Italgi CP900 Automatic Pasta Cooker

Eliminate Overcooking Forever

In a busy restaurant kitchen, timing is everything — and pasta is the most unforgiving dish on your menu. Thirty seconds too long in boiling water and your spaghetti goes from al dente perfection to a mushy disappointment that no sauce can rescue. The Italgi CP900 Automatic Pasta Cooker solves this problem permanently with its intelligent auto-lift system that raises each basket precisely when the programmed cooking time expires. No more relying on distracted line cooks to pull pasta at the right moment. No more inconsistent plates going to the pass. Every single portion comes out exactly the way your head chef intended, whether it is table one at 6:00 PM or table forty at 9:45 PM during a sold-out Saturday service.

Four Independent Baskets, Infinite Flexibility

The CP900 features four independently programmable baskets, each with its own digital timer and auto-lift mechanism. This means you can cook four different pasta shapes simultaneously — spaghetti in basket one at 7 minutes, penne in basket two at 11 minutes, fresh ravioli in basket three at 4 minutes, and tortellini in basket four at 5 minutes — and every single portion will be lifted from the water at precisely the right moment. During peak service, this translates to extraordinary throughput: up to 90 kilograms of perfectly cooked pasta per hour flowing from a machine that occupies just 400 millimeters of counter width. For restaurants, hotels, quick-service operations, and dedicated pasta bars, this level of production from such a compact footprint is transformative.

AISI 316 Marine-Grade Stainless Steel: Built for the Harshest Conditions

Pasta cooking water is aggressively corrosive. The combination of salt, starch, and sustained high temperatures will pit, rust, and eventually destroy ordinary stainless steel within months. That is why Italgi engineers the CP900's cooking tank and heating elements from AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel — the same alloy used in ocean-going vessels and chemical processing plants. Where standard AISI 304 steel begins to corrode in salted boiling water, AISI 316 shrugs it off year after year. The body of the machine uses AISI 304 stainless steel, which is more than adequate for external surfaces not exposed to salt water. This dual-material approach delivers maximum durability where it matters most while keeping the overall cost reasonable.

Intelligent Water Management

The CP900 continuously monitors and manages both the temperature and level of cooking water automatically. The automatic temperature control maintains a precise, consistent boil that recovers rapidly after loading cold pasta — critical for maintaining cook times during high-volume service. The automatic water level management system replenishes evaporated and displaced water without operator intervention, ensuring the baskets always have the correct depth for even cooking. With a water circulation rate of 20 liters per hour, the system keeps cooking water fresh and prevents excessive starch buildup that can affect pasta texture and flavor.

Reduce Labor Costs and Training Time

Traditional pasta cooking requires a skilled, attentive cook dedicated to the pasta station full-time during service. They must remember cook times for every shape, monitor multiple portions simultaneously, and pull each basket at precisely the right second. With the CP900, you program the times once and the machine handles execution flawlessly every single service. A new hire can operate the CP900 on their first day — load the pasta, press the timer, and the machine does the rest. This dramatically reduces your training investment and allows you to redeploy experienced cooks to stations where their skills add more value. Over time, the labor savings alone can justify the equipment investment many times over.

Hygienic Design for Easy Maintenance

Italgi designs the CP900 with a completely groove-free construction — no crevices, seams, or hard-to-reach corners where starch, debris, or bacteria can accumulate. Every surface is smooth, accessible, and designed to be wiped clean in minutes at the end of service. The baskets lift out completely for deep cleaning, and the tank drains fully for sanitization. This thoughtful hygienic design not only makes daily cleanup faster but ensures your equipment meets the most stringent health inspection standards without extraordinary effort from your cleaning staff.

Also Available: The CP700 Three-Basket Model

For kitchens with slightly lower volume requirements or tighter space constraints, Italgi offers the CP700 — identical in technology and build quality to the CP900, but configured with three baskets instead of four. At 400 x 700 x 850 mm and 54 kg, it occupies 200 mm less depth while delivering the same automatic precision, the same AISI 316 tank, and the same groove-free construction. With 6 kW power draw, it is also suitable for operations with more limited electrical infrastructure. Both models share the same basket dimensions (140 x 190 x 200 mm) and 400g per basket capacity, making them interchangeable in terms of per-portion output.

Made in Italy by Italgi — Since 1982

Every CP900 is manufactured at Italgi's facility in Carasco, in the province of Genova, Italy. For over four decades, Italgi has focused exclusively on professional pasta equipment, building an unmatched depth of engineering expertise in this specialized category. When you invest in an Italgi machine, you are buying from a company whose entire reputation depends on the performance and longevity of pasta equipment — not a generalist manufacturer who treats pasta as an afterthought. Gianluca Specialty Imports brings this Italian excellence directly to the North American market with full technical support, installation guidance, and ongoing service.
