Family paella burner kit T-300 with 46 cm pan and windshield Flames VLC

Flames T-300 paella burner kit with 46 cm Garcima paella pan

The family Flames T-300 paella burner kit is the one we recommend most to anyone buying their first paella burner: a 30 cm burner rated at 8 kW, a 46 cm enamelled Garcima paella pan, adjustable legs, windshield, 30 mbar gas kit and spatula. It gives 3 or 4 servings of thin-layer rice (up to 12 tasting portions), which is the real size of most weekend family meals.

The whole kit is made in Valencia: the burner, legs and windshield by Flames VLC (Alginet) and the pan and gas kit by Garcima. We have been selling paella burners in Valencia since 1977 and we have sized the set so that the flame covers the diameter of the pan, which is what decides whether the rice cooks the same in the centre and at the edge.

What this kit includes

• Flames T-300 paella burner, 30 cm, 1 ring, for butane/propane gas (8 kW)
• 46 cm enamelled Valencian paella pan by Garcima
• Set of long adjustable Flames legs
• Modular Flames windshield for pans up to 70 cm
• 30 mbar gas kit (regulator, approved hose and clamps)
• Stainless steel paella spatula

Who is the T-300 kit for?

For a family of 3 or 4 and for anyone starting out: a single 30 cm ring is easy to regulate and the 46 cm pan is the best-selling size in our Valencia shop for home use. If in summer you gather 8 people on the terrace, step up to the two-ring T-380.

How many servings does this kit give?

With the 46 cm pan you get 3 or 4 servings of thin-layer rice, which is how paella is served in Valencia, or up to 12 tasting portions as part of a menu. The T-300 burner also takes pans of other sizes, so you can extend the kit later without changing the burner.

Which gas bottle and which gas do I need?

The T-300 burner runs on bottled butane or propane (29/37 mbar). The kit includes a 30 mbar regulator, the approved hose and the clamps: you only have to connect the bottle. For natural gas, contact us before buying.

Do you want it for another country?

If you are going to use the kit outside Spain, the burner is built specifically for your country: Flames prepares it with the gas connection approved at destination and with the manual and labels in your language (French, German or English depending on the country). To order it we need two details: the country of use and the type of gas (bottled butane/propane or natural gas; in Germany and Austria always propane at 50 mbar). This made-to-order build adds a few days to the delivery time. Please note that on orders shipped outside Spain the gas kit (hose, clamps and regulator) is not included, because the regulator and hose depend on each country's regulations; the rest of the kit is shipped complete. Tell us the country and gas in the order comment or write to us before buying.

Flames or Garcima? Differences from the equivalent kit

It is the direct equivalent of the 30 cm flat Garcima kit with 46 cm pan: same pan size, with height-adjustable legs instead of fixed legs. Both are Valencian manufacturers with a 3-year guarantee; the choice depends on the type of flame you prefer: a single ring on Flames, burners in a line on Garcima. You can compare it with the 30 cm flat Garcima kit with 46 cm pan and see all our paella burner and pan kits.

Shop tip for this size

Centre the pan on the ring and check with a little water that it is level before you start (that is exactly what the adjustable legs are for). With 8 kW the strong boil of the first minutes comes quickly; then turn the gas down by half for the last 10 minutes.

Caring for the enamelled pan

The enamelled Garcima pan needs no seasoning or oiling: wash it with water and soap, dry it and put it away. Avoid knocks on the rim (the enamel can chip) and do not leave it empty on the flame at full power. The Flames burner is steel with a heat-resistant finish; clean it cold with a brush and store it dry.

Why buy the complete kit

Buying the kit you can be sure that burner, pan, legs, windshield and gas kit are compatible with each other, everything arrives together and ready to cook (only the gas bottle is missing) and it costs less than buying the parts separately. Each kit is sold as one unit; if you need another pan size for the same burner, you will find it on the enamelled pan product page.
