MBM Pasta Cooker Basket A770049

A pasta cooker basket holds dry pasta below the waterline in a commercial pasta cooker. The cooker heats water to boiling, and the basket keeps the pasta submerged so every strand cooks evenly without sticking to the bottom or to itself. When the pasta reaches the desired texture, the operator lifts the basket out of the water, draining the pasta in one motion while stopping the cooking process.

To use the basket, the operator fills the pasta cooker with water, sets the thermostat to boiling and waits for the water to reach temperature. Dry pasta is placed in the basket, which is then lowered into the boiling water. The operator monitors the cooking time and lifts the basket when the pasta is ready. The basket drains the water through its perforated sides, leaving the pasta in the basket for plating or further preparation.

The basket is constructed from stainless steel, which withstands repeated boiling and draining without warping or corroding. Its dimensions of 145 mm depth, 290 mm width and 215 mm height provide a footprint that fits standard pasta cookers while allowing enough volume for a full batch of pasta. The weight of the basket is light enough for manual lifting when filled, yet sturdy enough to resist bending under the load of wet pasta.

This basket is a spare part designed to fit MBM pasta cookers.
