Paella using the Karbon Steel™ Paella Pan

Making paella in your Karbon Steel™ Paella pan is a must! Before getting started, make sure you season your pan. You can learn how to do this in your owner’s manual or our How-To Season your Kamado Joe® Karbon Steel™ Pans Blog.

To use your paella pan, insert your cooking grates. Place the paella pan directly onto the grates.

   Lightly oil your Paella Pan to refresh the seasoning and prevent sticking.
