The Axis AX-GPC-1 Gas Pasta Cooker

The Axis AX-GPC-1 is a single-tank gas pasta cooker with 10.5 gallons of water capacity and 45,000 BTU of heating power. It is designed for restaurants that serve pasta as a regular menu item and need a dedicated cooking station that keeps water at a rolling boil throughout service. Six stainless steel mesh baskets with ergonomic handles let you cook six portions simultaneously, each in its own basket for individual timing and easy retrieval.

Deep-Drawn Inner Tank with Starch Skimming Drain

The deep-drawn inner tank holds water efficiently and heats evenly across the cooking area. The starch skimming drain is a feature that matters for pasta quality. As you cook batch after batch, starch builds up in the water and makes your pasta gummy. The skimming drain lets you skim off starchy surface water without draining and refilling the entire tank, so your pasta stays clean-tasting through a full dinner service.

Piezo-Electric Ignition with Thermocouple Safety Shutoff

The piezo-electric ignition lights the burners without a standing pilot, and the safety thermocouple monitors the flame. If the flame goes out for any reason, the thermocouple cuts the gas supply automatically, preventing gas accumulation. Individual controls for gas, water supply, and the 1" port drain give you full command over fill levels, temperature, and draining without reaching behind the unit.

The front drain tray catches any splashes during basket retrieval, keeping your cook line clean. Stainless steel construction throughout resists corrosion from constant water and steam exposure. Overall dimensions are 15.75"W x 37.5"D x 37.5"H.

    The Axis AX-GPC-1 Gas Pasta Cooker

    About Pasta Cookers

    A commercial pasta cooker, also called a commercial pasta boiler, boils water in a deep tank and cooks pasta in perforated baskets, the same way a fryer holds oil. Drop a basket of spaghetti, penne, or noodles into the rolling boil, then lift it out to drain when the timer is up. The format cooks large batches fast and evenly, which is why Italian restaurants, pizza shops, delis, and high-volume kitchens rely on it instead of stockpots on the range. Many units also rethermalize pre-cooked pasta, reheating portions to serving temperature on demand.

    These cookers run on gas or electricity. Gas models heat water quickly and suit high-volume lines, while electric models give precise temperature control and drop onto a countertop without a gas connection. Tanks range from small countertop pots to large floor-standing units, with single or double tanks so you can run different shapes or sauces at once. Higher-end machines add automatic water fill and starch removal to keep the water clean across a long service.

    Every commercial pasta cooker in this collection is built for daily restaurant and foodservice use. Common configurations, what to check before buying, and the questions buyers ask most often follow below.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Gas pasta cooker: A natural gas pasta cooker heats the tank fast for high-volume work, from 45,000 up to 156,000 BTU across floor and single-tank models.
    • Electric pasta cooker: Countertop units with precise temperature control, from 2,400W up to 9 kW, easy to add without a gas line.
    • Countertop pasta cooker: Compact electric models with 4 to 9 liter tanks for a single station or lighter service.
    • Floor model pasta cooker: High-capacity gas units with 11 to 24 gallon tanks and 6 to 12 baskets for busy lines.
    • Single and double tank: Double-tank models cook two shapes, or pasta and sauce, at the same time without cross-mixing.
    • Baskets and automation: Round, rectangular, and mesh baskets, with automatic water fill and starch removal on select models.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Gas or electric: Gas heats faster and suits high-volume lines; electric gives precise control and needs no gas connection.
    • Capacity: Tanks span small countertop pots to 24 gallon floor models. Match tank size and basket count to your covers per hour.
    • BTU or wattage: Gas units run 45,000 to 156,000 BTU; electric units run 2,400W to 9 kW. More power means faster recovery between baskets.
    • Single or double tank: A double tank lets you cook two shapes, or pasta and sauce, without cross-mixing flavors.
    • Baskets: Round, rectangular, and mesh baskets fit different shapes. Count the baskets against how many orders you fire at once.
    • Water management: Automatic water fill and starch removal keep the boil clean and cut manual top-ups during a rush.
    • Footprint and power supply: Countertop electric needs only an outlet, while floor gas models need a gas line and floor space.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How Do Commercial Pasta Cookers Work?

    A commercial pasta cooker heats water to a rolling boil in a deep tank, then cooks pasta in perforated baskets submerged in the water. You drop a basket of pasta into the boil, set the timer, then lift and drain it when it is done. Gas burners or electric elements keep the water hot and recover heat fast between baskets, so the cooker turns out large, even batches. Many units also rethermalize pre-cooked pasta, submerging portions to bring them back to serving temperature.

    Should I Choose a Gas or Electric Pasta Cooker?

    Choose gas for high-volume lines. A gas pasta cooker heats water faster and recovers heat quickly between baskets, which keeps a busy line moving. Choose electric for precise temperature control and easy installation, since an electric pasta cooker needs only an outlet and no gas connection. Countertop electric units suit smaller operations, while floor gas units handle the highest volume.

    What Size Commercial Pasta Cooker Do I Need?

    Match tank size to your volume. Compact countertop models hold 4 to 9 liters for a single station or light service. Floor gas models hold 11 to 24 gallons with 6 to 12 baskets for high-volume kitchens. Count how many orders you fire at peak, then pick a tank and basket count that keeps up without crowding the water.
