This offer ends in:
The M103 holds three GN1/3 pans in heated water at controlled serving temperature during service. Operating on 0.6kW single-phase power, it maintains batch-prepared foods between cooking and plating. Used in hotel buffets, catering lines, and restaurants where multiple dishes require simultaneous hot holding.
Commercial Application
Bain marie units fill the gap between kitchen production and front-of-house service. Food prepared in advance stays at safe temperature without overcooking or drying. The water bath distributes heat evenly across all three compartments.
During peak service hours, kitchen staff plate directly from the heated pans. The integrated tap drains the water bath at end of shift. GN1/3 pan size allows portion control for side dishes, sauces, or smaller mains.
