🔹 Condition

Used – Dependable Condition – Fully Tested & Operational

This Imperial commercial pasta cooker has been professionally inspected and tested to confirm proper operation.

The stainless steel exterior, cooking vessel, front control assembly, access door, drain system, burner components, flue, casters, and cabinet show normal cosmetic signs of previous commercial kitchen use, including light surface scratches, discoloration, minor marks, and typical heat-related wear.

The cooking vessel appears clean and structurally sound and the unit is ready for continued commercial service after proper installation and sanitation.

🔹 Description

The Imperial IPC-14 Commercial Gas Pasta Cooker is a heavy-duty floor model designed for high-volume pasta, noodle, vegetable, dumpling, and rethermalizing applications in professional kitchens.

The IPC-14 provides a 12-gallon stainless steel cooking vessel combined with a powerful 105,000 BTU gas heating system, allowing rapid recovery and consistent water temperatures during busy foodservice periods. (CKitchen)

Unlike a standard fryer, Imperial's pasta-cooker design is specifically engineered around continuous water cooking. Imperial incorporates a water-wash system intended to move starch away from the cooking surface and reduce excessive foaming during pasta production. (Imperial Commercial Cooking Equipment)

A large oval heat-exchanger tube distributes heat through the vessel, while the internal baffle arrangement promotes circulation throughout the water. This design makes the IPC-14 suitable for high-volume pasta stations where multiple batches must be cooked throughout service. (Imperial Commercial Cooking Equipment)
