LOTUS Electric Pasta Cooking Machine 25 Litre CPT-66ET

An electric pasta cooking machine boils water in a sealed tank, circulating heat evenly through submerged heating elements. The water temperature is held at a rolling boil, ensuring pasta cooks uniformly without sticking or clumping. A thermostat monitors the heat, cutting power if the water overheats, while a water level sensor prevents the elements from running dry. The perforated baskets lower into the tank, keeping pasta submerged and separating batches when multiple shapes are cooked at once.

To operate the LOTUS CPT-66ET, fill the 25 litre tank to the marked level using the front tap or a hose. Set the 4-position control switch to the desired temperature range, then switch on the heating elements. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, lower the perforated basket filled with pasta into the tank. Monitor the cooking time, then lift the basket to drain. The front drain tap empties the tank for cleaning or water changes between batches.

The appliance is constructed from CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite finish, including a 1 mm thick worktop and rounded edges for safety and durability. The tank is made of AISI 316 stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance for frequent boiling and draining. Chrome-plated details and IPX5-rated waterproof control knobs protect against splashes and steam in a busy kitchen. Adjustable feet and a fixing system secure the unit to the floor or worktop, preventing movement during use.

A 6.25 kW power rating requires a 400 V 3-phase electrical supply, typical of commercial kitchens with high-demand equipment. The 600 x 600 mm footprint fits standard worktop depths, while the 280 mm height allows under-counter installation where space is limited. The 42 kg weight ensures stability but may require two people to move during installation.

Daily maintenance involves draining the tank through the front tap, wiping down the interior with a non-abrasive cloth, and rinsing the perforated baskets. The front control panel provides access to serviceable parts, including the heating elements and thermostat. Perforated baskets are available in various configurations to suit different pasta shapes and batch sizes.

The CPT-66ET is a single-tank pasta cooking machine designed for professional kitchens requiring consistent, high-volume pasta preparation. It is categorised under electric pasta cookers in the LOTUS commercial catering equipment range.
