Electric Noodle Cookers

An electric noodle cooker is a bench or floor unit that holds boiling water in a well and cooks noodles or pasta in baskets lowered into it. Electric models suit sites without a gas connection.

An electric noodle cooker needs only a power supply, so it can go into a tenancy or food court site with no gas reticulation, and it avoids the gas connection work a gas model requires. Gas models suit sites with a supply already in place.

Seven electric noodle and pasta cookers are listed at Hospitality Connect, from brands including Waldorf and Sirman. Model codes in the range include PC8140E, PC8140E7 and PCL8140E.

Match the number of baskets to peak-service covers rather than daily total, since noodle orders arrive in bursts. Check the well capacity and basket count on each listing, and allow for recovery time between batches.

A noodle cooker holds water at temperature in a purpose-built well with baskets, so portions go in and out without draining the vessel. A pot on a burner has no basket system and must be poured off to drain.
