Bain-marie Novameta BHS-Z-WM2-NLU-190/65/90

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 gastronorm trays while the bain marie below maintains a gentle water bath for sauces, soups or delicate items that must stay moist. This dual system lets a kitchen hold both dry and wet components at the same temperature, ready for plating or service. Warm air is generated by a silicone heating pad mounted inside the cupboard. The pad heats quickly and transfers energy efficiently to the air, which is then moved by a fan to eliminate cold spots. A separate digital thermostat controls the cupboard and another regulates the bain marie, so each section can be set to the exact temperature the food requires. The operator loads gastronorm trays into the cupboard shelves and fills the bain marie with water and the containers that fit it. Once the desired temperatures are entered, the unit maintains them automatically until the food is needed. The cupboard is built from stainless steel inside and out, with a single door that seals to retain heat. Shelves are adjustable to accept different tray heights. The bain marie is a single well sized for five GN1/1 containers, supplied as part of the unit. Independent digital controllers with LED displays show the current temperature for each section and allow precise setting in the 30–85 °C range. A power rating of 4750 W indicates the load on the electrical supply; the unit requires a dedicated 230 V circuit capable of handling that demand. The temperature range of 30–85 °C covers holding, proofing and gentle reheating, but not cooking or rapid chilling. The footprint of 1900 mm by 600 mm fits standard worktop depths and allows the unit to be placed against a wall or between other equipment. The height of 900 mm brings the shelves to a comfortable working level without needing a step. After service, the seamless stainless surfaces let you wipe away cooking residues without trapping moisture or harbouring bacteria. The bain marie well is drained and cleaned after each use to prevent scale build-up. Shelves and trays are removed for thorough cleaning. The silicone heating pad and fan require no regular maintenance beyond keeping the air vents clear. The model includes five GN1/1 containers for the bain marie as standard.
