Overview

Waldorf PCLB8140E Bold 450mm Electric Pasta Cooker – Low Back, Single Pan

The Waldorf PCLB8140E is a high-performance 450mm single-pan electric pasta cooker from the Bold range, designed for the demands of busy commercial kitchens, pasta bars and high-volume food service operations. Built in New Zealand to exacting standards, it features a 40-litre 316 grade stainless steel open pan heated by a heavy-duty 3-coil Incoloy 825 element rated at 10.5kW, delivering rapid heat recovery and consistent boiling performance throughout service.

The unit ships with six stainless steel pasta baskets complete with moulded handle grips and an incorporated basket drain stand, enabling efficient portioned cooking and fast turnaround between batches. An integrated water fill and starch-skimming faucet with fine adjustment simplifies pan maintenance during service, while a safety cut-out thermostat protects against empty-pan and boil-out conditions. The fully modular construction, adjustable feet, rear rollers and low-back splashback configuration make this cooker straightforward to install, service and clean in a commercial line-up.
