Rice Cookers – Professional Rice Cookers for Gastronomy
Rice cookers, also known as rice steamers, are specialized catering appliances designed for the precise thermal processing of rice and other grains. They are a fundamental piece of equipment not only for Asian restaurants or sushi bars but for any establishment where consistency, quality, and workflow efficiency count. At Wammashop.pl, we offer professional cooking appliances and rice warmers from the Bartscher brand, synonymous with German reliability and functionality.
Why is a Professional Rice Cooker Essential in a Modern Kitchen?
The traditional method of cooking rice "on the stove" is a process requiring constant supervision, fraught with the risk of burning or achieving the wrong texture. A professional rice cooker eliminates human error by automating the process and guaranteeing constant temperature control. The result is perfectly fluffy or sticky rice (depending on the variety) that is never overcooked or burnt. Implementing such a device in a restaurant kitchen tangibly relieves the staff, allowing chefs to focus on service rather than watching a pot. It is an investment that pays off through time savings and reduced product waste.
Types of Rice Cooking Appliances – Overview of the Wammashop.pl Offer
In our store, you will find a wide range of solutions – from compact models for small gastronomy to high-performance units for catering and canteens. Here are the most popular models from our offer:
Rice Cooker 1.8L SD by Bartscher
The 1.8L SD Rice Cooker is a compact piece of equipment that works great as a supplementary tool or the main device in smaller food outlets. It allows not only for cooking rice but also for steaming dishes, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen. It is intuitive to use and easy to clean.
Rice Cooker 8L by Bartscher
The 8-liter model (Bartscher A150513) is a "workhorse" for medium-sized restaurants. It allows for the preparation of a large amount of product at once, which is crucial during peak hours. The inner bowl is coated with a high-quality non-stick coating, preventing grain adhesion and drastically reducing cleaning time. It is the optimal choice for places with high guest turnover.
Rice Cooker 12L by Bartscher
The 12L Rice Cooker is the most efficient unit in this class, dedicated to large canteens, catering companies, and hotels. It ensures mass production of perfectly cooked rice while maintaining full control over the process. This model guarantees that even with a full load, every portion of rice will have the identical, desired consistency.
Rice Warmer 12L by Bartscher
The 12L Rice Warmer (Bartscher A150512) is a complementary device for rice cookers. Its task is not to cook, but to maintain the temperature of the product prepared earlier. It is indispensable in a buffet system and in places where rice must be available "on demand" for many hours, retaining its moisture, taste, and serving temperature.
Functionality and Technical Parameters
Professional rice appliances from the Wammashop.pl offer differ from domestic equipment in durability and applied technologies that directly affect work comfort.
Automation and Precision
The key to success is repeatability. Our devices offer:
- "Cook and Hold" System – automatically switches to keep-warm mode after cooking is finished.
- Even Heat Distribution – thanks to the special design of the heating elements, rice cooks evenly at the bottom as well as on the surface.
- Thermal Safety – protection against overheating and dry running.
Equipment and Ergonomics
Each rice cooker is supplied with a set of accessories necessary to start work immediately:
- Measuring cups and spoons – for precise dosing of water and grain and safe serving of rice (without the risk of scratching the bowl).
- Steaming inserts – (in selected models) allow for the simultaneous preparation of vegetables, fish, or meat.
- Non-stick coatings – crucial for hygiene and service speed.
Build Quality
We focus on the Bartscher brand because there is no room for compromise in professional gastronomy. Housings made of stainless steel are resistant to mechanical damage, corrosion, and cleaning agents, ensuring many years of operation.
Wide Application of Rice Cookers in Gastronomy
Although the name suggests a single use, rice cooking pots are universal devices found in various culinary concepts:
- Sushi Bars – preparing rice with ideal stickiness and acidifying it at the right temperature.
- Asian Cuisine – the basis of dishes in Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, or Indian restaurants.
- Plant-based and Diet Cuisine – quick preparation of groats (millet, buckwheat, barley) and quinoa.
- Fast Casual Venues – as a base for popular "bowls".
- Breakfast Buffets – for serving porridge or rice pudding (in appropriate models).
The Art of Rice Preparation
Rice is a demanding product, and its varieties require different treatment. Professional equipment allows you to master every style:
- Jasmine and Basmati Rice – fluffy, aromatic, usually cooked using the absorption method.
- Sushi Rice (Short-grain) – sticky, requiring precise water proportions.
- Brown and Wild Rice – requiring longer cooking times, which professional devices handle without problems.
- Groats – rice cookers are perfect for cooking buckwheat or pearl barley, ensuring their ideal fluffiness.
- Selection Criteria for the Ideal Rice Cooker
When deciding to buy, it is worth analyzing the specifics of your establishment. The most important parameter is capacity. For places serving rice as the main side dish, we recommend models with a larger capacity (8-12L) to avoid the need to constantly set new cooking cycles during service. For smaller bistros, the 1.8L model will be perfectly sufficient.
The power of the device is also important – higher power means faster boiling of water and shorter waiting time for the finished product. It is also worth paying attention to the ease of dismantling the inner bowl and lid, which significantly affects work hygiene.
Purchase Checklist:
- Estimated consumption – how many portions of rice do you serve daily?
- Type of menu – do you need only cooking or also a keep-warm function (warmer)?
- Workspace – dimensions of the device.
- Material – stainless steel is the standard in a professional kitchen.
