Six round blanching baskets come with the unit, so six different orders can cook in the same water at the same time and come up exactly when each one is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e70,000 BTU Jet Burner\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA jet burner rated at 70,000 BTU sits under the pot and drives water back to a boil quickly after each basket drop. That recovery speed is what separates a pasta cooker from a stockpot on a range: when a rush hits and baskets go in one after another, the water keeps rolling instead of slumping to a simmer and turning pasta gummy. A standby stainless steel pilot keeps ignition instant, and a millivolt control valve runs the burner without needing an electrical connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThermostatic Control With Fast Response\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA prompt-response thermostat holds the water where you set it across a 200°F to 400°F range, easing back as the pot recovers so you are not riding the knob between orders. The open pot design includes a cold zone below the heat, where flour and starch settle away from the rolling water instead of scorching against the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater and Starch Management\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarchy water is the daily headache of pasta service, and this cooker drains it two ways. A starch skimming drain pulls off the foamy surface water during service, and a 1-1\/4 inch full port drain valve empties the whole pot fast at close. Fresh water feeds in through a 1\/2 inch inlet, so refilling does not mean carrying pots from the tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMobility and Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour casters, two of them locking, let one person roll the cooker out for cleaning behind the line and lock it back in place. Legs are available as an option if your health department or layout calls for a fixed installation. The stainless steel front and sides clean up quickly, a stainless hanger plate on the back keeps baskets within reach, and the gas connection is a 3\/4 inch NPT fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cookline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52517488099613,"sku":"PC-1-NG","price":1990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/78793_pc-1-ng_210b6c9f-14a0-407f-a571-83ed1fb4464c.jpg?v=1785100708","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/cookline-pc-1-ng-12-gallon-natural-gas-pasta-cooker-with-six-blanching-baskets-70-000-btu","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
