Fagor CP-E905 900 Series Single Well Electric Pasta Cooker

The Fagor CP-E905 is a freestanding single well electric pasta cooker from the 900 Series range, designed to handle continuous pasta cookery in a busy commercial kitchen. The unit accommodates three separate pasta baskets simultaneously, allowing different pasta types or portion sizes to be cooked at the same time without cross-contamination of timing or texture.

In a working kitchen environment, the 12kW three-phase heating element is the aspect that earns its keep most noticeably. It brings a full tank up to temperature quickly from cold and, crucially, recovers well between successive batches — a common weak point with underpowered pasta cookers during a busy service. Kitchens running high covers on pasta-heavy menus will find this recovery performance directly affects the pace of plating.

The practical advantages of this unit in daily operation include:

• Three independent baskets allow simultaneous cooking of different pasta types or portions
• Rapid recovery between batches supports consistent throughput during peak service
• Stainless steel construction throughout is durable and straightforward to clean down after service
• Freestanding format suits both new installations and replacing a like-for-like unit
• Part of the Fagor 900 Series, so it aligns dimensionally with other appliances and stands in the same range

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply — this is not a single-phase unit, so it is worth confirming your available supply before ordering. At 65kg the unit is substantial; access and positioning should be planned in advance, particularly in kitchens with narrow runs or restricted delivery routes. The 400mm width makes it workable in tighter suites, but ventilation above the tank and adequate clearance around the unit should be considered as part of any installation plan.

The CP-E905 is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and any site where pasta forms a regular and significant part of the menu. It is most at home where volume justifies a dedicated pasta station rather than relying on general-purpose stockpots. For lower-volume kitchens where occasional pasta cookery is sufficient, a smaller or single-basket unit may be a more proportionate choice. For very high-volume operations running multiple pasta lines, a twin-well configuration is worth considering.
