A paellera is a large shallow frying pan in which paella is cooked.
Spains most famous meal is tapas... as a side dish and the main course is paellera
Any wide, shallow pan big enough for the amount of paella you plan to make will work. Even a large skillet works. Pans specially made for paella are cool but can be expensive. The main point is the wide surface so that the rice can spread out and made a layer that isn't too thick.
Paella is not a traditional Spanish food. It is a traditional food in the area of Valencia. There are many, many kinds of Paella. Almost all of them contain rice in some quantity.. Three are widely known. They are Paella Valenciana which has rice, meat, vegtables, and land snails but no fish or seafood; Seafood Paella which has any kind of seafood available in lieu of meat and snails, rice, and omits the vegatables and beans, Seafood Paella generally has shrimp and or logostinos, clams and mussells ; The third kind is Paella Mixta which can contain just about anything edible. Paella is cooked in a large diameter, flat bottomed sheet metal pan called a paellera. Olive oil is added to the pan, brought up to temperature over an open fire and then the rice is added and sauteed. The other ingrediants are then added in order of the time required to cook them. Those requiring the most time are added first and those requiring less time are added in such a way that every thing is completely cooked at the same time or as close as possible. It is a group operation, the cooking is generally done by the men present, and generous amounts of wine are both imbibed and added to the paella if desired. See the related link.
