Basket for pasta cooker MBM A660025

A pasta cooker basket holds dry pasta below the waterline in a boiling pasta cooker, allowing even heat penetration and preventing clumping. The perforated base ensures rapid water circulation around each strand, cooking the pasta uniformly while letting starch escape. This method reduces sticking and keeps the water at a consistent temperature, which is essential for al dente results in a professional kitchen.

To use the basket, fill the pasta cooker with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Lower the basket into the water, add the measured pasta, and ensure it is fully submerged. Once the pasta reaches the desired texture, lift the basket clear of the water, allowing it to drain before transferring the pasta to a serving vessel or holding station.

The basket is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. Its dimensions of 115 mm depth, 300 mm width and 125 mm height provide a compact yet practical capacity for batch cooking. The size allows it to fit standard pasta cookers while leaving enough room for water circulation around the pasta.

This basket is compatible with MBM pasta cookers and is listed under pasta cooker accessories in the catering equipment catalogue.
