Bain-marie Novameta BHS-Z-WM2-NLU-120/65/90

A heated cupboard with an integrated bain marie keeps prepared dishes at serving temperature without drying or overcooking. The unit circulates warm air evenly around three gastronorm 1/1 trays, while a separate water bath below maintains moisture and gentle heat for sauces, soups or delicate items. This dual system lets a kitchen hold both dry and wet dishes ready for service without cross-contamination or flavour transfer. Warm air is generated by a silicone heating pad mounted inside the cupboard. The pad heats quickly and distributes heat uniformly across the interior, eliminating cold spots. A fan moves the air continuously, ensuring every tray receives the same temperature. Below, the bain marie uses the same warm air to heat a water-filled well; the water then transfers heat gently to the inserted trays, preventing scorching and keeping liquids at a consistent temperature. To use the appliance, the operator fills the bain marie well with water to the indicated level. The three GN1/1 trays are loaded into the cupboard section, and any items for moist holding are placed in the bain marie trays. The digital thermostatic controller is set to the desired temperature between 30 °C and 85 °C. Once the unit reaches the set point, it maintains the temperature automatically, allowing staff to focus on other tasks. The same controller governs both the cupboard and the bain marie, so a single setting applies to both sections. The exterior is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a professional kitchen. The interior also uses stainless steel for the cupboard and bain marie wells. A silicone heating pad provides the heat source, and an independent digital thermostatic controller allows precise temperature management. The unit measures 1200 mm wide, 600 mm deep and 900 mm high, fitting standard worktop heights and gastronorm shelving systems. The 3650 W power rating indicates the load the appliance places on the electrical supply. It requires a dedicated 230 V circuit capable of handling the current draw without tripping breakers or causing voltage drops. The temperature range of 30 °C to 85 °C covers holding, proofing and gentle reheating, but excludes high-temperature cooking or rapid chilling. After each service, the seamless stainless-steel cavity lets you clear splashes from the bain-marie wells and the cupboard shelves with a single pass of a damp cloth. The bain marie well should be drained and cleaned regularly to prevent scale build-up. The silicone heating pad requires no maintenance beyond ensuring it remains dry and free from debris. The digital controller is wiped with a soft, dry cloth to avoid moisture ingress. The appliance is supplied with three GN1/1 trays as standard. It is categorised under heated holding equipment in the professional catering catalogue.
