Pasta Cookers
27 products
Pasta cookers keep a deep tank of water at a rolling boil, with baskets for cooking or reheating individual portions of pasta, noodles and dumplings to order. Italian restaurants, noodle shops, cafeterias and banquet kitchens use them to turn out many portions at once with consistent timing. Gas and electric models are made as countertop or floor units, some with automatic basket lifts and continuous water refill.

About commercial pasta cookers
Before you buy
- Plan the water supply and the drain before ordering, because floor models typically fill from a water line and empty through a drain valve.
- Compare tank capacity and the number and size of baskets against how many portions you cook at once at peak.
- Check how the cooker clears starch, for example through a skimming overflow, since starch builds up in the water as service goes on.
- Look for automatic basket lifts with timers if the line is busy, so each portion comes out on time even when staff are elsewhere.
- Confirm the gas type or electrical service, and check whether the cooker must sit under the hood in your jurisdiction.
Common questions
Why use a pasta cooker instead of a stock pot on the range?
- A pasta cooker holds water at a steady boil and recovers quickly after baskets go in, so each batch cooks in the same time. Individual baskets let staff cook different portions and timings at once, and an overflow skims starch as it builds up. It also frees a range burner for other work.
Can a pasta cooker be used for other foods?
- Yes. Kitchens use them to blanch vegetables, cook rice noodles, dumplings and gnocchi, and reheat pre-cooked pasta to order. Anything cooked in portions in boiling or near-boiling water suits it, provided it fits the baskets and does not cloud the water faster than the overflow can clear it.
Are automatic basket lifts worth having on a pasta cooker?
- They lift each basket out of the water when its timer ends, so pasta is not overcooked while staff are plating or working another station. On a busy line that means more consistent texture and fewer remade portions. They add controls and parts, so weigh them against how busy the station really is.
How much do commercial pasta cookers cost?
- List prices on Norpex range from $142.46 to $15,459.99 CAD, with a median of $6,512.89 across 27 priced models; prices are list prices before tax and shipping.
What power options do commercial pasta cookers come in?
- Norpex lists commercial pasta cookers by power source, with the number of models of each: electric (10), natural gas (9) and gas (4). Confirm the gas type, or the voltage and phase, available at the installation site before ordering.

- Norpex lists 27 commercial pasta cookers. The brands with the most models listed are Omcan with 10, Trento with 9 and Axis with 4.
Do you ship commercial pasta cookers across Canada?
- Norpex ships to delivery addresses across Canada. Equipment ships from distributor warehouses, so dispatch timing depends on the supplier and the destination. For items that can be bought online, shipping is calculated at checkout from live carrier rates for the delivery address and confirmed before payment. There is no automatic free-shipping or flat-rate offer.
