Designed for restaurants and professional foodservice operations, the NPC11 is an 11 gallon commercial gas pasta cooker that provides dedicated high-capacity boiling in a compact 15.7-inch-wide footprint. Six included pasta baskets allow operators to cook separate portions or products simultaneously, while the 60,000 BTU/hr burner provides strong heat input for initial heat-up, active boiling, and boil recovery after food is loaded.
The 41.6 L (11 gal) cook tank and basket shelf are constructed from Type 316 stainless steel to help support durability in the demanding hot-water environment created by starch, salt, moisture, and frequent cleaning. The open-tank design provides clear access for loading baskets, monitoring water condition, skimming starch, draining, and routine cleaning.
Straightforward manual gas control gives trained operators direct control over flame intensity for heat-up, boil recovery, active cooking, and lighter-load periods. For operations that do not require thermostatic or programmable controls, this simple commercial design provides dedicated pasta-cooking capacity without the added complexity of more automated systems. A standing pilot provides burner ignition, while the manual front water-fill control allows operators to replenish water as needed throughout service.
Overflow protection helps manage excess water when the cooker is connected to a properly installed drain system. A removable drain strainer and 1½-inch drain support routine water changes and end-of-day cleaning. The cooker can also be used for noodles, dumplings, vegetables, seafood, and similar foods prepared in boiling potable water.
The NPC11 ships configured for Natural Gas and includes components for field conversion to Liquid Propane by qualified personnel. It includes six pasta baskets, a gas regulator, drain strainer, four adjustable legs, and the gas conversion kit.
