The B20 electric bain-marie maintains prepared dishes at controlled serving temperatures using a heated water bath system. Four compartment capacity suits medium-volume restaurant service, buffet lines, and hotel breakfast operations. Commercial kitchens use this unit when holding soups, sauces, or prepared entrees during active service periods.
Commercial Application
Heated water bath design prevents direct heat contact with food containers. This configuration reduces scorching risk and maintains consistent temperature across all four compartments. Operators fill compartments with gastronorm pans containing pre-cooked items requiring temperature hold before plating.
During breakfast service or lunch rush, the unit holds multiple prepared dishes simultaneously. The 2200W heating element maintains water temperature throughout extended service windows. Staff reload compartments as pans empty without interrupting heat retention.
