September 7, 20214 yr Popular Post Spent some time at the beach with our long time port-o- geezie speaking buds for a day or so last week. That's a 32" dia. paella pan. They had to make sure it'd fit in the front door after cooking.  Start with chicken, sausage, peppers, spices, etc, more cooking. Then it's the rice, and broth. Shrimp, and mussels next. Then it becomes an industrial sized Jiffy Pop popcorn maker for 45 minutes. Feeds about 35 easily.  These people know from Paella !!!! Edited September 8, 20214 yr by Onboard 2.0

September 8, 20214 yr I have that same pan and make paella a couple of times a year. Order in lots of bomba rice. The hardest part is developing a socarrat without burning it. All paella is good. Paella with an excellent socarrat is food of the Gods.
