Commercial Bain Maries

Our Commercial Bain Marie’s can be used either dry or wet. The Bain Marie’s unique design even allows switching between dry and wet, as the heating elements are completely sealed and not exposed to water when used as wet wells.

Hot Cupoards under the bain marie wells have a separate, fan-forced heating system and temperature controller. The entire heating system can be quickly removed and replaced for service and maintenance. The heating system is very energy efficient and spreads the heat evenly, resulting in faster heat up times and quicker heat recovery. Hot Cupboard efficiency is further enhanced by bright polished internal panels. Premier Bain Maries are designed for heavy duty commercial use.

FAQs

What is a bain marie?

We still refer to them as ‘bain maries’ (water bath) but apart from maintaining the temperature of hot food prior to service, we now have a large range of countertop, drop-in and mobile units, using wet-well, dry-well, and ceramic glass heating methods. Our dry-well bain maries are predominantly fitted with energy efficient fan heating systems which ditribute heat quickly and evenly, resulting in faster heat up times and quicker heat recovery. The Versigen range includes portable and static units, heavy duty or lightweight, bench top or all-in-one models (with gantries and over shelves).
