Sure, the Mauviel M'Steel paella pan can definitely be used for more than just paella. According to the manufacturer's description, it works on all cooking surfaces, including induction cooktops, which is a nice bonus. This is mainly because carbon steel, the material it's made from, is compatible with induction cooking.

One great thing about this pan is its heat conduction and retention. It heats up quickly and evenly, which is awesome not just for paella, especially if you're after that nice crust at the bottom, but also for other dishes. Our research mentions folks using it for all sorts of things, like sautéing veggies, searing meat, or even making pancakes.

It's built to be durable too, so it's perfect for high-temperature cooking or even baking in the oven, like for a frittata or roasting. The key, though, is to keep up with the maintenance. Regular seasoning is important to keep its non-stick properties.

Our data suggests that keeping it oiled and dry helps prevent rust and keeps it working well over time.

So, if you're already using it for paella, you'll probably find it pretty handy for other dishes too. Just take care of it properly, and it should serve you well in the kitchen for a long while.
