The B20 electric bain-marie holds four gastronorm containers on a heated water bath base. It maintains prepared food at serving temperature during service periods in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations. The 2200W electric heating element provides consistent heat distribution across all four compartments.
Commercial Application
This unit fits into front-of-house service stations and back-of-house hot holding areas. It keeps sauces, vegetables, proteins, and side dishes at safe serving temperatures without continuing to cook the food. Water bath heating prevents scorching and maintains moisture content.
During service hours, the unit operates continuously to support buffet service, banquet plating, or à la carte meal assembly. Four gastronorm pans allow separation of different menu items. Temperature control prevents bacterial growth while preserving food quality through multi-hour service periods.
