The HB3 is a three-compartment wet bain marie that holds food at serving temperature during extended service periods. It accommodates three GN1/3 containers with lids and operates on 1500W single-phase power. Used in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations for buffet service and kitchen holding stations.
Commercial Application
This unit sits on countertops or service lines where cooked food must remain at safe holding temperature without further cooking. The water bath distributes heat evenly across all three compartments. A drain tap simplifies water removal during cleaning and refilling cycles.
Operators load prepared dishes into GN containers before service begins. Variable heat control maintains temperature between 30°C and 85°C throughout lunch or dinner service. The included lids reduce heat loss during lulls in plating activity.
