Electric Pasta Cookers and Baskets

The Lincat PB33 is a countertop, single-tank electric pasta boiler designed for consistent, repeated pasta cookery in professional kitchen environments. It uses a thermostatic control system to maintain water at a stable temperature throughout service, which matters when you are cooking pasta to the same specification batch after batch across a busy shift. The tank and heating elements are constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, which holds up well against the demands of continuous hot water use.

In practice, the PB33 performs reliably during sustained service periods. The thermostat removes the need for constant manual adjustment, and the unit recovers well between batches when operating within its intended capacity. The hinging element design allows straightforward access to the tank interior without removing components entirely, making mid-service checks and end-of-day cleaning considerably more manageable than on fixed-element alternatives.

From an operational standpoint, several design details make a practical difference in a working kitchen:

• Front-mounted controls allow safe operation without reaching across the unit
• Front drain taps simplify water changes and end-of-service drainage
• Hinging element with safety cut-out supports safe, accessible tank cleaning
• Stainless steel tank and elements resist corrosion from continuous water contact
• Basket configurations can be adjusted to suit different pasta types and portion sizes

The PB33 is a countertop unit and requires a suitable work surface or stand with adequate clearance for safe operation. Being electrically powered, it needs a properly rated electrical supply, and connection should be carried out by a qualified electrician. It is worth confirming your existing supply is compatible before ordering.

This unit is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where pasta features regularly on the menu and service volumes are moderate. Kitchens running very high covers, or needing to cook multiple pasta varieties simultaneously, may find a twin-tank configuration better matched to their throughput requirements.

If you would like to talk through whether the PB33 is the right fit for your operation before going ahead, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Giorik CPE946 is a twin tank electric pasta boiler designed for continuous, high-volume pasta and noodle production in commercial kitchens. Each tank operates independently, giving kitchens the flexibility to run different products simultaneously or stagger cooking cycles to maintain consistent throughput during service. The unit is built from 316 marine-grade stainless steel on the tank interior — a meaningful distinction in pasta cooking, where salt use can cause accelerated corrosion in lower-grade materials over time.

In a busy kitchen environment, pasta boilers take considerable punishment. The CPE946 is built to sustain that kind of demand, with each tank sized to handle the volumes expected of a serious pasta station. The dual-tank configuration means one tank can be refreshed or cleaned without interrupting service from the other — a practical advantage during a long service period. Starch overflow drainage is built in, keeping the water cleaner for longer and reducing the frequency of full water changes during a shift.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this unit include:

• Independent twin tanks for simultaneous cooking of different products
• Integral overflow drainage to manage starch build-up during service
• Basket drainage area for efficient portioning and water removal
• Marine-grade tank construction to resist salt-related corrosion
• Suitable for pasta, noodles, vegetables, shellfish and similar products

At 18kW total draw, this unit requires a dedicated electrical supply and should be assessed against the available capacity in your kitchen. At 100kg, installation will require appropriate positioning prior to connection — access for ongoing cleaning and maintenance should be factored into placement. Baskets are not included with the unit and will need to be selected separately from the accessories range.

The CPE946 is well suited to restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering sites with a consistent demand for pasta or noodle dishes. Where volume requirements are lower, a single-tank model may be a more proportionate choice. For very high-output sites running multiple sittings with significant pasta throughput, it is worth discussing whether a larger or supplementary setup would better support the operation.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen's electrical setup or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Giorik CPE926 is a single tank electric pasta boiler built for continuous use in commercial kitchens. With a 40-litre tank capacity and an 8.3kW heating element, it is designed to handle steady throughput of pasta, noodles, vegetables, shellfish such as mussels, and other boiled or blanched items throughout a service period. The unit is constructed from 316 marine-grade stainless steel on the tank itself — a deliberate choice that resists the corrosion caused by prolonged salt use, which is a common failure point on lower-specification units.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistent water temperature is what determines output quality and timing. The CPE926 is configured to support a high ratio of pasta to water volume, which helps maintain temperature recovery between batches during peak service. A built-in overflow system allows starch-laden water to drain away continuously, which keeps the cooking water cleaner and reduces the frequency of full water changes during service.

From an operational standpoint, the design includes practical features that support kitchen workflow:

• 316 marine-grade stainless steel tank resists salt-related corrosion over time
• Integrated basket drainage area simplifies portioning and plating
• Overflow system removes starch continuously during service
• Single tank layout suits kitchens with moderate to high pasta output
• Stainless steel construction supports straightforward daily cleaning

Installation requires a suitable 8.3kW electrical supply — this should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before ordering, as some older kitchen supplies may need upgrading. At 65kg the unit has a substantial footprint and weight, so bench strength and positioning should be assessed in advance. Baskets are not included with the unit and will need to be selected separately from the accessories range.

The CPE926 is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where pasta or noodle dishes feature regularly on the menu. It is a practical single tank option for sites with consistent but not exceptionally high volume. For kitchens running multiple concurrent pasta stations or very high covers, a twin tank configuration may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the CPE926 is the right fit for your service volume or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Buffalo 600 Series electric pasta cooker is a dedicated countertop cooking station designed for kitchens that serve pasta, noodles, dumplings, or blanched vegetables as a regular part of the menu. Rather than tying up a hob position for boiling water throughout service, it provides a self-contained, purpose-built solution that keeps that work separate and consistent.

The unit features a 15-litre tank designed to connect directly to a mains water supply. A front-mounted fill tap lets staff top up the water quickly without moving the machine or carrying jugs, and a separate front drain tap means the tank can be emptied cleanly at the end of service or during a quiet period. Temperature is adjustable across a wide range, and the unit works with separate mesh baskets, making it straightforward to cook multiple portions simultaneously or hold different products at different stages.

In practical terms, the main operational advantages are:

• Frees up hob positions for other cooking during busy service periods
• Plumbed water supply reduces downtime between orders
• Front-mounted fill and drain taps support fast, clean turnaround
• Mesh basket system allows portion-by-portion cooking to order
• Consistent temperature control helps deliver reliable results across a full service

The unit is hardwired and will need a suitable electrical connection arranged prior to installation. It is a countertop appliance only — the base cupboard is sold separately, so factor that into your planning if you need it at a workable height within a cook line. At 400mm wide, it fits comfortably into tighter kitchen layouts and is designed to sit alongside other Buffalo 600 Series appliances if you are building or extending a modular line.

This pasta cooker is well suited to restaurants, cafés, and contract catering operations where pasta or noodle dishes form a consistent part of the menu. For very high-volume sites turning out large batch quantities continuously through a long service, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit would be a better fit for your throughput.

If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or want to talk through the installation requirements, our team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Hobart Ecomax HECPE74A is a freestanding electric pasta cooker with a 26-litre tank capacity, designed for the demands of a working commercial kitchen. The tank is fabricated from AISI 316 stainless steel, a grade chosen specifically for its resistance to the corrosive effects of salted boiling water — the operating environment that causes standard stainless steel to deteriorate over time. Moulded construction with rounded internal corners simplifies daily cleaning and reduces the hidden build-up that straight-edged tanks can accumulate.

In service, a pasta cooker of this capacity is well suited to supporting consistent throughput across a busy lunch or dinner service. The 5.5kW electric element brings water to temperature reliably and supports reasonable recovery between batches — important when orders are coming through continuously rather than intermittently. This is the kind of workhorse appliance that suits kitchens where pasta dishes feature regularly on the menu rather than occasionally.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• AISI 316 tank resists salt-water corrosion, extending service life
• Rounded internal corners speed up end-of-service cleaning
• Electric operation — no gas supply or flue required
• Compact 400mm wide footprint suits space-constrained kitchen lines
• Moulded tank construction reduces maintenance points

Installation requires a suitable 5.5kW electrical supply, and at 50kg the unit will need a stable, level surface — ideally a purpose-built stand or the appropriate section of a cooking suite. Being electric, there are no gas or ventilation requirements specific to the appliance itself, though standard kitchen extraction should be in place above any pasta cooking position. The 400mm width makes it workable on tighter cooking lines, though the 730mm depth should be factored into bench or island planning.

This cooker is well matched to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where pasta forms a regular part of the menu and a consistent, reliable output is more important than very high-volume batch cooking. For sites running extremely high covers or operating multiple pasta stations simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity unit would better match the throughput required.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume or kitchen layout, the team is happy to work through the options with you before you commit.

The Buffalo 600 Series electric pasta cooker is a dedicated countertop cooking station designed to handle pasta, noodles, dumplings, and blanched vegetables in a commercial kitchen environment. Rather than tying up a hob position for high-volume boiling work, this unit gives operators a purpose-built station with a large tank, separate mesh baskets, and adjustable temperature control — all within a compact 400mm-wide footprint.

In a busy service environment, the plumbed water connection is a practical advantage. The front-mounted fill tap allows the tank to be topped up quickly without moving the unit or carrying jugs, and the front drain tap makes end-of-service drainage and cleaning straightforward. For kitchens running continuous pasta service across a lunch and dinner cover, that ease of turnaround matters. The corrosion-resistant tank holds up well to the demands of sustained daily use.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical benefits are:

• Dedicated boiling station frees up hob positions for other cooking tasks
• Plumbed fill and front drain tap reduce handling time during and after service
• Separate mesh baskets allow multiple portions or ingredients to be cooked simultaneously
• Adjustable temperature control supports consistent, repeatable cooking results
• Mounted on a base cupboard, bringing it to a workable height and adding storage beneath

Installation requires a hardwired electrical connection — this is not a plug-in appliance, so a qualified electrician will need to make the supply connection before use. The unit also requires a mains cold water supply and a suitable waste connection for the drain tap. Check that both are accessible at the intended installation point before ordering. At just under 27kg, the unit is manageable to position, but the combined weight of unit plus water should be considered when assessing the bench or base cupboard it sits on.

This pasta cooker is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where pasta dishes form a regular part of the menu. It works best where there is a consistent volume of orders rather than occasional use — the plumbed setup rewards kitchens that need it running regularly. For very high-volume sites running multiple services with heavy throughput, a heavier-duty or larger-capacity unit may serve better. Equally, for kitchens with only occasional pasta requirements, a simpler boiling arrangement might be more practical.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your service volume or kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Buffalo 8 litre pasta cooker is a compact, countertop unit designed for continuous pasta cookery in commercial kitchens. It heats a full 8 litre water capacity and holds it at temperature throughout service, allowing repeated batches of pasta to be cooked and lifted without the delays associated with bringing a standard pot back to the boil from scratch. The built-in timer supports consistent results across different pasta types, which matters when multiple cooks are working the same section at pace.

In practice, this unit suits kitchens where pasta features regularly on the menu but volume does not demand a multi-basket floor-standing cooker. It sits neatly on a countertop or pass and is well suited to small to medium restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where counter space is at a premium and throughput is steady rather than very high. The stainless steel construction holds up well to the damp, high-temperature environment around a pasta station and is straightforward to keep clean.

Key operational advantages include:

• Built-in timer supports consistent cook times across pasta varieties
• Front-mounted drain tap allows fast, safe water changes between services
• Stainless steel body resists corrosion in wet station environments
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens with limited space
• Simple controls allow quick adjustments during a busy service

Installation is straightforward — the unit runs from a standard electrical supply and requires no fixed plumbing, as filling and draining are handled manually. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, as steam output during heavy use is significant. At 10kg the cooker is easy to reposition for cleaning.

For sites running very high pasta volumes across multiple sittings, it is worth considering a larger-capacity or multi-basket model before committing. If you are unsure whether this unit will keep pace with your service, we are happy to talk it through.

The Fagor CP-E910 is a freestanding electric pasta cooker from the 900 Series range, built for kitchens where pasta forms a significant part of the menu. It features two independent wells, each accommodating separate baskets, giving a total of six baskets across the unit. This allows multiple pasta types or portions to be cooked simultaneously, which is particularly useful when running a busy à la carte or banqueting service where timing and throughput matter.

In practice, the 24kW three-phase power supply means both wells heat from cold relatively quickly, and recovery time between batches is kept short even during sustained service periods. This is one of the more capable electric pasta cookers available at this capacity level, and operators running high covers or multiple sittings will find the dual-well configuration reduces the bottlenecks that can occur with a single-well unit.

From an operational standpoint, the main practical advantages are:

• Six independent baskets allow different pasta types or portion sizes to cook at once
• Dual wells give flexibility to isolate one side during quieter service periods
• Stainless steel construction supports daily cleaning routines and withstands heavy kitchen use
• Part of the Fagor 900 Series, so it integrates neatly with other units in that range
• Freestanding design suits both new installations and replacement of existing equipment

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, which is standard in most commercial kitchens but should be confirmed before ordering. At 100kg, the unit is substantial and will need appropriate floor loading consideration and suitable access during delivery. It is 800mm wide, so it fits within a standard 900 Series suite configuration without modification.

The CP-E910 is well suited to Italian restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and any site where pasta output is consistent and high-volume. Operators running a smaller pasta menu or lighter covers may find a single-well unit more appropriate, whilst very high-volume production sites may benefit from a heavier-duty alternative. If you are unsure which configuration fits your service pattern best, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

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.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service volume or want to talk through how it would sit within your existing suite, the team is happy to work through it with you before you commit.

The Blue Seal E47 is a floor-standing electric pasta cooker designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens. Built around a 40-litre well heated by three heavy-duty Incoloy 825 coil elements, it comes supplied with four stainless steel wire baskets and a support grid. It is a single-pan unit intended to deliver consistent, uninterrupted pasta output across a full service.

Recovery speed is where this unit justifies its place during busy service. The triple-element configuration brings the well back to temperature quickly between basket loads, keeping throughput steady when covers are at their highest. Boil, simmer, and standby settings give the brigade control across the duration of service without constant supervision. A safety cut-out thermostat provides protection against dry running — a practical safeguard in a pressured kitchen where attention is spread across multiple stations.

For day-to-day operation, the E47 includes several features that help service run more smoothly:

• Hinged basket drain stand keeps used baskets clear of the work surface between loads
• Integrated water fill and starch-skimming faucet simplifies water management during service
• 25mm drain valve allows fast, straightforward emptying at the end of service
• Enamelled control panel is robust and easy to wipe down
• Front legs with rear castors allow repositioning without lifting

The E47 is a floor-standing unit and requires a dedicated station with adequate floor space and close access to drainage. Electrical supply requirements should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before purchase, as site conditions will determine the appropriate specification. In hard-water areas, a regular descaling routine is necessary to protect the elements and maintain efficiency — worth factoring into your maintenance schedule from the outset.

This unit is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where pasta features regularly on the menu and mid-to-high volume output is expected throughout service. For very high-volume or multi-station operations, a twin-pan or higher-output model may be a more practical fit. If your volumes are more modest, lower-output alternatives are available within the range.

If you would like to talk through whether the E47 fits your kitchen's layout and service demands, the team is happy to help before you commit.

The Lincat PB66 is a twin tank electric pasta boiler designed for commercial kitchens where pasta appears consistently on the menu. Each tank operates independently, which allows different pasta types or portion sizes to be cooked simultaneously — a practical advantage when orders vary across a busy service.

In operation, the PB66 holds up well under the repeated demands of a continuous service. Thermostatic control maintains stable water temperature across successive batches, which supports consistent results when pasta dishes are being turned around throughout the day. The independent tank arrangement also means one side can be refreshed or briefly rested without interrupting output from the other — a useful characteristic when demand shifts unevenly across a sitting.

Several design details reflect practical kitchen use:

• Front-mounted controls keep adjustments accessible without reaching over hot surfaces
• Hinging element with safety cut-out allows straightforward access for cleaning between services
• Front drain taps simplify water changes at the end of service without having to lift or move the unit
• Stainless steel tanks and elements offer durability suited to regular commercial use
• Basket configurations can be adapted to different portion sizes and pasta types

As an electric unit, installation is generally more straightforward than a gas equivalent — there is no gas supply or flue to account for. You will need an appropriate power supply to support the unit's load, a stable worktop position, and drainage within reach. Extraction above the cooking area should also be confirmed before installation, as steam output during service is considerable.

The PB66 is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations where pasta is a regular menu fixture and a reliable twin tank unit is enough to meet service demand. For very high-volume sites — large pasta-focused restaurants or high-throughput canteens — a heavier-duty model with greater combined capacity may be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether the PB66 fits your kitchen layout and service volumes, our team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

The Lincat Opus OE8701 is a single-tank electric pasta boiler designed for permanent installation at a dedicated pasta station. Unlike countertop pasta cookers filled manually, this unit connects directly to a mains cold water supply and a plumbed waste outlet, making it a fixed piece of equipment intended to run throughout a full service without manual intervention. Beyond pasta, it can also operate as a steamer or bain marie, which gives operators some practical flexibility when the menu or service format changes.

Consistent water temperature is the critical factor in keeping a pasta station productive during a busy service. The OE8701 uses a two-position fill setting — a fast fill mode for initial heat-up and a trickle fill mode for topping up during service. This approach limits the temperature drop that comes with adding large volumes of cold water, helping to maintain recovery times and throughput across a full sitting. Boil-dry protection provides a useful safeguard during periods when the unit is running without close attention.

Several design details contribute to practical daily use:

• Flush-fitting plate elements reduce food trap points and simplify end-of-service cleaning
• Corrosion-resistant elements are better suited to continuous water contact across multiple services
• An internal drainage tap makes end-of-day draining straightforward without lifting or tipping the unit
• The plumbed waste connection removes the need to empty the tank manually between services

Because this unit requires a plumbed cold water supply, a waste connection, and a suitable electrical supply, it is not a plug-and-go appliance. Installation planning is important, particularly where under-counter services access is limited. It is worth involving your installer at an early stage to confirm that water, waste, and electrical connections can be brought to the intended location without significant remedial work.

The OE8701 is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where pasta features regularly on the menu and the volume of covers justifies a dedicated boiler at a fixed station. Kitchens with lighter or more occasional pasta output may find a smaller countertop unit more appropriate. Where an operation is running several pasta dishes simultaneously at high volume, a twin-tank configuration may be worth considering to avoid bottlenecks during peak service.

If you are unsure whether a single-tank unit will match your service volumes, or you want to talk through installation requirements before committing, the team is happy to work through the details with you.
