40 cm Gourmet paella burner kit

The 40 cm Gourmet paella burner kit with 60 cm pata negra professional paella pan brings together everything you need to make Valencian paella, rice dishes and fideuà on butane or propane gas. It is sized for 6 or 7 servings of fine rice (up to 12 with coarser rice), ideal for family meals, couples and gatherings at home, on the terrace or in the garden.

Gas connections vary from country to country: if your country does not share the Spanish connection, the burner is manufactured to order with the connection for your destination country, which takes around 10 days. Some countries do share the Spanish connection, in which case shipping is immediate subject to stock.

Like all our kits, it is made in Spain by Garcima (Valencia), the historic brand in the sector with more than 110 years making paella burners and pans. The set is sized to match —the burner fits the diameter of the paella pan— which avoids the most common problem when putting the equipment together piece by piece: the rice cooking badly around the edges. The gas kit is certified to standards UNE-EN 16129 and UNE-EN 16436.

What this kit includes

• Flat gas paella burner

The pata negra paella pan: professional quality

The "pata negra" 60 cm professional paella pan is made of thicker polished steel, the same as used by restaurants and rice houses: it distributes the heat better and is very hard-wearing (it requires seasoning and good drying).

How to make a good paella with this kit

Heat the 60 cm paella pan on the burner and brown the meat or seafood. Make the sofrito and add the paprika over a low flame so it doesn't turn bitter. Add the rice, toast it and pour in the hot stock (about 2 to 2.5 parts stock to one of rice). Spread the flame for even cooking and turn it up at the end for the socarrat. Let it rest for 5 minutes. With this paella pan reckon on 6 or 7 servings of fine rice.

Care and maintenance

The pata negra paella pan needs seasoning before first use and good drying after each wash (not dishwasher safe); in return it lasts for very many years.

Who is it ideal for?

Thanks to its 40 cm size it is perfect for family meals, couples and gatherings at home, on the terrace or in the garden.
