Why is there a range in the number of servings for each pan size?
How many servings you’ll get from the pan will depend on how much rice you use and, of course, whether you’ll be serving other food along with the paella. Ideally, you will use a nice thin layer of rice. This gives the best tasting paella but also means fewer servings (this is the lower number in our serving range). But if you need to serve more people, that’s okay. Just add more rice, along with meat, vegetable or seafood garnishes to the pan. You’ll have a thicker layer of rice (this is the higher number in our serving range).
