LOTUS Gas Pasta Cooker AUTOMATIC 25 L with Auto-Fill

A gas pasta cooker heats water in a sealed vat by burning gas beneath it. The heat rises through the base, creating convection currents that keep the water at a steady boil without stirring. This method gives even cooking and prevents pasta from sticking, while the gas flame responds instantly to adjustments, letting the chef control the intensity without waiting for an element to cool or heat. The vat is filled automatically to a set level, so the operator does not need to watch a tap or measure volumes, and the water stays at the same depth for every batch, which keeps cooking times consistent.

To use the cooker, the operator connects the gas supply, sets the adjustable legs for a level stance, and opens the water inlet. The automatic fill system senses the water level and shuts off when the vat reaches capacity. The pilot light is lit electrically, and the main burner is ignited from the control panel. The chef selects the desired flame intensity with the gas knob, then lowers the perforated pasta baskets into the boiling water. Once the pasta is cooked, the baskets are lifted out, and the excess water drains back into the vat. When service is finished, the vat can be emptied through the floor drain without tilting or lifting, and the overflow system prevents spills if the water level rises too high during filling.

The construction is entirely stainless steel, with the cooking vat made from AISI 316 grade and the outer body from 18/10 AISI 304. The worktop is 2 mm thick with rounded edges, and the control handles are water-resistant to IPX5 standard. Chrome-plated details and a satin finish reduce glare under kitchen lighting, and the rear protective panel shields the controls from splashes. The unit includes a conversion kit for either natural gas or LPG, and the adjustable legs allow stable placement on uneven floors.

The 9.5 kW gas output provides enough heat to bring 25 litres of water to a rolling boil quickly, which is the load the kitchen's gas supply must support. The 230 V electrical connection powers the automatic ignition and the water level sensor, drawing only 0.035 kW, so it does not require a dedicated circuit. The 400 mm width fits into a standard worktop run, while the 705 mm depth leaves space for the operator to stand and handle the baskets without crowding. The 900 mm height places the controls at a comfortable reach, and the 61 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people, not carried by hand.

Cleaning is simplified by the removable front control panel, which gives access to all internal parts. The rounded edges and smooth surfaces prevent food debris from catching, and the floor drain allows the vat to be flushed without lifting. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and can be sanitised with standard kitchen chemicals, while the water-resistant controls prevent damage from splashes during washing down.

The cooker is configured for multiple basket combinations: one full-size basket, two half-size, four quarter-size, six sixth-size, one half plus three sixths, or one full plus one half. Perforated baskets with heat-insulated handles are available separately in the sizes that match these divisions.
