This tabletop gas bain marie holds one GN 1/1 container up to 150 mm deep. It maintains hot holding temperatures during buffet service, cafeteria lines, and catering operations. Kitchen staff operate the unit with piezo ignition and thermocouple flame monitoring.
Commercial Application
Hotels and catering operations use gas bain maries where electrical infrastructure is limited or gas fuel cost is lower. The unit sits on service counters or mobile trolleys. Staff load pre-cooked food in GN pans and maintain serving temperature without further cooking.
Operators ignite the burner before service and adjust flame intensity for different food types. One GN 1/1 pan holds 13-15 litres depending on fill depth. The 150 mm depth accommodates both shallow and deep gastronorm pans during extended buffet periods.

- 2.75 kW / 2.5 kW burner output in propane or natural gas configurations
- Stainless steel body with ventilation slots prevents heat accumulation
- Rubber feet stabilize unit on counter surfaces without fixings
- Piezo electric ignition removes pilot light fuel consumption

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this unit built with 304 or 430 grade stainless steel?
A: Body construction uses 304-grade stainless steel. This provides corrosion resistance in commercial kitchens with high humidity and cleaning chemical exposure.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity for the top surface?
A: The unit supports up to 25 kg static load when filled GN pans are placed in the well. Tabletop placement requires a counter surface rated for minimum 30 kg distributed load.
Q: Can the unit be converted between propane and natural gas?
A: Yes. Conversion requires replacement of the burner jet with the correct orifice size for your gas type. TurcoBazaar supplies conversion kits with jets and installation instructions.
Q: Does the bain marie include height-adjustable feet?
A: No. The unit has fixed rubber feet for counter placement. Height adjustment is not standard on tabletop models.
Q: Are custom sizing options available for multi-well configurations?
A: This model is fixed at GN 1/1 capacity. Multi-well units in 2×1/1 and 3×1/1 configurations are available as separate models. Contact us for custom fabrication on orders above 10 units.
