The Pasta Magic gas cookers feature high-efficiency infrared burners and electronic ignition. The sealed combustion system has industry-leading efficiency and ensures a prompt ignition, transition to full burn, and sustained combustion. The proven heat transfer system generates 80,000 Btu/hr. (20,151 kcal/hr.). The burners quickly get the water up to the desired temperature and hold it there. Water heat-ups go from 60° F (15.5° C) to boiling in 24 minutes, 50% faster than previous models so you can meet high production demands with ease while also saving energy. The Pasta Magic gas cookers can transform 30 lbs. of dry pasta into 136 perfectly prepared 8 oz. servings/hr. That’s 5 lbs. of dry pasta per 8-10 minute cook.
