Ask a Question About This Product
The PIMAK 70SD-M180 is a 2 kW electric bain marie with capacity for two 1/1 GN pots. It maintains serving temperature for pre-cooked dishes, sauces, and hot foods during service periods. The unit operates on single-phase 230V power and draws 2 kW through tubular resistance elements controlled by adjustable thermostat.
Commercial Application
Bain marie units occupy service-line positions in restaurants, hotel breakfast stations, and catering buffets. They hold cooked food at 60-70°C without further cooking. Staff load GN pots during prep, then maintain temperature through lunch or dinner service without tie-up of main cooking equipment.
Two 1/1 GN wells provide 26 litres total capacity across standard gastronorm containers. Operators run mains, sides, or sauces in separate wells with independent temperature zones. The tall cabinet height accommodates deep GN pans for bulk holding or stacked shallow pans for variety service.
