Paella
La paellera o, también, paella (del latín patella, cacerola) es una sartén especial para preparar la paella, que consiste
en un guiso de arroz con diversos ingredientes. Es originaria de la Albufera de Valencia, pero se ha convertido en un plato típico español conocido en todo
el mundo. Las paelleras suelen tener
un gran diámetro respecto a su escasa profundidad, lo que optimiza la cocción, y disponen de dos asas laterales para poder moverla con facilidad.
