How should heating power be evaluated when buying a lifting noodle cooker?

Do not judge a lifting noodle cooker by kilowatt rating alone. Ask for the water volume per tank, the noodle load per basket, and the target temperature recovery time during a busy service. Then have the supplier record a cold-start heat-up curve and a temperature curve after repeated batch loading, showing whether the unit returns to boiling within the agreed window. If only catalogue figures are offered, request measured data from an identical auto-lifting noodle boiler. State water volume, batch size, recovery time and pass/fail method in the order and acceptance sheet, so the trial on arrival matches the agreed conditions and the lifting basket suits the tank.
