Overview

Benchstar NPD-2 Automatic Double Pan Fried Dumplings/Buns Machine

The Benchstar NPD-2 is a compact, lightweight automatic double pan machine purpose-built for high-volume production of pan-fried dumplings, steamed buns, potstickers, gyoza, mandu, pierogi, scones, and more. Twin independently controlled cooking plates, each accommodating 28 to 33 pieces per batch, allow operators to run simultaneous cycles and maintain a constant flow of product during peak service periods.

Designed with busy commercial kitchens in mind, the NPD-2 combines a corrosion-resistant hard chrome grill plate for efficient, even heat transfer with a fully programmable digital control panel that stores up to four cooking programs per side. An integrated water feeding system creates the steam necessary for authentic pan-fried and steamed results, while a built-in buzzer and indicator light alert staff when each cycle is complete, keeping service smooth and consistent.

Key Benefits

• Doubles throughput by running two independent cooking plates simultaneously, ideal for high-demand service periods.
• Rapid preheat from 30°C to 210°C in just 11 minutes reduces wait time at the start of service.
• Cooks fresh dumplings in approximately 3 minutes 30 seconds and frozen dumplings in around 5 minutes 30 seconds, enabling fast turnaround.
• Up to four stored programs per cooking side allow staff to switch between menu items quickly and without guesswork.
• Integrated water feeding system (adjustable timer and up to 950 ml capacity) produces steam for authentic texture without manual intervention.
• Audible buzzer and visual indicator alert operators when cooking is finished, reducing the risk of over-cooking during a busy service.
• Hard chrome grill surface resists corrosion and transfers heat efficiently for consistent browning and crisping across every batch.
• Top cover stops and holds at any position, making it easy to check product, add water, or clean between cycles.
• Compact footprint and relatively light build allow the unit to sit on a bench without consuming excessive workspace in tight kitchen environments.
