Premium gas paellero 38cm for interiors

Includes Adjustable short legs !

Premium gas paella burners are flat-tube paella pans, making them high-powered. However, they offer new features that set them apart from standard paella pans.

These paella pans are certified for indoor use , as they have a built-in thermocouple safety valve . They are equipped with a pilot burner for ease of use . Furthermore, the rings can be used independently.

They offer great robustness, with a larger and more powerful gas chamber .

Among the main new features, the new 3-position valve with the Minimum System stands out , providing a very low and precise minimum , thus allowing perfect control of the heat and facilitating cooking.

The gas outlets of the pipes are at a 45-degree angle º, preventing them from becoming clogged easily .

Finally, the OPTIM System allows for better combustion and therefore fuel savings despite having a larger fire surface and more power.

All paella pans usually come with a layer of enamel to prevent them from rusting, but also to make cleaning after use easier.

Paella pan sizes for a traditional 38cm paella pan

For this burner the Paella pans suitable for optimal use are:

• With 1 ring : paellas of 28cm to 38cm
• With 2 rings : for paella pans from 50cm to 60cm

We can also place pots with a capacity from 50L to 150L . This means our paella pan has sufficient power for this capacity, but be careful not to place the weight directly on the pan , as this could damage it. For this purpose, we recommend using a trivet or other support to bear the full weight of the pan.

How to light a paella pan with a thermocouple valve correctly

Before we proceed to light the paella pan, we must ensure that all the knobs are closed, making sure that the mark on the screw is facing upwards.

Once everything is closed, we can turn on the gas to our paella pan. If we're using a gas cylinder, we'll open the gas regulator valve.

Now, let's light the pilot burner on our paella pan. Press the thermocouple valve knob and then turn it 90 degrees. ° to the left. Next, we bring a flame close to the pilot burner so that it catches fire.

Once the pilot light is lit, hold down the control button for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple valve to heat up. After a few seconds, release the button; the pilot burner flame should remain lit.

Finally, to turn on any of the rings, we must press the control and turn it 90 degrees. °. Once we have a flame, we can release and move the knob to the maximum or minimum setting depending on the desired power.

Maintenance

Once the appliance is cool, clean it with a cloth dampened with soapy water, rinse, and then dry it. Store the burner in a dry, dust-free place, protecting it from insects.

Do not use bleach or solvents for cleaning.

Precautions

The paella pans we use at home don't usually have a thermocouple valve. This valve is a safety system that prevents gas leaks if the flame goes out for any reason. Therefore, if we use paella pans at home, we should avoid doing so in an enclosed space and check regularly that the paella pan's combustion is working correctly.

Paella pans with thermocouple valves are certified for indoor use, but are usually only used in the hospitality industry because regulations require it.

Difference between types of paella pans

In the past, paellas, and all food preparations in general, were cooked over a wood fire or in ovens that also ran on wood or coal. It was after the introduction of gas into homes that paella pans were invented.

The paella burner or gas burner was created to offer better control over the fire, thus facilitating the preparation of paellas and other stews, since at any time we can easily and controllably raise or lower the power.

A paella pan is simply a gas circuit where gas enters and combusts within the rings. Its circular shape is crucial for gas combustion, as it allows for even heat distribution.

Currently there are different types of paella pans, we will try to detail their main differences to facilitate the choice of a paella pan according to our needs.

Traditional paella pan - round tube

This model of paella pan or gas burner is the oldest, being the traditional Valencian one.

This is a paella pan made of circular tubes, with the gas outlets located at the top. This allows the flame to directly impact the pan.

Paella pan +GAS - flat tube

Having a flat top allows us to place the fire outlet on both sides of the tube, thus achieving greater power and a greater distribution of heat than a traditional round-tube paella pan.

They also come with a significant improvement to the gas control dial. In this case, it has three positions: off, maximum, and minimum, all controlled with just a half turn of the screw. This will make it much easier to set the flame to minimum or maximum as needed.

Premium paella pan

This type of paella pan is a high-powered model that incorporates several improvements to make it more efficient and easier to use. The gas outlet is zigzagged and angled at 45 degrees, making it less likely that the holes will become clogged. Furthermore, the 3-position system is more optimized, allowing you to use just the right amount of heat for a slow, sautéed base.

Indoor paella pans

They are also commonly called professional paella pans, since in the hospitality industry they are usually used indoors.

They are practically the same as a high-powered paella burner, but with the addition of a thermocouple valve to control the flame of each ring. If a ring loses its flame, this safety system will cut off the gas supply to prevent the burner from wasting unburned gas.
