Rinnai RER-55AS-N Commercial Gas Rice Cooker 55 cups Raw

Model: RER-55AS-N, Serial Number:, Natural Gas

Item #R-2640

Rinnai commercial gas rice cookers are industry-standard tools for high-volume kitchens, prized for their ability to produce superior rice texture compared to electric models. By using an open-flame heating system, these units achieve a more intense and even heat, which is essential for perfect sushi rice, jasmine rice, or large batches of grains.

The most common professional models are the RER-55AS (Natural Gas or Propane) and the larger RER-series floor units.

The Industry Leader: Rinnai RER-55AS

The Rinnai RER-55AS is a high-capacity countertop unit that can cook up to 55 cups (10 liters) of raw rice in approximately 22 minutes.

• Automatic Operation: Features a one-touch ignition system and an automatic simmer/shut-off mechanism that detects when the water has been fully absorbed.

• Superior Texture: The gas flame creates a natural convection within the pot, ensuring every grain is cooked evenly without the "scorched" bottom often found in electric cookers.

• Durability: Built with a heavy-duty enameled steel exterior and a thick-cast aluminum inner pot that retains heat and resists warping over years of high-volume use.

Key Features for Commercial Kitchens

• High Output: Capable of producing up to 110 bowls of cooked rice per batch, making it ideal for large catering events or busy Asian-concept restaurants.

• Energy Efficiency: Gas heating provides a rapid boil and quick recovery times, which can be more cost-effective than electric units in areas with high electricity rates.

• Pilot Safety: Equipped with a safety thermocouple that automatically shuts off the gas supply if the flame is extinguished.

• Easy Cleanup: The inner pot and the moisture-capture lid are completely removable for easy sanitation in a three-compartment sink.
