Bain-marie ROCAM 02000COMP2BM/L

A bain marie trolley keeps prepared dishes at serving temperature without overcooking. Heating elements beneath a water-filled well transfer gentle, even heat through the water, maintaining a consistent low temperature across the entire surface. This method prevents hot spots and drying, preserving the texture and moisture of sauces, soups and delicate items. The water bath also acts as a thermal buffer, smoothing out temperature fluctuations when the lid is opened or dishes are added or removed.

The operator fills the well with water to the marked level, then switches the unit on. An analogue thermostat sets the desired holding temperature between +30 °C and +90 °C; a double indicator light confirms power and heating status. Once the water reaches the set point, gastronorm pans of food are placed into the well. LED lighting above the well illuminates the dishes, making them easy to identify and serve. A foldable tray holder on the side provides a temporary rest for pans while the operator transfers food to plates. A small shelf on top holds serving utensils or condiments, and a front sneezeguard allows dishes to be slid in and out without spills. When not in use, the power cable is coiled on the built-in hook and the tray holder folds flat against the trolley.

The trolley is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel throughout, including the well with its rounded edges for easy cleaning. The control panel is angled towards the operator and can be removed for maintenance. A heat-proof push handle allows the trolley to be moved between kitchen and service areas, while four swivel castors provide stability and manoeuvrability.

The 230 V, 1.51 kW power rating corresponds to a standard single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens. The 69 kg weight indicates a sturdy, fully welded frame that remains stable during transit but can still be rolled by one person. The 900 mm width accommodates two full-size gastronorm pans side by side, while the 609 mm depth fits within standard worktop runs. The 1299 mm height allows the shelf to be used without stooping, and the overall footprint is compact enough for tight service corridors.

Cleaning involves draining the well, wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a mild detergent, and rinsing. The removable control panel and rounded well edges simplify access to hidden areas. The foldable tray holder and sneezeguard can be detached for thorough cleaning, and the LED lighting is sealed against moisture.

Optional accessories include a full stainless steel dish holder on the short side, additional foldable tray slides, and stainless steel dividers for gastronorm pans in both 1/1 and 1/2 sizes. A UK plug variant is available at additional cost.
