Pasta cooker LOTUS 0810A435

A pasta cooker boils water in a stainless-steel tank, keeping it at a steady temperature so strands cook evenly without sticking or breaking. The water circulates around the pasta, transferring heat quickly and uniformly, while a perforated basket lowers the product into the bath and lifts it out when done. This method avoids the uneven heat of a hob and the need to stir, freeing the chef to work on other tasks while the pasta reaches the right texture.

The operator fills the tank to the marked level, sets the desired temperature on the 4.3 in touch screen, and selects one of four programmable timers. The unit heats the water, maintains the chosen temperature up to 80 °C, then automatically switches to a maximum-hold mode once the timer expires. Three water-fill speeds let the user match the flow to the pasta type, reducing boil-over and foam. An automatic refill system with a level sensor keeps the water at the correct height throughout service. When the pasta is ready, the basket is lifted, drained, and transferred to a bain-marie or plating station.

The entire structure is built from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel, satin-finished with Scotch-Brite for durability and easy cleaning. The cooking tank itself is made from thicker AISI 316 stainless steel for extra corrosion resistance. Rounded edges, a 2 mm worktop, and chrome-plated details reduce sharp corners, while a rear protective panel shields the controls from splashes. Rotating heating elements simplify tank cleaning, and a floor drain with overflow protection prevents water damage to the kitchen floor.

The 4.3 in touch screen controls all functions: temperature setting, timer selection, water-fill speed, and steam mode. An Energy Saving function reduces power consumption during idle periods, and a safety thermostat cuts power if the temperature exceeds safe limits. WiFi and Cloud connectivity allow remote monitoring, diagnostics, and control from a tablet or smartphone, so the chef can check the cooker's status without leaving the pass.

A 25 L capacity tank holds enough water to cook large batches of pasta without crowding. The 7.8 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase circuit, which is standard in professional kitchens but must be confirmed before installation. The 48 kg weight means the unit should be positioned on a sturdy worktop or stand, and adjustable legs ensure stability on uneven floors. The 400 × 705 × 900 mm footprint fits into most commercial kitchen layouts, while the tank's internal dimensions of 305 × 330 × 327 mm determine the size of pasta batches that can be cooked at once.

Cleaning involves draining the tank, wiping down the stainless-steel surfaces with a non-abrasive cloth, and using the rotating heating elements to loosen any stuck-on residue. The overflow drain and floor outlet simplify water removal, and the satin finish resists fingerprints and smudges. Perforated stainless-steel pasta baskets, available separately in various sizes, fit the tank and allow for different pasta shapes and quantities.

The cooker is designed for professional kitchens requiring precise temperature control and batch consistency. WiFi and Cloud features support remote management, making it suitable for multi-site operations or kitchens where equipment is monitored centrally. The steam function expands its use to blanching vegetables or reheating sauces, while the programmable timers ensure repeatable results across shifts.

Compatible with standard 400 V three-phase power supplies, the unit is built for continuous service in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations. Adjustable legs and a rear protective panel adapt to different kitchen layouts, and the corrosion-resistant materials extend its lifespan in high-moisture environments.
