-washing rather than dishwasher cleaning, and the pan should be dried thoroughly after each wash to prevent rust. A light coat of oil applied before storage helps maintain the seasoning and protects the surface between uses. With consistent care, the seasoning builds over time and the pan performs better the more it is used.

Is a 35cm pan large enough for restaurant service?

A 35cm pan is well suited to individual portions or small-batch cooking, making it practical for à la carte service where paella is prepared to order. For operations serving larger tables or producing paella in bigger quantities, a larger pan would be the more efficient choice.

Does this pan work on induction hobs?

Yes, carbon steel is magnetic and fully compatible with induction hobs, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic cooking surfaces. This makes it a versatile option for kitchens where hob types vary or may change.
