POWER BURST
18” and 20” Pasta Cookers are equipped with the “Power Burst System”. The Power Burst toggle switch is located on the front of the unit. Hard Boil
mode allows for high BTU input rate (160,000 BTU/H) for quick heating of tap water and heavy batch cooking. Soft Boil/Simmer mode sets the BTU
input rate at 80,000 BTU/H for accurate control of re-thermalizing and most cooking operations.
BATCH COOKING

Place the batch cooking basket (optional) on the basket hanger. If the unit is equipped with an optional timer control, set the time for batch
cooking and push the timer to activate (approximately 8-10 minutes.)
2.
With basket in the boiling water, add 6 pounds of dry pasta into basket. 6 pounds of dry pasta becomes approximately 15 pounds of cooked
pasta or about (24) 10oz servings.
3.
Stir gently as needed to keep pasta separated.
4.
When cooking is complete, remove the basket from the water. Immediately rinse with cold water to remove excess starch and stop the
cooking process.
