Demeyere Resto 14.8 Quarts Stainless Steel (18/10) Paella Pan

I waited months for my paella pan due to the pandemic. Once I finally got it, one of the handles had disconnected from the pan. Since there are no rivets, I assume it wasn't welded on properly but now I don't know what to do. I don't want to send it back because I may never see it again?

This is a great pan. The quality steel heats very evenly allowing for great crust on my paella. The size is great for a party and the high sides make it easy to stirl The handles make it easy to transfer to the table for easy serving.

A Paella pan offers so much more that a pan for Paella. The large flat area and the sloped sides gives a perfect area for Saute, fry or braise. The wide surface allows evaporation over the full surface and is easy to stir, add foods at the proper time and it can easily be used on a stove top, open flame in the oven, whatever ever you choose. In this pan size rules.

This is my favorite stainless steel pan when I'm cooking large quantities. Because it holds an impressive fourteen plus quarts it can handle incorporating all kinds of ingredients without having things pop out over the sides. I don't make Paella a lot but I still love this pan for searing meat for a perfect brown, one dish pasta recipes, making fried rice and stir fry. The three ply heats up quickly and evenly from rim to rim and the handles are generous and comfortable to lift. Clean up is super easy and if anything gets too baked on I just soak for a bit and then it comes right off.

This paella pan doubles as a steamed mussel pan in our house. We have mussels and shellfish more than paella, so this gets a lot of use! On those other days, we add in rice or cous cous and fresh veggies for a one-pot meal. I love the roomy, wide handles for easy access when carrying to the table to serve.
