CASTA EASY 700 E7/KPE2V80 Electric Pasta Fryer

An electric pasta fryer heats two independent vats of water to a controlled temperature, allowing pasta to be cooked evenly and quickly. The heating elements transfer energy directly into the water, while a thermostat maintains the set point between 50 °C and 100 °C. This method ensures consistent results and rapid recovery when fresh batches are added, which is essential for high-volume service in professional kitchens. To operate the fryer, the operator fills each 28 L tank via the taps inside the cabinet, then sets the thermostat to the desired temperature. Once the water reaches the set point, the heating indicator light confirms the elements are active. Pasta is lowered into the water in baskets that rest on false bottoms, preventing direct contact with the hot tank surface and reducing the risk of sticking or burning. After cooking, the baskets are lifted onto the perforated stainless steel rack at the front, where excess water drains away. The overflow area with its double starch-draining system collects residual starch, keeping the water cleaner for longer and reducing the frequency of water changes. The fryer is constructed from two grades of stainless steel: AISI 304 for the worktop, cabinet and legs, and AISI 316 for the tanks. Both materials are corrosion-resistant and comply with hygiene standards for food contact. The tanks are pressed in one piece with rounded corners, which eliminates crevices where food debris could accumulate. The worktop is 1.2 mm thick, providing a stable surface for loading and unloading baskets. A rear chimney element vents steam and heat away from the cooking area, improving comfort for kitchen staff. Controls are simple and accessible. A single thermostat per tank regulates temperature, while two indicator lights show power and heating status. The drainage system uses a stainless steel ball valve operated by a front lever, allowing quick and safe water removal without tools. Adjustable legs enable the unit to be levelled on uneven floors, ensuring stability during operation. The 14 kW power rating indicates the load the fryer places on the electrical supply. A 400 V three-phase connection is required, which is standard in professional kitchens but must be confirmed before installation. The overall footprint of 400 mm depth, 700 mm width and 850 mm height determines the space the fryer occupies on the worktop or floor, and the weight of the unit affects how it is moved and positioned. The seamless AISI 316 tanks with rounded corners let you wipe away starch residue in seconds without scrubbing crevices. The stainless steel surfaces can be wiped down with standard kitchen sanitising agents. The rounded corners and smooth welds of the tanks reduce the effort needed to remove starch and food residue. The drainage system allows the tanks to be emptied completely, and the ball valve can be removed for thorough cleaning if required. The perforated rack and overflow area should be cleaned after each service to prevent starch build-up. Baskets and lids are not included with the fryer and must be ordered separately. The unit is categorised as a pasta fryer in professional catering catalogues, distinguishing it from general-purpose fryers by its dual-tank configuration and specialised drainage system.
