Paella Pan and Rig
Regular price $480.00
Paella, Spain's most iconic dish, is a fiesta in a pan! Like our Fire Kettles, the culture around Paella is gathering with friends and family (Read More Here). From its roots in coastal Valencia, this rice dish was originally cooked over open fire to infuse a smoky flavor. In fact, open fire is to paella what a wood-burning oven is to pizza!
Developed in collaboration with Chef Katie Button, the Rig integrates the paella pan onto our Grill providing the ultimate in heat management, which is crucial to the perfect paella and its signature socarrat - the caramelized crust of rice on the bottom.
"The ratchet system gives you ultimate control over the heat, you can easily control the heat and how fast the paella is cooking. And with the perfectly designed spoon -- it is an open fire paella dream!" -- Chef Katie Button

The Rig is also perfect for any type of large format sauté. Shrimp scampi, stir fry, fajitas... use your imagination!
The Rig includes:
- 24" Pata Negra Pan - Chef Button's preferred pan
- Ring with cutouts for pan's handles to integrate onto the Grill
- Hand-forged Paella Spoon, custom-designed for working over open fire and scooping the socarrat.
- Kettle Leveling Kit - brackets keep bowl level and paella pan steady (3 brackets for 30-Gallon Kettle; 4 brackets for 50-Gallon Kettle)
