Pasta cookers
Pasta cookers bring speed and consistency to high-volume pasta preparation. Whether you're running a busy restaurant, hotel kitchen, or café, a dedicated pasta cooker maintains precise water temperature and reduces manual oversight, freeing your team to focus on plating and service.
Choose from compact tabletop models for smaller kitchens or freestanding units with multiple baskets for volume operations. Both electric and gas options are available to match your existing infrastructure.
Electric or gas pasta cookers with capacities from 10L to 28L, designed for restaurants, hotels and catering operations. Choose based on fuel type available, basin size matching your service volume, and power rating—ranging from 4kW tabletop units to 12kW freestanding models.
When selecting a pasta cooker, consider your daily volume, available bench or floor space, and energy source. Basket capacity determines how many portions you can cook simultaneously; larger capacities suit lunch and dinner covers, whilst compact models work for à la carte or lower-turnover venues.
Tabletop units suit cafés and smaller kitchens with space constraints; freestanding cookers suit high-volume operations. Electric models offer precise temperature control and easier installation; gas cookers may suit kitchens with existing gas supply.
