Commercial Bain Marie - HHBWT-150

A commercial bain marie taking 4 x GN 1/1 containers, rated 4.8 kW at 220-240 V with a 30 to 90°C range, in a 1500 mm body with a 300 mm rear extension and a 500 mm overhead section. A bain marie holds food in a water bath rather than by direct heat, which is what prevents the scorching and drying that direct-heat holding causes.

Who it suits

For buffet service, canteens and hotel breakfast lines holding several dishes at once. Four GN 1/1 wells cover a typical hot buffet selection. Holding temperature is a food-safety control rather than a preference, so the setting must keep food above the required threshold for the entire service period, not merely warm.

Common questions

What temperature should hot food be held at?
Food-safety requirements specify a minimum hot-holding temperature. Set the bain marie to keep food above that threshold throughout service, and check with a probe.

Why use a water bath rather than direct heat?
Water transfers heat gently and evenly, so food does not scorch at the base or dry at the edges the way direct heating causes.

How many dishes does it hold?
Four GN 1/1 containers, which can be subdivided into smaller gastronorm fractions for more dishes.

Does it need a water top-up during service?
Water baths lose water to evaporation, particularly in dry conditions. Check the level through service to avoid running dry.
