FOOD SOLUTIONS
DC Norris provides a comprehensive range of solutions for cooking rice, pasta, vegetables and pulses. Whether you prefer a wok-style cooking approach or are looking for the latest in automated technology with our innovative Cook Quench Chill 'Adapt' system, we have the expertise to meet your processing needs.
Cook Quench Chill
From simple kettle-based systems with overhead hoists to our fully automated Cook Quench Chill Adapt series with advanced wave agitation, we offer the ideal solution for consistent, high-quality results across a wide variety of food types. These systems are designed to enhance efficiency, improve yield, and maintain product integrity throughout the cooking and cooling process.
Our Cook Quench Chill equipment cooks starches like rice, pasta and vegetables and then chills them to 4°C whilst retaining product definition on susceptible products such as long pasta or noodles. Our industry leading Cook Quench Chill systems prepare delicate foods without sticking, which makes de-nesting of products like noodles easy to achieve without damage.
When it comes to rice production, consistency, quality, and efficiency are key. DC Norris’ Industrial Rice Cooker solutions deliver precisely that. Whether you are producing steamed rice, egg-fried rice, pilau, or other rice-based products, our equipment ensures perfectly cooked results batch after batch. Using the absorption method within our Steam-Jacketed Kettles and followed by our Vacuum Cooling System, rice is cooked to an exceptional standard, maintaining the ideal texture and flavour while optimising energy usage.
Our Industrial Rice Cooker systems are widely used in ready meal production, central production kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities where large volumes and consistent quality are essential.
Wok-Style Braising Pan
The Model 2700 Wok is a versatile, high-performance steam-jacketed braising pan ideal for small-batch ethnic and ready meal products. This agitated braising pan can fry, cook, and simmer, reaching high temperatures in half the time of conventional kettles. It’s particularly suited for dishes requiring authentic wok-style preparation.
Root Vegetable Cooker
For root vegetables such as potatoes, beetroot, and carrots, our Root Vegetable Cooker offers continuous throughput of up to 2 tons per hour. This high-capacity solution ensures vegetables are evenly cooked, retaining both nutritional value and appearance.

DC Norris has innovated a Continuous Root Vegetable Cooker designed to achieve consistently high-quality, evenly cooked food, primarily for mashed potatoes.
This agitated Braising Pan can fry, cook and simmer and is capable of reaching high temperatures in half the time of conventional kettles.
The ‘Adapt’ is using a fraction of the amount of water and energy compared to our existing linear system. We have seen significant improvements in overall plant and labour productivity, through increased batch sizes, reduced cycle times (in some cases cycle times have halved) and reduced line manning.
