Bain-marie BHS-G GBS1012-074EK

A free standing bain marie keeps prepared dishes at serving temperature without drying or overcooking. Two GN 1/1 wells share a single thermostat, so both hold the same heat. Hot water circulates around the wells, transferring heat evenly to the containers above. This water bath method prevents hot spots and keeps sauces, soups and delicate items stable for hours.

The operator fills the welded well to the marked water level, then places GN 1/1-200 mm gastronorm containers on the support bars. A single on/off switch and smooth thermostat dial set the temperature between 30 °C and 100 °C. Once the water reaches the chosen setting, the bain marie maintains it automatically, allowing staff to focus on plating and service.

Construction is stainless steel throughout, including the welded well, support bars and open cupboard base. Height-adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors. Drain valves on the front panel simplify water changes and cleaning.

The 2 kW power rating draws a steady load suitable for a standard 230 V single-phase circuit. The 740 mm width fits two GN 1/1 containers side by side, while the 850 mm height allows placement under most worktop extractor hoods. The open cupboard below provides storage for serving utensils or backup containers.

After service, the operator drains the well through the front valves, wipes the stainless steel surfaces and leaves the cupboard open to air dry. Regular descaling of the well maintains heat transfer efficiency.

This model is a free standing bain marie with common temperature control for two GN 1/1 wells. It is listed in the BHS-G professional catering catalogue under holding and display equipment.
