The Fagor C-I945 is a freestanding double well gas pasta cooker from the 900 Series range, designed to handle sustained pasta output in busy commercial kitchens. It features two independent wells, each equipped with three pasta baskets, giving operators six separate cooking zones simultaneously — useful where a menu runs multiple pasta types to order during a busy service.

With a combined output of 32kW across the two wells, the unit heats water quickly from cold and recovers temperature effectively between batches. This matters in practice: a pasta cooker that struggles to recover between drops slows the pass and creates bottlenecks during peak covers. The C-I945 is built to keep pace with continuous demand rather than managing it in short bursts.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

Six individual baskets allow simultaneous cooking of different pasta types and portion sizes
Independent well operation gives flexibility to scale down during quieter periods
Stainless steel construction throughout supports robust daily use and straightforward cleaning
Part of the Fagor 900 Series, so it integrates neatly with compatible suite equipment and stands
Freestanding format means no structural installation requirements beyond gas and water connections

Installation requires a natural gas supply with adequate pressure, a water feed to each well, and appropriate drainage. At 109kg, the unit will need careful positioning during installation. As with all open-well pasta cookers, adequate ventilation or extraction above the unit is standard good practice. The footprint suits a mid-to-large kitchen pass or a dedicated pasta section.

This cooker is well suited to Italian restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where pasta features prominently on the menu and service volumes justify a dedicated unit. For smaller operations or those cooking pasta less frequently, a single-well model may be a more proportionate choice. Where volume is significantly higher, it is worth considering a heavier-duty or wider configuration.

If you're unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your service style or kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

How many covers can the C-I945 realistically handle during a busy service?

This depends heavily on portion size, pasta type, and drop frequency, but a double well unit with six baskets is generally suited to operations turning out pasta as a significant portion of their covers — think 100-plus pasta dishes per service rather than occasional orders. If pasta is a core part of a high-volume menu, the six-basket configuration gives you the flexibility to cook multiple varieties simultaneously and keep pace with continuous demand.

What are the key installation requirements for this pasta cooker?

The C-I945 runs on natural gas and requires a properly rated gas supply with appropriate pressure for a 32kW unit — your installer will need to confirm the supply is adequate. You'll also need a cold water feed to each well and suitable drainage for water changes and cleaning. Given the steam output of open-well pasta cookers, a canopy extraction system positioned above the unit is strongly recommended. At 109kg, the unit should be positioned on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight.

Is the C-I945 the right choice for a kitchen that only serves pasta occasionally?

Probably not. A double well unit of this capacity is best justified where pasta output is consistent and high throughout service. For kitchens where pasta is a secondary menu item or volumes are modest, a single well model would likely be a more practical and cost-effective fit — it's worth discussing your actual service volumes with us before deciding.
