Pasta Magic Electric Cookers

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
exactly as desired every time and do it all
automatically and reliably. The electric cookers
feature Frymaster’s exclusive smooth-surfaced,
easy-clean, touch-pad timer/controller and
because it’s electric it can be installed without
hood venting in many markets.

The units are available in 8 kw or 17 kw of
power, meaning faster preheat and recovery
performance, which saves time and allows the
operator to turn pasta orders faster.

To prevent boil-overs, the cookpot has the
industry’s largest overflow drain.This drain
carries away any excess water that might be
added to the cookpot and starch that might
accumulate with repeated cooks. This large
drain also reduces the time needed to drain the

system and virtually eliminates the chance of
clogs, which is common in pasta cookers with
smaller drain openings.

An auto-fill/starch skimmer keeps the water
level at the correct height and removes excess
starch residue from the water’s surface. There is
no need for refills, so the water is ready to cook,
saving energy and time.

Frymaster’s automatic timer and basket lift
features ensure precise cook times without
constant monitoring.
