Cooking a giant paella for 1,000 people isn’t just large-scale cooking—it’s mastering timing, technique, and coordination to make sure every serving is al dente and freshly made.
At Popaella, we don’t believe in the typical massive paella that simmers for hours and is served all at once. Instead, we use a much more effective approach: we cook several paellas and serve them in waves, like a restaurant… but for 1,000 people.
🔁 Our Formula: Multiple Paellas, Smooth Service
Instead of one huge paella for 1,000 guests, Popaella prepares several giant paellas at the same time and serves them right when they’re ready, ensuring:
✅ The rice is always cooked to perfection
✅ Every batch tastes just as good
✅ Service is fast, hot, and well-organized
✅ Everyone eats well—not just the first in line
📋 Why This System Works Better
🔸1. Better Cooking Control
Each paella is cooked for 50–100 servings. This lets us adjust timing, flame, and ingredients perfectly. The result: flavorful, fluffy rice—never mushy, never undercooked.
🔸2. Steady Serving Pace
With this method, there are no bottlenecks. No need for 1,000 people to wait at once. We can serve by zones, groups, or scheduled rounds.
🔸3. Flexible Options
We can prepare seafood paella, vegetarian, meat-based, or even fideuá—whatever your guests need. This gives you variety and peace of mind.
