The needs of each restaurateur may vary depending on the repeated cooking cycles, the quantities used per cooking session, the power systems available in the kitchen rooms and the spaces themselves.
This means that choosing a professional pasta cooker is not a trivial matter.
Lotus spa, which has been operating in the design and production of professional kitchens for years, explains in today's article what are the important elements in choosing your professional pasta cooker and how its range meets these needs.
The steel of professional pasta cookers: CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel
Lotus professional pasta cookers are made with AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel.
The European Regulation (EC) n. 1935/2004 establishes that AISI 304 stainless steel is the most suitable alloy for direct contact with food.
This aspect protects the complete hygienic safety for the end user who will consume the dishes prepared by the restaurateur.
Compliance with this rule in the choice of one's own professional tool is therefore one of the unquestionable aspects.
AISI 316 steel is used by Lotus to improve the hygiene of cooking pasta. This special steel offers particular resistance to salt corrosion, a basic element in this process.

Safety guarantee when cooking pasta
The working safety of each Lotus professional pasta cooker is guaranteed by the passive safety system against possible processing without water.
In the event of a lack of water in the cooking tank, an acoustic sensor automatically cuts off the electricity or gas supply.
Ideal professional pasta cooker: electric or gas?
The primary distinction made between professional pasta cooking tools is the one relating to power supply: electric or gas pasta cookers?
The most appropriate answer to the question depends on the context of the kitchen, which includes the evaluation of the space, the available power and the available capacity.
To better evaluate the key aspects, we highlight the characteristics that distinguish gas pasta cookers from electric ones.
Lotus electric pasta cooker

The resistance is equipped with a safety thermostat and a 4-position switch.
The electric pasta cookers of the Lotus range are equipped with perforated stainless-steel baskets. This particular aspect of their construction guarantees simultaneous multi-firings with excellent results.
