Product Overview

The Winco MPN-57 Stainless Steel Pasta Basket is a heavy-duty, kitchen-proven tool engineered to streamline single-portion pasta preparation on fast-paced cooklines. Featuring a deep, cylindrical 5-1/4" diameter by 7" heightdesign, this basket allows high-volume kitchens to drop, boil, and drain individual portions of pasta simultaneously without mixing orders. Built to seamlessly fit into standard commercial pasta cookers and deep stock pots, it provides a highly efficient, self-draining solution for busy Italian eateries, ramen bars, bistros, and catered operations.

Constructed entirely from premium, commercial-grade 18/8 stainless steel, the MPN-57 is built to withstand continuous immersion in boiling water and the caustic chemistry of commercial dishwashers. Its tightly woven normal mesh pattern is specifically optimized to securely contain ultra-thin noodles like capellini (angel hair) or fine ramen without letting individual strands slip through the gaps, ensuring total portion control. Equipped with a sturdy, integrated hanging hook for hands-free draining and a reinforced structural frame, this basket is built to endure the brutal, repetitive handling of everyday kitchen service.

Key Features

• Premium 18/8 Stainless Steel Frame: Forged from high-grade stainless steel to provide maximum structural rigidity and ultimate defense against rust, scaling, and pitting over long-term boiling exposure.

• Capellini-Ready Normal Mesh: The specialized mesh gauge is tightly woven to perfectly retain delicate, fine-gauge noodles like angel hair, capellini, and vermicelli while facilitating instantaneous water flow.

• Universal Pot & Cooker Compatibility: Engineered with an ergonomic, angled handle profile and a built-in rear pot hook that securely clips onto the rims of standard pasta tanks and commercial stock pots.

• Streamlined Single-Portion Control: Enables busy line cooks to execute precise, uniform single portions on demand, reducing food waste and significantly lowering ticket times during peak rush windows.

• Heavy-Duty Reinforced Rim: The upper and lower frame parameters feature a thickened, welded steel wire shield to protect the mesh integrity from continuous contact against pot dividers and counter rails.

• Industrial-Grade Sanitize Safety: Completely safe for continuous high-temperature dishwashing; items that come into contact with food should be thoroughly washed before first use.
