LOTUS Electric Pasta Cooking Machine 17 Litre CPT-74ET

An electric pasta cooking machine heats water in a stainless steel tank with submerged elements, maintaining a steady temperature to cook pasta evenly without sticking. The water circulates gently around the pasta, ensuring consistent texture and preventing clumping. A perforated basket lowers into the tank, holding the pasta clear of the elements while the water does the work. Once the pasta is cooked, the basket lifts out, draining the water back into the tank for the next batch.

To operate the LOTUS CPT-74ET, fill the 17 litre tank with water to the marked level, then switch on the power. The four-position control switch sets the temperature, which the built-in thermostat maintains automatically. Lower the perforated basket loaded with pasta into the tank and leave it to cook. The water level sensor prevents operation if the tank is too low, protecting the elements. When the pasta is ready, lift the basket, let it drain, then empty the contents onto a tray or into a serving container. A front-mounted tap allows quick draining of the tank for cleaning or water changes.

The machine is built from 18/10 CrNi stainless steel, with a 1 mm thick worktop, rounded edges and chrome-plated details for durability and hygiene. The tank itself is made from AISI 316 stainless steel, offering higher corrosion resistance for frequent use with salted water. The control handles are IPX5 water-resistant, allowing safe operation in wet environments. Adjustable legs with a locking system ensure stable placement on uneven floors.

The 4.1 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase supply, standard in professional kitchens for high-demand equipment. The 17 litre capacity allows cooking up to 35 kg of pasta in a single batch, suitable for medium to large service volumes. The footprint of 400 x 705 x 280 mm fits on a standard worktop or counter, with the tank dimensions of 310 x 335 x 220 mm providing ample space for the basket and water circulation.

Cleaning is straightforward: remove the basket, drain the tank through the front tap, and wipe down the stainless steel surfaces. The control panel is designed for easy access to all serviceable parts, with no hidden areas that trap food debris. Different perforated basket configurations are available to suit various pasta shapes and sizes.
