LOTUS Gas Pasta Cooker 40 L with Stainless Steel Vat

A gas pasta cooker heats water in a deep stainless steel vat with powerful burners beneath. The heat rises through the water, bringing it to a rolling boil that cooks pasta evenly and quickly. The vat's large surface area allows multiple baskets to be lowered at once, so batches are ready in minutes without crowding. Because the water stays at a constant high temperature, the pasta does not stick or clump, and the cook can time each batch precisely by watching the bubbles and steam.

To start, the operator fills the vat with water through the built-in tap, then lights the gas burners. The burners are controlled by knobs that adjust the flame, so the water can be kept at a gentle simmer or a vigorous boil. Once the water reaches temperature, perforated baskets of pasta are lowered into the vat. The operator watches the cooking time, lifts the baskets when done, and lets the water drain back into the vat. The same water can be reused for several batches, saving energy and water.

The unit is built from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a satin Scotch-Brite finish, giving a smooth, durable worktop that resists scratches and corrosion. The vat itself is made from AISI 316 stainless steel, which withstands the constant heat and moisture of boiling water. Rounded edges and a rear splash guard make the surface safer and easier to clean. Chromed details and an IPX5-rated water-resistant control panel protect the electronics from steam and splashes.

Controls include gas knobs with thermocouple safety valves that shut off the gas if the flame goes out, preventing leaks. An overflow protection system and floor drain connection allow excess water to be removed without spilling. The unit stands on adjustable legs for stability on uneven floors, and the front control panel can be removed for access to the burners and plumbing.

The 40 L capacity means the vat holds enough water to cook large batches of pasta without refilling. The 13.95 kW gas input provides the heat needed to bring that volume to the boil quickly and keep it there, while the 230 V electrical connection powers the ignition and safety systems. The 400 mm depth fits against a worktop or wall, leaving space for baskets and utensils beside it. The 68 kg weight keeps the unit stable during use, so it does not shift when baskets are lifted in and out.

Cleaning is straightforward: the front panel comes off for access to the burners and vat, and the stainless steel surfaces can be wiped down with a cloth or scrubbed with a non-abrasive pad. The vat drains through the floor connection, so no water is left standing. The unit comes with a single end closure panel and conversion nozzles for both natural gas and LPG, so it can be installed in kitchens with either supply.

The catalogue places this model in the professional gas pasta cooker range, designed for restaurants, hotels and large catering operations that need to cook pasta in volume without delays.
