TheNakedWhiz Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 This past weekend we made paella. I love having the room in the KK 22" OTB cooker. Most recipes seem to be for 14" pans which have handles that make the pan more like 18" across. It's a squeeze in my large BGE, but on the KK, it is so nice to be able to move the pan around as necessary and close the lid without closing it on a handle. Here's my web page on paella, if anyone wants to get into this tasty dish: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/paella/paella.htm
Baby Huey Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 That is the best looking paella I have ever seen. I have never made it myself; however, I have ordered it several times at restaurants. I'm now inspired to make it myself.

TheNakedWhiz Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Posted April 2, 2008 The carbon steel pans are traditional, but the main thing is to have a flat wide pan so the rice is in a shallow layer, and one that conducts heat fairly rapidly so you can heat the pan and cool the pan quickly. They sell SS paelleras so it should do ok.

Papa Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 (I didn't get a KK) Save the pan cost and up-grade now. The Gen II Ultimate is Papa
trish Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 the SS pan I received is more the size of a pie pan. It is only about one inch deep.
Syzygies Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Paella is best thin in the biggest pan you can manage. I own four pans, and only use the largest. My second largest fit with the lid down, handles and all. It took one cook with my largest to convince me to cut off the handles. No question, "open shut" case. Our favorite is chorizo and olives...
DennisLinkletter Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 some in inventory in LA the SS pan I received is more the size of a pie pan. It is only about one inch deep. Sorry Trish, since you got yours I've found larger ones.. I think I have some in inventory in LA if you want one. Photos here http://komodokamado.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2159
trish Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Thanks Dennis...I now remember when you announced that pan, but I can't remember the answer to the question about the pattern on the bottom of the pan. Is it laser cut or just a design in the bottom of the pan. I know it does not make sense that a drip pan would have holes in the bottom of the pan.... I do have the one pictured with the heat deflector seated inside of it. I will PM you

I did go back and look at the picture and can see how you may have seen holes.
