Pasta cooker VEMA CP2098

The VEMA CP2098 pasta cooker is designed for professional kitchens, providing a dedicated vat to heat water quickly and maintain a consistent boil. This ensures pasta cooks evenly without clumping. Perforated baskets allow easy immersion and removal, keeping pasta separate from the cooking water until serving.

To operate, fill the vat to the indicated level, connect to a 230 V supply, and adjust the thermostat. Once boiling, lower the baskets of pasta into the water. Cooking completion can be checked visually or with a timer before lifting the baskets to drain.

Constructed from stainless steel, the unit offers durability and resistance to corrosion, with a smooth surface that simplifies cleaning. Its dimensions—480 mm wide, 400 mm deep, and 350 mm high—fit standard worktops or can be shelf-mounted. Weighing 10 kg, it remains stable during use while being manageable for repositioning.

A 1.5 kW heating element is compatible with standard kitchen power supplies. The 4.5 L vat accommodates batches of dry pasta efficiently, ensuring quick turnaround without overcrowding.

Maintenance involves cleaning the vat, baskets, and exterior surfaces after each use. Scrub with a non-abrasive pad and detergent, rinse, and dry. The stainless steel finish resists damage from hard or acidic water, and no internal disassembly is required for routine cleaning.

This model is a single-vat pasta cooker without extra compartments or programmable settings. It is categorised alongside other countertop cooking equipment, such as boiling tops and bain-maries.
