Small Red Dansk Kobenstyle Paella Pot by Jens Quistgaard

I found this smaller (about 10" in diameter and 2 1/2" tall) Kobenstyle paella pot (for lack of a better name - I think it was actually sold as something else, maybe as an alternative to a saute pan?) at Goodwill the other day for less than $6. The bottom is marked Dansk Designs France and IHQ. I've always admired these low-slug pans, this one is in exceptional condition, the only problem being the chip on one of the handles. I generally don't buy these if the white enable has chips in the actual cooking area (yep, I actually cook with my set). This one joins the much larger "paella pan" I already own in yellow (the latter was purchased many, many years ago in the old junk shop that used to be on Ponce by Eats for $3).

Felix says "I sure like the red!"
Glad I'm wearing clothes!


Since owning and using these Dansk pots, I've managed to chip the red off of one other handle on a red lid. At some point I'll take some photos of the whole set.
