would heat diffuser works on paella pan?

The diffuser only regulates heat for same temperature all around. You should be able to use it on any pan, it does not let the fire touch the pan.

It will depend on the pan. Cast iron will distribute the heat more uniformly if your pan is larger than the surface. However I have had no trouble with me other pans who are a little larger. I keep an eye on the content and stir a little if necessary.

I use olive or vegetable oil, not PAM. But I see no reason why PAM wouldn't work. If PAM works on high heat - these pans will easily & evenly take that high heat (e.g. for searing). I love this cookware & it cleans up in the dishwasher very well too.

That may depend on how close the handles are to the heat source. FYI, this rack doesn't fit the smaller All-Clad pan well, it's meant for the larger one. I have the smaller one at one and this rack kind of floats above -- so I would have to be cautious about those handles getting too close to the heat.

It should work. It stop the heater from getting a white powder on the burners.

yes if the pan is small enough to fit. but it would take a while, as the pan is heated by basically a lightbulb. It works great but it takes forever to heat up initially. Once its hot youre good to go! Hope that helps!

Yes, we routinely use this heat diffuser on a ceramic-top range to provide even heating to iron skillets. Place the diffuser on a cold element and, to protect yourself and the ceramic top, do not attempt to remove the diffuser after use until it has completely cooled. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. It is a solid, well made pan and conducts heat very evenly. I have used it on a Viking gas Range and on an induction burner with good results. The only issue I see is with your pan seasoning. Running the pan essentially empty for 15 minutes or so required by rice may scorch your pan seasoning. Before using as a diffuser, I would scrub the pan clean with a soapy scouring pad to remove any trace of grease/oil. Before using the pan by itself, you would need to re-season with oil.

Take a magnet to the bottom if it adheres you can use it. Any cookware will work the same way.

Definitely. Cooking over open coals is the traditional approach with carbon steel pans. You should see how HUGE paella pans can get in Spain! :-)

I believe it should work just fine. Just watch your temp at first until you very familiar with the pan

I am not sure...I have a gas range. It does work well for paella and I do not see any reason why it wouldn't work on a glass-ceramic top unless you have to you special cookware??

my induction cooktop (or hotplate) sits on my "more counter space" but i would not put a really hot pan on it as it is sturdy PLASTIC but a Cast Iron Heat Diffuser or wood cutting board would make a hot pan etc. harmless I would think. Amazon has a bunch to choose from, just search under "heat diffuser" and maybe the manufacturer can answer this.

It is designed to be used on a charcoal burner in Morocco. It must be properly seasoned and used with a diffuser on a gas or electric stove.

Absolutely. It works great. You put it on the heat diffuser plate. The charcoal goes on the grate underneath

I've never tried to prepare paella on this grill; however, I will say you may want to keep in mind that there are grill handles on the grill grate that, effectively, make the grill slightly "smaller" in two directions. (In other words, an 18" pan may not actually fit on the grill. Of course, there are other grill grates--without handles--you could buy that might accommodate. ...just something to keep in mind.)
