Description

The Empura E-PC11_NAT is a heavy-duty commercial natural-gas pasta cooker designed for Italian restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, catering kitchens, commissaries, institutional foodservice operations, and other high-volume kitchens that prepare pasta, noodles, vegetables, seafood, and similar boiled foods.

Its large 11-gallon water tank provides substantial cooking capacity, while six individual round blanching baskets allow operators to cook several portions or different products at the same time. This helps improve speed, portion control, and workflow during busy service periods.

A powerful 70,000-BTU natural-gas jet burner provides rapid heating and recovery. The thermostat can be adjusted between approximately 122°F and 212°F, allowing the unit to support boiling, simmering, blanching, warming, and controlled-water cooking applications.

The open-tank design features a sloped bottom that directs water and food residue toward the drain. A large full-port drain valve helps simplify emptying and routine cleaning, while the stainless steel front and sides provide durability in demanding commercial environments.
