Desco CPG-1 Pasta Cooker

Desco CPG-1 pasta cookers are perfect for cooking fresh or dry pasta, or for rethermalizing up to 700 servings per hour. These cookers can also be used to cook rice, vegetables, potatoes, and seafood. Solid pans can be inserted into a cooking tank to hold sauces as well.

Each cooking tank is stamped from one piece of stainless steel. This seamless construction makes the tanks highly resistant to the corrosive effects of salted water. A blanket of ceramic fiber insulation wraps each tank, virtually eliminating hot surfaces while increasing efficiency and performance.

A high efficiency burner heats each cooking tank. The burner design concentrates a greater amount of heat at the rear of the tank creating a convective flow of water that eliminates the need for manual tossing or stirring of pasta while simultaneously shortening cooking times. This flow also moves undesirable starches to the skim drain located at the front of each tank keeping the cooking water starch-free. A straight line drain connection prevents clogs and is easy to clean.

A recent redesign of these models has also included a high temperature safety shut off mechanism that senses if the tank is overheating (most likely due to lack of water in the tank) and will cut power to the machine. This system will keep the tank from suffering severe damage if the burner is unintentionally left on after the cooking tank has been drained of water. This redesign has also led to both a manual and spark igniter being designed into the pasta cooker.
