Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to an automated pasta cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] In dining venues serving large numbers of people, noodle processing still relies primarily on traditional manual cooking or a combination of simple mechanical utensils. This involves cumbersome steps, including but not limited to manually cooking the noodles, stirring to prevent sticking, and draining the water. Mechanical utensils are only used to assist in certain parts of the process, resulting in low production efficiency, reliance on manual operation, and high labor costs.

[0003] Noodle cooking devices are automated operation equipment that uses mechanical structure control and supporting functional modules to realize the key steps of automatic noodle cooking. The core goal is to replace the cumbersome steps of traditional manual cooking, improve cooking efficiency, standardization and ease of operation. They are used in catering stores and canteens to solve the problems of relying on human experience, unstable product quality and high labor costs in the traditional noodle cooking process. However, problems still exist when using noodle cooking devices. During the noodle cooking process, the mechanical stirring arm scratches and breaks the noodles, causing the noodles to break into pieces or chunks and flow into the water tank, reducing the weight and making the final product look unsightly. In addition, due to the static water flow problem, the noodles are heated unevenly, resulting in undercooked or overly soft noodles, making it difficult to guarantee food quality.
