Hot bain-marie with neutral cabinet LOTUS 08050410X

A bain marie keeps prepared food at serving temperature without drying or burning. It circulates warm water around a deep tank; the water bath transfers heat evenly to the gastronorm pan, so sauces, soups and delicate dishes stay moist and ready for plating.

The operator slides a GN1/1 pan into the 150 mm tank, fills the tank with water to the marked level, and sets the thermostatic control. Once the water reaches the chosen temperature, the heating element cycles on and off to maintain it. The open cabinet below gives storage for spare pans or serving utensils, and the front drain tap empties the tank without lifting.

The unit is built from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The 2 mm thick worktop has rounded edges and chrome-plated components for durability. IPX5-rated water-resistant knobs protect the controls from splashes, and adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors.

The single control knob sets the water temperature. A locking system secures the pan during transport.

A 2.1 kW power rating draws a steady load on a standard 230 V single-phase circuit, suitable for most professional kitchens. The 400×705×900 mm footprint fits a standard worktop space, while the 41 kg weight allows two people to move it without a trolley. The 150 mm tank depth accepts deeper gastronorm pans for larger batches.

Cleaning involves draining the tank through the front tap, wiping the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth, and rinsing the tank. The rounded edges and satin finish reduce food adhesion, and the IPX5-rated knobs prevent water ingress during washing.

The BM-74EMX is a single-phase model for 230 V supplies. The catalogue lists it under counter-top bain maries with open storage cabinets.
