MBM MAGISTRA PLUS 900 Electric Pasta Cooker – 40 Litre Capacity

An electric pasta cooker brings boiling water to volume inside a sealed tank, then circulates it at a steady temperature so strands cook evenly without sticking. The heating elements sit below the water line, transferring energy directly into the liquid rather than through a hob or pan. Because the water is held at a constant temperature and never cools between batches, the next portion starts cooking the moment it enters the tank, cutting waiting time and keeping throughput high during service.

The operator fills the tank to the marked level, sets the four-position power switch to the desired intensity, and starts the cycle. An electric valve opens to admit fresh water; once the tank reaches the set temperature, the operating thermostat holds it there while the safety thermostat monitors for overheating. Pasta is lowered in the optional stainless-steel baskets, which have thermal handles to prevent burns. When the strands are al dente, the baskets lift out and drain over the tank, returning the water to the system for the next batch.

The tank itself is moulded from AISI 316 anti-corrosion stainless steel, with rounded internal corners that prevent food residue from collecting. A 1 mm worktop of AISI 18/10 stainless steel surrounds the tank, giving a seamless surface that aligns with adjacent equipment. The heating elements are armoured in stainless steel to resist corrosion from constant immersion, and the entire assembly is mounted on a frame sized to fit standard worktop runs.

A 13.3 kW power rating draws a substantial current, requiring a dedicated 400 V three-phase circuit. The 40-litre volume allows large batches of long strands without crowding, while the 57 kg weight keeps the unit stable on the worktop but still light enough for two people to reposition. The footprint of 400 mm depth by 900 mm width fits between other counter-top appliances, leaving aisle space clear in a busy kitchen.

Cleaning follows the rounded corners and smooth welds: the tank is drained, scrubbed with a non-abrasive pad, rinsed and left to dry. The worktop is wiped down after each service, and the heating elements are inspected periodically for scale build-up. Optional pasta baskets are dishwasher-safe and stack for storage.
