LOTUS Gas Pasta Cooker 25 L with Adjustable Compartments

A gas pasta cooker heats water in a deep vat by burning gas beneath it, creating a rolling boil that cooks pasta evenly and quickly. The heat rises through the base, warming the water without direct flame contact, while a thermostat or safety system prevents overheating. Gas burners provide instant, controllable heat, making it possible to adjust the intensity for different pasta types or batch sizes. The vat's depth and volume allow large quantities to cook at once, while the water's movement keeps strands from sticking together, ensuring consistent results without manual stirring.

The LOTUS Gas Pasta Cooker 25 L is designed for continuous use in professional kitchens, with adjustable compartments that divide the vat into sections. The operator selects a configuration—such as one full vat, two halves, four quarters, or six smaller sections—depending on the quantity and type of pasta being cooked. Water is filled through the built-in tap, and the gas is ignited electrically via a pilot light. The thermocouple safety system shuts off the gas if the flame extinguishes, while a water-level sensor prevents operation if the vat is too low. Once boiling, pasta is lowered into the water in perforated baskets, which allow water to circulate while keeping the product contained. After cooking, the baskets are lifted out, and the water can be drained through the integrated overflow system and floor outlet for quick cleaning.

Constructed entirely from 18/10 CrNi AISI 304 stainless steel, the unit resists corrosion and withstands heavy use. The cooking vat itself is made from AISI 316 stainless steel for added durability in wet environments. The worktop is 2 mm thick with rounded edges, finished in a Scotch-Brite satin polish, while chrome-plated details and a rear protective panel enhance both appearance and hygiene. Waterproof IPX5-rated control handles ensure safe operation even when wet, and adjustable legs provide stability on uneven floors. A conversion kit for liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or natural gas is included, allowing the cooker to adapt to different kitchen setups.

The 9.5 kW gas burner delivers rapid heat-up times, reducing waiting periods between batches, while the minimal 0.02 kW electrical requirement powers only the ignition and safety systems. The 230 V supply connects to a standard single-phase circuit, making installation straightforward in most commercial kitchens. The 25 L capacity allows for cooking large quantities of pasta in a single cycle, while the 400x705x900 mm footprint fits into standard worktop layouts without requiring excessive space. The 61 kg weight ensures the unit remains stable during operation but may require two people to move during installation.

Cleaning is simplified by the removable front control panel, which provides access to all internal components. The overflow system and floor drain allow the vat to be emptied quickly, while the smooth stainless steel surfaces can be wiped down or scrubbed without trapping food debris. Perforated pasta baskets, though not included, are available in various sizes to match the compartment configurations, each with heat-insulated handles for safe handling. Regular maintenance involves checking the thermocouple, water-level sensor, and gas connections to ensure safe and efficient operation.

The cooker is available in configurations that support different compartment setups, allowing kitchens to switch between single large batches or multiple smaller ones as needed. The included gas conversion kit ensures compatibility with either natural gas or LPG supplies, making it adaptable to most professional kitchen setups. This model is categorised under professional gas pasta cookers, designed for high-volume cooking in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations.
