Blue Seal Cobra CP4 40Ltr 450mm Single Pan Pasta Cooker

The Blue Seal Cobra CP4 is a gas-fired single-pan pasta cooker built for continuous production in professional kitchens. It is designed to run through service without interruption, handling multiple pasta and noodle varieties simultaneously from a compact, modular footprint that integrates into a cooking suite or operates as a standalone unit.

The CP4 is built around Blue Seal's infrared burner system, which maintains a consistent water temperature across the full working range from rolling boil to standby simmer. The practical effect of this during service is fast water recovery after each basket drop — the kind of responsiveness that matters when a section is under pressure and portions need to turn around quickly. The standard five-basket configuration allows different pasta or noodle varieties to run in parallel, which suits kitchens running varied menus or serving multiple covers simultaneously.

• Fast water recovery after basket drops, keeping production moving during busy service
• Five-basket configuration supports simultaneous cooking of different pasta or noodle types
• Variable heat from full boil to standby simmer for flexible pacing across service
• Modular footprint integrates cleanly into a cooking suite or stands independently
• Consistent temperature control reduces the risk of unevenly cooked product

Installation requires a gas supply connection and adequate ventilation — a canopy or proximity extract hood suited to gas cooking equipment is necessary. The unit should be positioned on a stable, level surface with reasonable access for cleaning the pan and basket assembly. Gas connection must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

The CP4 is well suited to restaurants, noodle bars, and Asian cuisine operations where pasta and noodle dishes form a consistent part of the menu. For sites running very high continuous volumes across a large number of covers, a twin-pan or higher-capacity configuration may be worth considering. Lower-volume operations may find a smaller unit better matched to their actual throughput.
