Bain Maries

Bain Maries

Used to display and keep food warm before serving, a bain marie is a versatile kitchen appliance. These units find use in many catering businesses and are enjoying a boom in popularity. They hold a fantastic ability to keep food heated at a constant temperature.

The bain marie has become synonymous with canteens, carveries and fast food restaurants. They're helpful for those that need quick access to quality, consistent prepared foods.

By holding food at a consistent temperature that doesn't vary, you can cook delicate foods. This means you can extend the shelf life and reduce your food waste.

Not only that, but a bain marie (or series of them) could help maximise your potential profits as a result.

They utilise a double boiler. This is a heated water bath, within which is another container which holds the foodstuff.

These units are for gentle cooking as part of a food display, combined with merchandising or heated gantry units. Help entice your customers and give them peace of mind when choosing a range of dishes.

Perfect for a range of food, with options for both wet and dry food, and either gas or electric-powered units. This could be exactly what your kitchen or serving space has been missing.

Dry vs Wet Heat

Bain maries hold a variety of foods - gravies, sauces, soups, meats, vegetables and more for up to several hours. But what is the difference?

Dry heat variants are suitable for wide range of food service applications. Wet heat bain maries are perfect for delicate products like custard, gravies, soups and sauces.

What works best for your particular business is bound by what kinds of foods you plan on serving. Some units offer both dry and wet heat options to give you a better range of serving options.
