New products for paellas 2023

With the passage of time, technology advances and both hobbies and all work areas evolve their tools to carry out their tasks more comfortably and effectively.

Although paella has its traditions in terms of its tools and preparation, there are always new innovations in gastronomy that can allow us to prepare and enjoy our paellas in a more comfortable and simple way.

That is why at Original Paella we have been testing new products and innovations. On this occasion we show you the new products that we have been testing ourselves in recent weeks to verify their effectiveness, and we have liked them so much that we have them already available in store so that you can use them yourself.

The new products for this year 2023 are:

Mimcook: Paella burner robot

Every day technology evolves and many tasks from the past are automated with assembly lines, some even say that AI will end up doing everything for us and later it will dominate the world, and it seems to be true, because even the paellas are already being made by themselves!

Well, not entirely, but this new invention certainly allows you to take your eyes off your paella while you cook it as if you were a master rice cooker without the need for the same experience or training.

The Mimcook, together with its little brother, Mimcook Go, is the most innovative in terms of making paellas, it is an intelligent paella burner that can not only save up to 50 recipes, but also indicates the amount of ingredients necessary for the number of diners that we tell him, he knows the steps of the recipe and takes us, step by step, to what we have to do, whether it is including ingredients or moving the rice, he is even capable of self-regulating the firepower of the paella burner according to the step of the recipe in the one that is found, so that the paella turns out perfect.

Although the paella burner robot is not recommended as a tool that you would use in your day-to-day life at home, there is no doubt that it is a very interesting tool for hotels and restaurants, especially those that have rice chains or simply want to standardize their process of paella cooking as a fundamental basis to expand their business. Its ability to indicate step-by-step how to make the paella, with minimal interaction from the cook other than including ingredients or stirring the rice, makes it not only a tool for producing high-class paellas for less-trained or experienced cooks, but also it allows professional cooks to focus on other kitchen tasks or other dishes, while their paella is prepared to perfection with the slightest level of interaction.

Beyond its capabilities, it has an extensive level of customization, just by modifying an Excel file we can add a wide range of modifications, which allows us to expand the programmed paella recipes with our own exclusive paella and rice recipes, in addition its customization allows it to  even have it warn us audibly when it goes trough certain steps of the recipe, for it to give us colors depending on which step we are in, show us texts and notes for the cook..., as I said before, even paellas are being made by themselves.

Rectangular paella pan - llauna for rice

Although the paella pan is the traditional way of preparing paella, a more unusual, but no less interesting way of preparing baked rice has recently become popular.

The rectangular paella pan or "llauna" is an oven tray usually used for the preparation of "snails a la llauna", which can also be used to prepare meat, fish, vegetables and, in a new way, the so-called "rice a la llauna"

These square paella pans allow cooking extra-fine rice and paellas of high quality, variety and in the oven in just a few minutes. Normally, the procedure to prepare this recipe consists of adding the previously cooked sauce, together with its corresponding necessary base (previously prepared in advance) for the amount of rice desired (according to the number of servings to be prepared), together with the combination of these elements (sofrito+fondo+arroz) it can be decorated with different toppings on the paella pan, which are mixed and immediately afterwards it is placed in the oven, after the cooking time of the rice has passed (from 15 to 19 minutes depending on the variety), if we have included the correct amounts, we will have freshly cooked rice in just 18 minutes and with as many combinations as we wish .

It is also referred to by some as a "paella pan tray", this oven tray allows the perfect preparation of all kinds of baked rice dishes, both for how attractive the final dish looks due to its rectangular shape, and for its ability to prepare thin layers of rice on its surface, one simply needs to prepare the ingredients beforehand, deposit them on the pan, and layer the thin layer of rice before putting it in the oven.

Many restaurants usually serve their paellas with a metal paella holder, a trivet on the table or in the more traditional ones, a stylized cloth or straw trivet. Those who specialize in takeaway or delivery food do so through paella boxes or plastic containers. What if I tell you that there is a more beautiful and efficient way for you to serve paella to your customers?

The paella holder to take away is a tool that is easy to store, transport and assemble, created with cardboard that not only allows you to transport the paellas to your client without stains or dirt, but also acts as trivets, so that they can be served directly on the table without danger of the temperature of the paella damaging the surface.

The to go paella holder is folded in its original state, which facilitates its storage in our warehouses or kitchens, it only needs to be assembled and included in the paella pan. In addition, their diameters are adaptable, which means that a single size can be adapted to different paella pans, from the smallest of 28 cm to the largest of 60 cm.

They have a space included so you can make notes on the order, such as the customer's name, what type of paella it is or the delivery time. They can also be used for table service in restaurants and rice shops.
