Waldorf PCLB8140E7 Bold 450mm Electric Pasta Cooker - Low Back

The Waldorf PCLB8140E7 Bold is a 450mm single pan electric pasta cooker designed for high-output commercial kitchens, pasta bars and busy food service operations. Built in New Zealand to Waldorf's robust Bold range standards, it features a 40-litre open pan fabricated from 316 grade stainless steel with a heavy-duty 3-coil Incoloy 825 heating element rated at 7.0kW on single phase power, delivering rapid heat recovery to keep service moving without interruption.

The unit ships with six stainless steel pasta baskets with moulded handle grips and an incorporated basket drain stand, making portion control and rapid turnaround straightforward during peak service. An integrated water fill and starch-skimming faucet with fine adjustment simplifies pan maintenance, while a safety cut-out thermostat protects the element against empty-pan or boil-out conditions. The fully modular design and easy-service construction make the PCLB8140E7 a practical long-term investment for any high-volume kitchen.
