Desco USA crafts high-quality gas and electric pasta cookers for commercial kitchens. Desco USA, a pioneer in the industry, is based in Countryside, Illinois, with its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility located in Italy, the heart of pasta culture. Its commitment to excellence ensures long-lasting performance and reliability, offering rinse tanks and auto-lifters that enhance the pasta-cooking process. The brand maintains its inventory in the Midwest and guarantees prompt delivery and exceptional customer service. Desco has remained the globally recognized inventor of pasta cookers since 1980.

Desco Gas Pasta Cookers

Desco gas pasta cookers provide an energy-efficient solution for large-volume pasta cooking. They are available in traditional single-burner models for cooking fresh or dry pasta and newer double-burner models for faster recovery. Each burner generates an up to 80 BTU power rating. Both models can cook rice, vegetables, potatoes, meats, and seafood. The 12-gal (45.424 L) capacity tanks withstand commercial kitchens' hot and humid environments with a 304-grade stainless steel construction and a thick, safe-to-touch ceramic layer.

Desco Electric Pasta Cookers

Desco electric pasta cookers equip gas-free restaurant kitchens with flexibility, ease of use, speed, and reliability in pasta cooking by boiling water as quickly as gas models. They consume only a third of the energy, perfect for eco-conscious cooks. They create a convective flow of water with 2 burners per 12-gal (45.424 L) tank. Their durable stainless steel construction simplifies maintenance, improves performance, ensures longevity, and optimizes cooking.

Desco Rinse Tanks

Desco rinse tanks elevate pasta preparation, providing an integrated space for washing and cooling pasta after boiling. They help create a seamless pasta line and maintain quality during high-volume production. Their NSF-certified robust construction facilitates maintenance and operation. They complement pasta cookers and continue consistent performance across multiple locations.

Desco Autolifters

Desco autolifters improve the safety and efficiency of pasta cooking by automating the lifting process. These advanced lifters, patented by Desco in 1992, can be installed with any gas or electric pasta cooker to provide hands-free operation for lifting baskets out of boiling water. The precise timing mechanisms remove overcooking concerns, enhance consistency, and minimize manual labor in the kitchen, which is ideal for busy commercial settings.

Desco Pasta Baskets

Desco pasta baskets furnish commercial kitchens with durable and efficient solutions for holding and cooking pasta in bulk. They are stainless steel and have small, 2-mm perforations for cooking even the thinnest noodles. Their heat-resistant black handles are replaceable. They come in multiple sizes, from GN 1/1 to GN 1/6, to fit all Desco USA pasta cookers and others with similar-sized tanks.
