This offer ends in:
The M404 bain marie holds four 1/4 GN pans at service temperature using a 600W wet heat system. Manufactured by Zodex for high-volume buffet service, plated meal assembly, and banquet operations. Standard 230V single-phase connection suits most UK and European commercial kitchen electrical infrastructure.
Commercial Application
Installed on service lines where pre-cooked food must hold at safe temperature during extended service periods. The wet heat chamber distributes thermal energy evenly across all four pans without surface scorching or moisture loss. Operators refill pans during peak service without shutting down the unit.
Used during breakfast buffets, banqueting plating stations, and carvery operations where multiple hot components are served simultaneously. The 4x1/4 GN capacity allows separation of proteins, vegetables, sauces, and starches in a compact 540mm footprint. Tap with B-style faucet enables water level adjustment without removing food pans.
Key Operational Advantages
- 600W heating element maintains 4x1/4 GN pans at service temperature throughout extended service periods
- Wet heat system prevents surface drying and protein texture degradation during hold times
- Integrated drainage tap allows water replacement without disassembling pan configuration
- 540x340x245mm footprint fits standard service counter depths with minimal installation modifications
- Standard UK plug fitted — no hardwiring or electrical contractor required for installation
- All GN pans and lids included — operational immediately after unboxing and water fill

Q: Does TurcoBazaar ship the M404 to the USA and Canada?
A: Yes. TurcoBazaar ships worldwide including USA and Canada. The unit operates on 230V single-phase power, so a step-down transformer or voltage converter may be required in 120V regions. Contact us for freight quotation and electrical compatibility guidance.
Q: Are replacement parts available after purchase?
A: Yes. TurcoBazaar stocks spare heating elements, drainage taps, and replacement GN pans for the M404. Parts ship internationally with technical guidance provided for installation or maintenance procedures.
