The paellera is a round, flat pan with two side-handles, usually made of steel or aluminium, which is used to make Paella, a Valencian dish. Paella is a rice dish which can contain meat, vegetables and seafood, but always contains rice with saffron to give it the characteristic yellow colour.
There are many variations on paella, you can find them on the Internet or in Spanish (not Mexican!) cookbooks. The corollary dish is "fideuá", which substitutes thick noodles for the rice.
The paella is cooked un-covered in the large, open paellera, though sometimes the dish is allowed to "rest" covered with a newspaper before serving.

the word "paellera" is actually an aberration of the word "paella"... the correct word, "paella", is both a cooking vessel and a rice dish of Spanish (meaning Spain) origin thought to have originated in Valencia, Spain. the cooking vessel or pan has handles on both sides and it is the same deepness all around, unlike a wok which is deeper in the center than in the sides. this allows the even cooking of all the rice grains no matter what part of the pan its on.... the "paella" dish, is a rice dish cooked in the "paella" (pan) which is colored with saffron and usually has meats and/or seafood among other things.... here is a picture of the paella http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagen:Paella_en_coccion.jpg

I believe a Paellera is a shallow pan used to make Paella, a Spanish one-dish meal with rice, saffron, and other ingredients.
