Specifications
The Pasta Magic® electric cookers incorporate 
all the features the industry has been looking 
for in a pasta cooker. Electronic, programmable 
controls make it easy to cook perfect pasta

automatically and reliably. The electric cookers 
feature Frymaster’s exclusive smooth-surfaced, 
easy-clean, touch-pad timer/controller and

hood venting in many markets.
The 8 kw of power means fast preheat and 
recovery performance, which saves time and 
allows the operator to turn pasta orders faster.
