This offer ends in:
The M400 bain marie holds food at service temperature in commercial kitchens using a 600W wet heat system and a single 1/1 GN pan configuration. It runs on standard 230V single-phase mains power with a fitted UK plug. Hotels, caterers, and restaurant service lines use this unit during extended service periods where sauces, proteins, or prepared sides must remain warm without drying out.
Commercial Application
Wet bain marie systems maintain temperature without direct heat contact. The M400 fills with water, which transfers heat evenly to the GN pan above. This prevents scorching and moisture loss during prolonged holding periods common in buffet service, carvery stations, and high-volume plating lines.
The unit operates continuously during lunch and dinner service. A single 1/1 GN pan holds approximately 13 litres, sufficient for sauces, stews, or braised items serving 40–60 covers. The included tap drains water between services without tipping the unit.
