Casselin Electric Pasta Cooker with Three Baskets CCAP3P

An electric pasta cooker heats a water basin with an incoloy-sheathed element, raising the temperature quickly and evenly. The water transfers heat to the pasta in the baskets, cooking it through without direct contact with the element. Adjustable temperature control lets the operator set the water to the exact heat needed for different pasta shapes and sizes, while a safety thermostat prevents overheating.

To use the cooker, fill the stainless steel basin with water up to the marked level. Place the pasta in the three baskets, each sized to hold a standard portion. Lower the baskets into the heated water, set the desired temperature on the control panel, and start the heating cycle. The water circulates naturally, ensuring even cooking. Once the pasta is done, lift the baskets out and drain them over the basin before serving.

The unit is built from stainless steel AISI 304 for the outer body and AISI 430 for the water basin, with an incoloy 820 heating element for durability and resistance to corrosion. The three baskets measure 100 mm deep, 138 mm wide and 135 mm high, fitting neatly into the internal container of 240 x 300 x 200 mm.

The 3.4 kW power rating means the cooker draws a steady load on a single-phase 230 V circuit, suitable for most professional kitchen setups. Its compact footprint of 270 x 420 x 300 mm allows it to sit on a worktop without crowding adjacent equipment, while the 12 kg weight makes it easy to move when needed.

The adjustable temperature range from 30 °C to 110 °C covers everything from gentle warming to rapid boiling, giving flexibility for different pasta types and cooking styles. The safety thermostat cuts power if the water overheats, protecting both the appliance and the operator.

Cleaning is straightforward: empty the water basin after each use, wipe down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth, and remove any food debris from the baskets. The incoloy element resists scale build-up, reducing the need for descaling.
