Hi Guys

Have posted this in a couple of areas so apologie if you've already read it!

Tried to use my new paella pan on my cadac at the weekend but it didnt seem to get hot and then the flame kept flaring up. Any suggestions? Should I have my deflector on when using it?

Its almost as if it wasnt getting enough oxygen to the flame.

Hi Shaz

did you use the pot stand?

ooh so take the fat pan out and replce with the paella pan? will give it a go

Hi

How did you get on?

I've just bought a paella pan and having the same problems that you had.

Use the scuttle a lot with no problems.

I think a lot of people have been using the Cadac paella pan very successfully. It goes straight on the flame and rests on the lip on the main (blue) body of the Cadac. It should not have a pan holder or the fat pan under it.

We use it for pretty much everything nowadays but we have made some suberb paella's by buying spice mixes (from The Paella Company, and in France) and using their recipes on the packet and adding veg, meat and frozen seafood  ! Absolutely brilliant and failrly easy ! You just need a a Spanish or French dictionary !!

We took some leftovers with us on a walk once and ate it cold - it was superb ! 

Oooh I think I might have to have one this week !
