Cooking paella places specific demands on equipment: even heat distribution out to the edges, sufficient power to maintain a boil in an 80 cm wide pan and the ability to control the heat when the rice is to absorb the liquid. Fiesta 800 is designed for this.
The unit comes complete with an 800 mm wide paella pan in sheet steel, gas hose, pressure regulator and electronic ignition. The burner is round and centrally placed with 7.0 kW output and consumes 489 g of propane per hour at full capacity. A 5 kg cylinder lasts approximately 10 hours, an 11 kg cylinder approximately 22 hours. The larger cylinder is practical for longer events and fits under the burner, with a 5 kg cylinder as an alternative.
The thermocouple is an active safety system: if the flame goes out, for example in wind, it automatically shuts off the gas supply. The burner section is removable for cleaning.
The stand is 18/0 stainless steel, designed for outdoor use. Dimensions: 800×800×900 mm (WxDxH). Weight: 28.6 kg.
