It is a tabletop electric bain-marie (water bath) warming cabinet made of stainless steel, designed to keep prepared food at service temperature. It holds 4–6 trays (depending on tray size) and is intended for kitchens, restaurants, buffets, catering and outdoor events.
The product description covers 4–6 tray models. Actual capacity depends on the tray size and model—confirm the exact number of trays included on the product listing before purchase.
Tray inclusion varies by seller and model. Some listings include the specified number of trays while others sell the cabinet only. Check the product details or ask the seller to confirm what is included.
Many bain-marie cabinets accept standard steam-table or gastronorm pans, but compatibility depends on internal dimensions. Check the product’s internal dimensions or ask the seller for which pan sizes are supported.
A bain-marie uses heated water to gently and evenly transfer heat to the food pans, minimizing hot spots and preventing food from drying out while keeping it at a safe serving temperature.
This is an electric unit. Voltage and wattage vary by model and market (commonly 110–120V or 220–240V). Always check the product label or listing for the specific electrical requirements for the model you are buying.
Basic steps: place the unit on a stable, level surface; fill the water bath to the indicated level; plug in and switch on; set the thermostat to the desired temperature and allow the unit to preheat; place food pans into the wells and monitor water level during service.
Follow local food safety regulations. Generally, hot-holding temperatures should be at or above 60°C (140°F). Use the unit’s thermostat and a food thermometer to ensure safe holding temperatures.
The unit is designed for short- to medium-term hot holding during service. It is not a substitute for long-term warming or reheating under controlled conditions. Follow food-safety guidelines regarding maximum holding times to avoid quality and safety issues.
Unplug and allow the unit to cool. Drain the water bath, remove trays, and wash removable parts with warm soapy water. Wipe the stainless-steel interior and exterior with a mild detergent; avoid abrasive cleaners. Regularly descale if you have hard water and keep the heating element free of debris. Always dry thoroughly before storage.
