Il cuocipasta Desco l’alleato per una cottura perfetta

Discover the characteristics of the professional pasta cooker Desco

Italy is a republic founded on pasta. Long, short or stuffed, it is an ever-present dish on the menus of all restaurants. In professional kitchens, where pasta is prepared in large quantities, it is essential to use equipment that allows not only uniform cooking of this food but also to optimise time and better organise work. The pasta cooker is the tool that allows all this to be done with great practicality.

The Professional Pasta Cooker’s Features

The pasta cooker is a professional appliance designed specifically for cooking large volumes of pasta in a short time. It is essential in the kitchens of restaurants, hotels and gastronomies as it allows pasta preparation times to be shortened by bringing the water to the boil in less time.
The professional pasta cooker is generally equipped with a large stainless steel bowl and a controlled heating system. The water is quickly brought and held to the desired temperature during cooking so that boiling is uninterrupted. This allows cooking to be done faster than using a saucepan. Large quantities of pasta can be cooked non-stop. Thanks to the accurate control of temperature and timing, the pasta cooker ensures even and constant cooking, avoiding the risk of overcooked or too hard pasta.

Cooking pasta with the pasta cooker

The pasta cooker also allows different types of pasta to be handled, from long to short or filled shapes. It allows a wide range of dishes to be prepared in a short time. If a pasta cooker model with several baskets is used, it is possible to prepare different orders at the same time, even cooking small quantities of one type of pasta in one basket and another type in the second. Cooking times are set in the pasta cooker and the automatic basket lifter system ensures that the pasta is drained al dente at the right time. In this way, the pasta retains its perfect consistency when eaten, an essential element of a quality dish.

Long pasta, such as spaghetti, linguine and tagliatelle, requires adequate cooking to prevent it from sticking or becoming too soft. The professional pasta cooker ensures even cooking, keeping the pasta al dente and ready for seasoning.

Short pasta, such as penne, fusilli and farfalle, needs to be cooked in a way that allows the pasta to maintain its ideal shape and consistency, avoiding the risk of becoming too soft or overcooked.

Stuffed pasta, such as tortellini, ravioli and agnolotti, requires special care during cooking to prevent it from breaking or falling apart. The professional pasta cooker, with its controlled temperature and gentle handling, allows even cooking and keeps the fillings intact.
