Concord Premium Stainless Steel Paella Pan with Heavy Duty Triply Bottom (12" (32 CM))

Induction "burners" have localized heating that requires very heat-conductive cookware, especially for frying. I have tried cast iron griddles, but they have a hot spot right over the induction coil, and the temp drops off rapidly, so the side of the pan is 50 deg cooler than in the center. My pancakes were cooked on near the center, but the edges were uncooked!This pan solves that problem with a conductive layer of aluminum (They don't reveal, but the pan is too light for a copper core). The temperature on the sides is only slightly cooler than in the center, and my pancakes are a success!Cleanup is easy because it is stainless. I wipe out excess oil and heat water with washing soda (sodium carbonate) for 15 minutes. Any residues simply dislodge or a few wipes gets them off. Oven cleaner can be used for the bottom or tough stains.I searched high and low, but I think this is the ONLY round stainless steel griddle with a heat spreading core that is NOT nonstick. Lots of non-stick options, but I wasn't interested. There are also some steel options, but the heat conduction is not as good. Gas flames distribute heat much better than induction. Good heat conduction is critical for griddles on induction burners! This griddle delivers, and at a very reasonable price.

Good Paella Pan, good Heat Dispersion. Pan stains very easily and is very hard to clean.

Easy to cleaning
