Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a wet or dry bain marie?


Wet-heat. Add water to the well to gently and evenly hold food at temperature.

Which GN pans fit?


GN pans up to 150 mm deep (various sizes/combos). Choose stainless pans with matching lids for best results.

No—this is a hot-holding unit. Heat food to safe core temperature first, then transfer to the bain marie.

How do I drain and clean it?


Turn off, allow to cool slightly, place a suitable container under the outlet, and use the drain tap to empty the well before wiping down.

Can I use it on a mobile servery?


Yes—its compact, countertop design suits passes, buffets, and mobile setups (ensure a stable surface and safe power).
