💡 Quick summary:
The Pasta Cooker (KPC-6) and Noodle Cooker (KNC-6) share similar construction and controls but differ in temperature and water turbulence — the pasta cooker maintains a stable simmer (≈95°C) for delicate products, while the noodle cooker runs a rapid full boil (≈100°C) to handle high starch release and faster service turnover.
The KYCJSF-1 Pot Steamer is for steaming, not immersion boiling — it uses pressurised gas and chamber heat for large dumpling or seafood batches.

✔ Choose KPC-6 if your menu features pasta, gnocchi, or vegetables.
✔ Choose KNC-6 if you primarily serve noodles or Asian soup dishes.
✔ Choose KYCJSF-1 if you need bulk steam cooking for buns, dim sum, or seafood platters.
