Ask a Question About This Product
The PIMAK M166 is a single-phase electric bain marie holding three 1/3 GN pots at controlled serving temperature. It operates on 2 kW electric resistance heating with thermostat control. Used in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations for hot-holding sauces, soups, and prepared components during service.
Commercial Application
This unit solves the problem of maintaining multiple hot components at safe serving temperature without overcooking. Tubular resistance heaters warm a stainless steel water bath that transfers gentle heat to three standard GN containers. Thermostat control prevents temperature drift during extended service periods.
Deployed on service counters, buffet lines, or prep stations during lunch and dinner service. The 2 kW heating capacity maintains 60–85°C holding temperature across all three pots. Operators refill pots from batch production without interrupting front-of-house flow.
