Ask a Question About This Product
This electric bain marie holds three 1/3 GN pots at controlled temperature for service line display or buffet holding. It runs on 1.5 kW single-phase power with thermostat-controlled tubular heating elements submerged in a stainless steel water tank. Used in restaurants, hotels, catering operations, and food service lines where hot food must be held at safe serving temperature throughout service periods.
Commercial Application
The unit sits at service stations or buffet counters where prepared hot food must remain at temperature without further cooking. Kitchen staff transfer cooked items from ovens or ranges into the GN containers, then slide the containers into the heated water bath. The thermostat maintains water temperature, which in turn keeps food at safe holding temperature without scorching or drying.
During lunch or dinner service, front-of-house staff or chefs serve directly from the bain marie. The three-pot capacity accommodates sides, sauces, or mains simultaneously. Water bath heating distributes warmth evenly without exposing food to direct flame or dry heat, which extends holding time and preserves texture.
