reddit.comDid your seasoning survive the tomato sauce?

It looked cleaner then when it went in, but there's not much seasoning to begin with. I use it here and there to cook veggies in the oven as a second choice roasting pan, so I'm not too worried about it. It's not like I'm going to cook something like eggs on the stove on that thing...

I ordered one during the 50% sale! Can’t wait to receive it, planning to use it mainly for paella as well. Do you leave it totally unseasoned? If so any tips to prevent rusting?

I just don't go out of my way to build up extra seasoning. Roasting potatoes with vegetable oil in between working with tomatoes seems to be enough.

Paellas are traditionally done on unseasoned pans because the socarrat crust toasts to the bottom of the pan and will take off all the seasoning into your food, which isn’t the best experience.

What kind of shelffish did you use?

I made a seafood paella on the Darto n.35. you can see the finished product, building the sofrito with tomatoes, peppers, garlic, squid, chorizo, smoked paprika, saffron, and frying the pollock first, so it wouldn't get overcooked throughout the process.
It came out amazing. There was some good socarrat around the edges, but unfortunately not throughout. I used squid ink to make the rice black, but apparently not enough... 🤔
This looks delicious!
