is this pan suitable for making paella

It is a great pan and I use it to saute chicken, etc., but it is very shallow. I've never made paella so I don't know if it would be good for that dish or not. It is 14 inches in diameter.

I actually use it for something you would think is ridiculous... I use it for stir fry... if you think about it, it's high heat disbursed over a wide area, because we don't have 9,000 BTU stoves, it's actually great for that. The non stick surface really helps with it too... overall it's one of my go to pans...

I'm not sure since I don't know what this dish is. The pan is great for all foods, but it is not very deep.

Yes. This is a wonderful pan. We've used it several times already and it's great.

This little pan works wonderfully, but is definitely not the quality of my higher end pans. Wash it by hand, not in the dishwasher, and it should last. The non-stick coating will otherwise come off easily. And, be careful not to overfill with water, or you will be hard boiling, not poaching.

no, it's oval shaped and there's very few as far as pans or dishes that fit in it. Due to the fact that the food sits quite far from the heat source on top, nothing browns and I don't think that it would be good for baking. Had it not been a gift, I would've returned it.

Yes, by all means, no problem. If you have not purchased this pan yet, you should. It is a great pan, nice and deep, and you will be pleased with how things cook in this pan. I love mine!

With the right crust you should be fine. However, I always have a little liquid that leaks out when using this pan so I always put it on a baking sheet to make clean up easier. Hope that helps :)

My pan measures 14" from outside edge to outside edge. It is approximately 12" on the bottom edge of the pan. It is a shallow pan especially designed for paella - approximately 2" high. I only use this pan for paella and it works great and makes alot - easily will feed 6 hungry eaters!

I've never used it for that purpose, but I think it would do fine. It's a great, versatile pan!

If you are using this pan to cook traditional Paella, you don't cover the pan. The pan is not that deep so I would caution covering in general but if you really want to use a cover, any cover you already have for a larger stock pot or frying pan should fit and work or you can try tinfoil.

I believe it will be fine. The bottom of the pan is smooth. The pan is flat.

yes, I was not sure when I got it but it is a nice size pan, and the extra metal on the edges makes it easy to handle. I/we use this pan not just for cakes but for corn bread and believe it or not we use it on the grill for for baked beans.

This pan would be more for soups, rice, potatoes and pasta. It's size would limit you to maybe 3-4 smaller ears of corn on the cob. Still an awesome pan. I have the larger one as well that I use for corn on the cob.

Absolutely not. This pan is very well made, as is Calphalon products. It heats well, cooks well, it's sturdy, and cleans up fast.

I don't use my 18.5" paella pan often enough to build up a seasoning. I soak and use a regular detergent and dry the pan fully before storing away. Before using again, it get's another scrubbing. For me, space is important and my pan is stored along with other serving trays.

Yes, it makes a great pan for roasting chickens or ham! I use mine for lots of things.

Yes. I purchased it for my mother. She loves it. I have used it a couple of times and I liked the way it cooked. The food was nicely done and I didn't see and uneven heating. Clean up was easy too. I would recommend this pan for induction cooking or just regular cooking.

It is a great pan. I have this pan it is great on the stove top as well as a shallow roaster for the oven.I only use Cuisinart and a few other select brands of stainless .
