The CB12 Double Soup Warmer holds two 9-litre reservoirs at service temperature using 1200W electric heating. It maintains pre-cooked soups, sauces, and liquid preparations at safe holding temperatures during service periods. Staff ladle portions directly from heated wells on buffet lines, self-service stations, or back-of-house pass areas.
Commercial Application
This unit solves the thermal hold problem during extended service windows. Kitchens batch-cook soups in production areas, then transfer finished product to the warmer for portioning. Temperature stability reduces waste from overcooking or bacterial growth zones.
During lunch or dinner service, front-of-house staff serve directly from heated wells. Each 9-litre reservoir supplies approximately 45 standard 200ml portions. The dual-well configuration allows simultaneous service of two different soups or rotation between high and low demand items.

- Compact 40×60×30cm footprint fits standard buffet counters and service stations

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this warmer suit high-volume restaurant service?
A: The 18-litre total capacity serves buffet operations, cafeterias, and catering events with moderate soup demand. High-volume restaurants serving 200+ covers per service should consider larger bain marie systems with 15-20 litre individual wells. This unit handles 90-100 portions across both reservoirs before refill.
Q: Is gas heating available instead of electric?
A: This model uses 1200W electric heating only. TurcoBazaar supplies gas-fired bain marie units in separate product lines for operations without adequate electrical supply. Gas models require ventilation hood installation and annual safety inspection under UK commercial kitchen regulations.
Q: Which countries does TurcoBazaar ship to?
A: We ship from UK warehouses to Europe, North America (USA and Canada), Middle East, and African markets. Freight method depends on order weight—small parcels via courier, multi-unit orders via pallet freight. International buyers should confirm voltage compatibility before ordering.
Q: What after-sales support is included?
A: TurcoBazaar provides technical support for installation, operational questions, and troubleshooting. We supply replacement parts including heating elements, thermostats, and inserts. CE certification documentation available for health inspection or building compliance requirements.
Q: How do I order replacement inserts or heating elements?
A: Contact our parts department with your CB12 model number and serial plate details. We stock reservoir inserts, heating elements, control knobs, and thermostat assemblies. Most spare parts ship within 3-5 working days to UK addresses.
