Overview

Waldorf PCL8140G 800 Series 450mm Gas Pasta Cooker

The Waldorf PCL8140G is a 450mm single pan gas pasta cooker from the 800 Series, purpose-built for high-volume commercial kitchens. At the heart of the unit is a patented infrared burner system rated at 47MJ/hr, delivering rapid, consistent heat to a 40-litre open pan constructed from easy-clean 316 grade stainless steel. The low-back configuration suits tight kitchen layouts while maintaining the full performance expected of the Waldorf 800 Series.

Designed for practical, efficient pasta service, the PCL8140G comes supplied with four stainless steel pasta baskets and an incorporated basket drain stand for smooth portion management during service. An integrated water fill and starch-skimming faucet, along with a fine-adjustment faucet for pan filling, reduce manual handling and support kitchen hygiene. Adjustable feet and rear rollers make positioning and levelling straightforward, while a safety cut-out thermostat protects the unit during water boil-out or an empty pan event.
