    Whats cooking? **** Making something fine and fancy?** Just plain good? Show us!

    "Paella" really means literally pan, it's a derivate word from old latin language "patella", in italian "padella" and in french "poêle"...

    Thanks!... Paella (or fideuá) really it's very simple to make but the experience is a level.

    Watanabe users or connoisseurs... Is this just normal?

    Yeah, you are right if you mean that I'm a bit exaggerating the effect (because the bent is not on many degrees) but the cause is still there on that deviation.
