MBM MINIMA 600 Gas Pasta Cooker 25 Litre

A gas pasta cooker boils water rapidly by burning gas beneath a stainless steel tank. The flame heats the water directly, transferring energy without the delay of an electric element. A high-performance burner spreads heat evenly across the base, preventing hot spots that could scorch food or slow cooking. The water circulates naturally as it warms, keeping the temperature uniform so every portion of pasta cooks at the same rate.

To use the MINIMA 600, fill the 25 litre tank with water through the delivery tap. Light the pilot burner with the piezoelectric device, then open the gas supply to ignite the main burner. Lower the chromium-plated steel basket into the boiling water and set the thermocouple to maintain the required temperature. When the pasta is ready, lift the basket using the insulated hand grip and drain it over the sink. The drain tap empties the tank quickly for cleaning or water changes.

The tank is made of AISI 304 stainless steel with rounded corners for hygiene and durability. A safety device shuts off the gas automatically if the flame extinguishes, and a thermocouple monitors the temperature to prevent overheating. The 11 kW burner draws a steady gas load, suitable for a commercial kitchen supply. The unit measures 600 mm wide, 600 mm deep and 270 mm high, fitting a standard worktop space. At 35 kg, it can be moved by two people but is designed to stay in place during service.

The controls include a gas valve to regulate the flame, a piezoelectric igniter for the pilot burner, and a thermocouple dial to set the cooking temperature. The delivery and drain taps allow water to be added or removed without lifting the unit. Cleaning involves scrubbing the stainless steel tank, rinsing the basket, and wiping the exterior surfaces. The rounded corners prevent food debris from collecting, and the drain tap removes water without tilting the cooker.

The MINIMA 600 is part of a range that includes an electric model with Incoloy heating elements and a safety thermostat. This gas version is listed in the catalogue under professional gas cooking equipment.
