The B18 Double Stel Top Bain-marie maintains prepared foods at safe serving temperatures in commercial kitchens. It runs on 1200W electric power and accommodates two stainless steel gastronorm pans. Operators use it on buffet lines, in front-of-house service stations, and back-of-house holding areas.
Commercial Application
This bain-marie solves the workflow problem of keeping cooked foods at temperature during service without drying or overcooking. Water-bath heating distributes warmth evenly across pan bottoms. Cooks plate directly from the holding unit during peak hours.
The unit runs throughout lunch and dinner service. Two-pan capacity allows separation of sauces from proteins or side dishes from mains. Kitchen staff refill pans from batch cooking stations without interrupting front-of-house flow.
