How Commercial Pasta Boilers Work
Commercial pasta boilers operate using a simple but effective principle: a generously-sized stainless steel tank maintains a consistent rolling boil for cooking pasta perfectly. Powerful heating elements (either electric or gas) quickly heat water to between 98-100°C and keep it there, while built-in thermostats monitor and maintain exact temperatures. Most models feature multiple perforated baskets that slip into the tank, allowing chefs to cook different pasta varieties simultaneously. When pasta reaches that perfect al dente stage, simply lift the basket to drain—the pasta's ready to plate without any faff or waiting around for colanders!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Pasta Boilers
For optimal results, always pre-heat your pasta boiler before service begins and salt the water generously (about 10g per litre) for proper pasta flavour. Keep water levels topped up during service to maintain consistent cooking times. Clean thoroughly after each shift, using citric acid solutions periodically to prevent limescale buildup. Consider using pasta portion control tools for consistent serving sizes and invest in quality baskets that allow proper water circulation around the pasta.
