A bain marie is a wet-heat holding station that keeps prepared food at safe serving temperature without overcooking it. This electric unit runs twelve 1.8-gallon pans in a single water bath, with a thermostat you set anywhere from 86°F to 185°F (30–85°C) to match soups, sauces, gravies, or hot sides. The glass top and water valve are built in — the glass guard keeps a buffet line tidy and the drain valve empties the bath at end of service instead of bailing it by hand.

At 58.1 inches wide it suits a carvery, breakfast buffet, or back-of-house holding bay where dishes wait between the kitchen and the pass. Each pan measures 12.8"x6.9"x5.9" and lifts out for cleaning or swapping mid-service.

Frequently asked questions

What does an electric bain marie do in a commercial kitchen?

It holds already-cooked food at a safe serving temperature using a heated water bath rather than direct heat, so sauces, soups, and sides stay hot without scorching or drying out. This unit runs 12 pans on one adjustable thermostat from 86°F to 185°F.

How many food pans does this bain marie hold and what size?

It holds 12 pans, each with a 1.8-gallon capacity and dimensions of 12.8"x6.9"x5.9" (325x176x150 mm). The pans lift out individually for cleaning or swapping between dishes during service.

Does this bain marie need a water valve to drain?

Yes, and one is included. The built-in drain valve empties the water bath at the end of service, so you don't have to bail or tip the unit by hand. The glass top guard is also part of the package.

What power supply does the food warmer require?

The element draws 2000W and runs on 110/220V. Confirm your local voltage and circuit rating before ordering, and contact us if you need help matching it to your site.

What temperature range can I set for holding food?

The thermostat adjusts from 86°F to 185°F (30–85°C), which covers everything from delicate sauces and gravies at the low end to soups and stews at the top of the range.

Is shipping included in the price?

For in-stock items — anything you can add to the cart — shipping is included in the listed price. For made-to-order items, delivery is either free (marked on the product page) or calculated when you place your order, based on destination and volume.

How long does delivery take?

In-stock items typically arrive within one to three weeks. Made-to-order items take three to six weeks, since we work directly with manufacturers and need time for production and logistics before shipping. Your assigned manager confirms a more precise estimate once your order is placed. Please note we can't be responsible for delays caused by customs clearance in the destination country.

Are import duties and taxes included?

In most cases, yes — we aim to ship Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), which means duties and import taxes are handled so you don't face extra charges on delivery. In rare cases we may ship Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU), where you would settle import charges directly with the carrier — but only when agreed with you in advance.

Do your products come with a warranty?

Yes. Most of our equipment comes with a one-to-two-year manufacturer's warranty covering factory defects and technical faults under normal use; the specific term is stated on each product page. If a defect appears, we arrange a replacement or refund in line with our Exchange & Return Policy, and our team guides you through the claim step by step.
