Countertop pasta cookers hold a heated basin of water with baskets, so pasta, gnocchi and noodles cook to order without tying up a stockpot on the range. This range covers 39 benchtop pasta cookers from Baron, Lotus, Giorik, Hatco and Fagor.
Choose a benchtop pasta cooker on tank size, basket count and fuel. Tank capacity in litres decides how many portions you run before the water loses temperature. Basket count sets how many orders you keep separate, which matters when gluten-free pasta cannot share water with wheat pasta. Electric models suit venues without gas, while gas models recover heat faster under continuous load. Check basin depth and basket size, since a short basket limits long pasta shapes.
