Electrolux Professional Pasta Cooker 589923 – thermaline 90, Freestanding electric pastacooker, 1/1GN, 1 side, H=250

Twenty-one litres maximum water volume in a single 1/1 GN well sets the scale of the thermaline 90 pasta cooker 589923. At 7.5 kW on a 440 V/3 ph/60 Hz supply, it is sized for continuous pasta and noodle work in a compact footprint rather than bulk kettle production.

On a ship, the 500 x 900 mm external dimensions make this unit straightforward to drop into a 900 mm-deep thermaline 90 line without disturbing the rest of the cooking block. The 250 mm height suits top-only configurations where the base is already defined as storage or oven space. Because it is factory-built for 440 V/3 ph/60 Hz, there is no need to compromise with a shore-pattern 400 V appliance on a marine switchboard. The 9.9 A current draw is modest in galley terms, so allocating this load across a crowded distribution panel is usually manageable.

The usable well is 309 mm wide, 512 mm deep and 205 mm high, giving enough length for full 1/1 GN baskets. With a 5 litre minimum and 21 litre maximum capacity, the water volume can be matched to the service pattern: run nearer the minimum for small crews to save heat-up and recovery time, or closer to the maximum to stabilise temperature when baskets are loaded in quick succession. The thermostat band from 40 °C to 90 °C covers blanching, reheating and holding without pushing water into an uncontrolled boil. That control range also matters where the machine is used for dumplings or noodles that demand lower setpoints.

Total connected load is 7.5 kW, which is enough to bring the 21 litre maximum fill up to working temperature and recover between batches without oversizing the ship’s electrical plant. With 9.9 Amps quoted at 440 V/3 ph/60 Hz, cable sizing and breaker selection are straightforward. The unit is supplied with a 3/4" incoming cold or hot water line connection and a 1" drain line, so it can tie into existing galley water and waste runs without special adaptors, provided those line sizes are respected.

IPX6 ingress protection allows the top and surrounding work surface to be washed down using pressure spray guns, which are standard in USPH-driven marine galleys. The one-side operated configuration means all controls and service access sit on a single front, helping when the cooker is installed against a bulkhead or within a line where back access is limited by cleaning clearances.

• Stainless steel internal frame
• Rounded internal corners for cleaning
• Overheat cut-out
• Standby mode for reduced idle consumption
• Metal knobs with hygienic soft-touch grips

This top is the right choice where a galley needs a dedicated pasta station integrated into a thermaline 90 suite and where a single 1/1 GN well at 21 litres maximum is enough to cover peak service. It is the wrong choice for operations that need multiple pasta types or very high volume at once; those galleys should consider larger bodies in the same line with more wells or greater capacity.
