The Omcan 48761 Commercial Rice Cooker
The Omcan CE-CN-0499-A is a natural gas rice cooker that produces 110 cups of cooked rice (55 cups raw capacity) per batch, built for high-volume Asian restaurants, catering kitchens, and institutional food service where rice is a staple and electric cookers cannot keep up with demand. Running on natural gas at 24,400 BTU, the burner heats the large-capacity pot faster and more efficiently than an equivalent electric unit, which matters when you are cooking multiple batches back to back during a busy service.
24,400 BTU Gas Burner with Magnetic Thermostat
The gas burner delivers 24,400 BTU of direct heat to the pot bottom, which brings 55 cups of raw rice and water up to a full boil faster than electric heating elements of comparable size. A magnetic thermostat controls the cooking cycle automatically. When the water is absorbed and the pot temperature rises past the set point, the thermostat trips and switches the unit from cook to warm mode. This hands-off operation means a cook can start a batch and walk away to handle other prep without worrying about scorched rice or boil-overs.
Die Cast Aluminum Inner Pot
The die cast aluminum inner pot distributes heat more evenly than stamped steel or thin aluminum, which reduces hot spots that cause rice to stick and burn on the bottom. Even cooking across the entire pot means you get consistent texture from the center to the edges, which is especially important at this volume where uneven results would waste a significant amount of product. The pot lifts out of the housing for cleaning and serving. The stainless steel exterior housing wipes down easily and holds up in a commercial kitchen environment. At 17.3 by 17.3 by 16.1 inches and 22 pounds, the cooker fits on a prep table or low shelf and connects to a standard natural gas line with a 3/4" NPT fitting.
