A bain marie is a catering equipment originally from France and it is the ideal machine for keeping large amounts of pre-cooked food warm and appetizing for longer periods. Designed to provide a reliable and consistent heat, food is gently warmed to keep it at a precise temperature. With contents usually held in either stainless steel or plastic gastronorm pans, you can configure a bain marie according to your meal service and quickly replace pans which are running low. There are a wide range of applications for Bain Marie including melting chocolate, baking cheesecake, cooking custard and classic warm sauces like beurre blanc, thickening condensed milk, and keeping a variety of food warm.
