What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
