LOTUS Electric Pasta Cooking Machine 40 Litre CP-76ET

A professional pasta cooking machine heats water electrically to cook pasta in bulk without sticking or uneven results. High-performance heating elements beneath the tank raise the water temperature quickly and maintain it evenly across the entire volume. The perforated baskets lower into the hot water, allowing the pasta to circulate freely while the water temperature stays constant. An integrated safety thermostat prevents overheating, and the 4-position control switch lets the operator set the exact cooking stage required for different pasta shapes and quantities.

To operate the machine, fill the tank with water—either manually or via the optional automatic water-filling system—and set the desired temperature on the control switch. Once the water reaches the correct temperature, lower the perforated baskets loaded with pasta into the tank. The safety handles on the baskets keep the operator clear of the hot water, and the overflow safety valve prevents spillage if the water level rises too high. After cooking, lift the baskets out and allow the water to drain through the integrated taps. The machine can be set to drain automatically, emptying the tank for cleaning or between batches.

The construction is entirely stainless steel: the outer body and worktop are 18/10 AISI 304 grade, 1 mm thick with rounded edges and a Scotch-Brite satin finish, while the tank itself is made of AISI 316 stainless steel for extra corrosion resistance. Chrome-plated components and IPX5-rated water-resistant control knobs protect against splashes and steam. The front control panel removes easily to give access to all serviceable parts, and the heating elements rotate out of the tank to simplify cleaning.

The 13.5 kW power rating requires a 400 V 3-phase supply, suitable for commercial kitchens with dedicated circuits. The 600 x 705 x 900 mm footprint fits on a standard worktop or can be placed on the floor with the adjustable feet levelled for stability. The 40 L capacity allows cooking for large service volumes, and the machine's 78 kg weight ensures it stays steady during operation.

Cleaning involves draining the tank, rotating the heating elements out of the way, and wiping down the stainless steel surfaces. The rounded edges and satin finish reduce food adhesion, and the chrome-plated components resist tarnishing. The machine is available in single or double tank configurations, with optional automatic water filling and a water level sensor. Perforated baskets come in various sizes to cook multiple dishes simultaneously, and the integrated drain taps and overflow safety valve streamline daily use.
