The B17 single counter top bain-marie uses electric heating to maintain prepared foods at safe serving temperatures in commercial operations. It sits on counters in restaurants, hotels, and catering kitchens where space is limited. Staff use it to hold sauces, soups, or pre-cooked components during service.
Commercial Application
Counter-mounted bain-maries solve the problem of holding prepared foods at temperature without overcooking. The B17 integrates into buffet lines, serveries, and prep stations where chefs need immediate access to hot components. Electric operation requires only a standard 230V outlet.
During lunch or dinner service, the unit holds one gastronorm pan of sauce, gravy, or soup at steady temperature. Staff ladle portions without leaving the service line. The compact footprint fits into tight counter layouts common in small restaurants and mobile catering units.
