Paella pan Jata HPAE2138 – bottom Ø 38 cm, thickness 4.1 mm, compatible with Ceramic/Gas/Halogen/Induction/Sealed plate

The Jata HPAE2138 paella pan is a single-piece stainless steel pan designed for preparing paella and similar large one-pot dishes. It has a 38 cm bottom diameter and a combined bottom thickness of 4.1 mm that includes an aluminum core and a stainless steel outer layer to ensure even heat distribution. The pan features a full induction bottom and a Whitford Xylan Plus non-stick coating free of PFOA, making it suitable for use on ceramic, gas, halogen, induction and sealed plate hobs.

Advantages

The construction combines an AISI-304 stainless steel body with a multilayer bottom that delivers stable and even heat across the cooking surface. The 4.1 mm bottom (3.5 mm aluminum core plus 0.6 mm steel) provides improved heat performance and quick response to temperature changes. The Whitford Xylan Plus non-stick coating reduces food adherence and simplifies cleaning while remaining PFOA-free. Compatibility with all common hob types, including induction, makes the pan versatile for different kitchens.

• Cooking traditional paella and other rice-based dishes
• Preparing large one-pot meals such as stews, sautés and braises
• Use on ceramic, gas, halogen, induction and sealed plate cookers
• Home cooks and small gatherings where even heat and easy cleaning are required

Key specifications

• Bottom diameter: 38 cm
• Bottom total thickness: 4.1 mm (3.5 mm aluminum core + 0.6 mm steel layer)

How to use

Place the pan on a compatible hob and preheat according to the recipe. For even results, heat the pan gradually and use medium to moderate heat settings; the multilayer bottom conducts heat efficiently and reacts quickly to temperature changes. Use utensils appropriate for non-stick surfaces to avoid damaging the Whitford Xylan Plus coating, and avoid overheating an empty pan. After cooking, allow the pan to cool slightly before washing with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.

Recommendations

To preserve the non-stick coating and the stainless steel finish, avoid abrasive cleaners and metal scouring pads. For induction use, ensure good contact between the hob surface and the pan bottom for optimum heat transfer. Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots on the stainless steel exterior.
