Commercial Wet Heat Bain Marie Features & Performance

  • Versatile Gastronorm Well: Designed to hold standard commercial Gastronorm pans in multiple configurations. Set up the well with 1 x GN 1/1 pan for large single-dish holding, 2 x GN 1/2 pans for two complementary items, or 3 x GN 1/3 pans for hot toppings, dips, and sauces (GN pans sold separately).
  • Gentle Wet-Heat Water Bath: Utilises indirect steam and hot water contact against the pan undersides. This prevents scorching, burning, or skin formation on delicate dishes like cheese sauces, custard, and gravies over long service periods.
  • Twin 600W Base Heating Plates: Delivers 1.2kW of balanced heat across the entire water well, avoiding localised hot spots and ensuring all pans maintain steady temperature profiles.
  • Adjustable Thermostat & Clear Indicators: Smooth rotary temperature control dial with separate power and heating indicator lights lets kitchen staff monitor heating status at a glance.
  • 85°C Thermal Safety Limiter: Protects the heating base and heating elements from burnout if the water level evaporates or excessive limescale accumulates.
  • Solid Stainless Steel Housing: Fabricated entirely from commercial food-grade stainless steel for high resistance to steam, food acids, and heavy utensil impact.
  • Compact Countertop Footprint: Measuring just 500mm wide, the INF-BM fits into narrow service counters, food trailer passes, and buffet lines where kitchen space is at a premium.
  • Standard UK 13A Plug Connection: Operates on standard 220–240V commercial single-phase electrics with a factory-fitted UK 13A 3-pin plug for immediate plug-and-play operation.

Operating Note: Always add clean water to the well (approx. 25mm above the heating base, touching the bottom of the GN pans) before powering on. Allow the unit to cool before manually emptying the water tank after service. In hard-water areas, periodic descaling is recommended to protect the elements and thermal sensor.

Pair this commercial bain marie with our stainless steel prep tables, water boilers, and Dutch pancake makers to create a streamlined hot-pass workflow.
