Where to find the best paella kit at the best price and quality

Nowadays, there are more and more offers of equipment for making paellas, from specialized stores, hardware stores to supermarkets and online stores.

Of course, this fuels the question every buyer asks: Where can I best spend my money, where do I get the best value for money with the best customer service?

In this post we will compare the best prices from the most popular sellers along with their most aggressive offers.

Price comparison

This comparison will be based on 3 sales leaders: The Carrefour supermarket, the online store Amazon and Original Paella, a store specialized in the sale of equipment for paellas.

The reason for this choice is simple: Carrefour is one of the most popular stores in Spain. Meanwhile, Amazon is a powerful online sales company, popular and known around the world.

In this entry we will compare their most aggressive offers with an equivalent equipment pack from Original Paella.

Below we leave you the packs in question that will be compared to each other:

Carrefour star offer: 46 cm Paellero Kit
Amazon star offer: Vaello Campos Pack
Original Paella star offers: Paella Pack for 10 people

To facilitate the comparison, we have decided to make the following table where we can more quickly and easily observe the differences between the 3 participants:

Paella burner	40 cm	40 cm	35 cm
Paella burner supports	Square legs	Square legs	Square legs

Obviously we can see differences in prices, but what about the equipment? Let's begin our analysis by looking at each part of the painting, from top to bottom.

Paella pan

The 3 paella pans offered are based on a polished steel paella pan or traditional paella pan, as some rice masters prefer to call it.

In terms of sizes, the 46 cm paella pan from Carrefour and Amazon is the smallest, offering a range of servings of 4-5 people for a Valencian paella, 6-10 at medium capacity and 11-12 at maximum capacity.

Amazon offers us an intermediate paella pan size of 48 cm, providing us with a range of servings of 5 people for a fine paella, 7-10 for an intermediate paella and 12 with a full paella.

Meanwhile, Original Paella offers the largest paella, with a 50cm paella pan, giving a serving range of 4-6 people for a thin layer, 7-11 for a medium layer and 12-14 for a high layer of rice.

Paella burner

The burner included in all of these kits is based on a traditional round tube or paellero burner.

The measurements of Carrefour and Amazon are superior compared to those of Original Paella, however, the Original Paella pack is better optimized because it is the manufacturer itself that indicates that the 35 cm paella pan is compatible and approved with the 50 cm paella.

Furthermore, in the case of Original Paella, unlike the other two participants, they take into account if you are going to use the burner in another country, offering you the burner with the correct output for the destination of your order, in addition to burners adapted for the Use propane, butane, natural gas or even camping gas.

Paella pan supports

The only section where the three contenders end in a tie, the 3 paella packs use square legs to ensure the holding of the paella at a suitable height for paella preparation.

Paddle

The Carrefour and Amazon kits forget an essential utensil to make paella: a paddle.

Any spoon will result in us accidentally burning ourselves when trying to stir the ingredients during stir-frying or when evenly distributing the rice. Original Paella takes this into account and includes in its pack a 48 cm stainless steel paddle, useful during and after preparing the paella to serve portions to your guests.

Gas kit

The offers from Carrefour and Amazon are limited to the equipment necessary for paella, but they do not at any time touch on the necessary and approved accessories to be able to use said equipment.

Without a gas kit, which includes a gas regulator, rubber and clamps, you will not be able to light your paella pan and make your long-awaited paella. At Original Paella we find that, along with the pack, you can optionally add a complete approved gas kit at the best price.

Can I have another kind of paella pan?

The Amazon and Carrefour kits are quite closed in terms of their content, they only carry what is offered and do not offer you other alternatives at the same price or even slightly increasing it to take into account possible additions or other preferences that the customer may have.

Original Paella offers the traditional polished steel paella pan, but also offers the option of purchasing its pack with the enameled paella pan, a best-selling and popular option since it does not require adding oil after cleaning and its ability not to rust.

Can I save shipping costs?

Although there is the convenience of having our order sent to our home, there is always the possibility that we want to save on the shipping costs of our paellero pack, so, what price will my order cost if they send it to my home, do I even have the option? Possibility of picking it up at your store?

Amazon in this section only offers the option for our order to be sent to our address, with a cost of 5.80 euros as a shipping cost.

In the case of Carrefour, we can pick up our pack in store or, for an extra 3.50 euros in shipping costs, they will send it directly to our home.

Original Paella offers the ability to pick up our pack in store or have it sent to us for a shipping cost of 5.95 euros, but it compensates us by offering us certain benefits if we want to go one step further in our purchase.

Purchases over 100 euros do not have to pay for the shipping of your order, and when purchasing more than 70 euros, we receive a gift from the house, to show our paella pride.

Customer Support

Nowadays, customer service is crucial, every customer wants to be able to consult or solve the problems that their purchased products may cause, it is therefore essential to assess the pre- and post-sale customer service of the pack of the different stores.

Carrefour offers after-sales service through a contact form or telephone for the return of the product, but it lacks pre-sales or after-sales service specialized in the product, because its workers are based on the sale of general products and lack the technical knowledge necessary to offer help.

Amazon offers after-sales service through a contact form if we need to return the product, but it is largely lacking in any customer service, since the products are sold individually, the customer service capacity is usually not very accessible. and in no case specialized in the product.

Original Paella offers pre- or post-sales customer service for the product, offering us multiple means of communication such as email, telephone, chat and even WhatsApp, all done by a specialized team that knows perfectly all the material it sells, ready to resolve our doubts before and after purchasing your products, whether recommendations or technical problems.

It should also be noted that Amazon does not allow reviews on Google, limiting them to its particular products within its website, while Carrefour allows reviews on Google, but only to its multiple stores and products, which makes it difficult to truly know the quality of both the product. like customer service.

Original Paella allows you to make reviews on Google and within its website, which, being unique, makes it easy to recognize the quality of the product and customer service, having collected more than 800 reviews, maintaining a constant 5 stars on Google.
