BenchStar Automatic Single Pan Fried Dumplings/Buns Machine NPD-1

The Benchstar NPD-1 is an automatic single-pan machine for fried dumplings and buns — potstickers, gyoza, mandu, pierogi, pan-fried steamed buns and scones. A corrosion-resistant hard chrome grill plate transfers heat evenly across the pan, and the automatic cycle means the operator is not standing over it. It needs a 15 A plug.

Why operators choose the NPD-1

• Automatic single-pan cycle — the machine runs the cook rather than an operator judging it, which is what makes output consistent
• Corrosion-resistant hard chrome grill plate — even heat transfer, and a surface that survives a wet, starchy product
• Handles a genuine range — potstickers, gyoza, mandu, pierogi, pan-fried steamed buns and scones
• Compact 285 mm footprint — a specialist machine that still fits a bench slot
• 27 kg — stable in use, and liftable for cleaning
• 15 A plug required — confirm the circuit before delivery — not a standard 10 A appliance

Specifications

Venue suitability

Dumpling houses, Asian restaurants and food courts, and any kitchen adding a pan-fried dumpling line without committing a chef to it. The automatic cycle is the point: consistent output from a station that would otherwise need constant attention.
