Yes depending on the type of cooker you have, if you have a gas range cooker you can use your Paella pan on the range however please note the size of the Paella pan you are planning on using on your gas range. We wouldn’t recommend using anything above a 38 cm pan on your gas range at home as either will not fit or may mean you have to keep moving segments of the Paella pan over the heat in order to cook the dish properly. Original Paella would always recommend that you purchase a Paella gas burner for your new Paella pan in order to provide adequate heat distribution to the dish. If you have an electric/induction or AGA cooker please see our induction paella pans as these have a flat thick sandwich bottom which is suitable for these types of cookers.

We have all sizes of paella pans from 22 cm up to 130 cm wide. The paella pan you need depends on the number of diners. Each of our paella pans shows the number of portions, both starter and main.

The domestic paella gas burner is the classic, resistant and functional burner. Approved for outdoor use only, it has the vertical gas outlet on the upper part of the tube. It is available in a wide range of sizes. There are specific models for natural gas and for a butane/propane tank.
Professional paella gas burners include a safety valve in each ring (thermocouple), which makes them suitable for use in closed or semi-closed spaces.

We have included in the description of each burner the range of paella pans it can accommodate. In any case, as a general rule it is a good idea to know that the base of the paella pan must exceed the diameter of the ring by 6-10 cm so that, as they say, it envelopes the container without burning the sides and the handle.
