Sauce Dispenser Casselin CBMECS1

A bain-marie keeps sauces, soups and gravies at serving temperature without scorching or drying out. The Casselin electric sauce warmer heats a water bath with an element beneath the vat. Hot water transfers heat evenly to the gastronorm pan above, so every portion stays at the same gentle warmth. The water also buffers temperature swings, letting the thermostat hold the set point without overshooting. This method prevents hot spots that can break emulsions or burn delicate sauces, and it keeps the food moist for hours without stirring or reheating.

To use the unit, fill the vat with water up to the marked level, then place the GN1/2 pan of prepared sauce inside. Set the adjustable thermostat between 40 °C and 95 °C to match the required holding temperature. Turn the appliance on with the front-mounted switch; the safety thermostat cuts power if the water overheats. When service is finished, open the drain tap to empty the vat without lifting the heavy pan.

The construction is stainless steel throughout, including the vat, outer casing and control panel. A GN1/2 gastronorm pan of 150 mm depth fits inside, giving an effective capacity of 8.5 litres. The unit measures 344 mm wide, 320 mm deep and 300 mm high, so it sits on a worktop or shelf without overhang. At 7.5 kg it is light enough to move between stations or store when not in use.

The adjustable thermostat lets the operator choose any temperature between 40 °C and 95 °C, covering everything from delicate custards to robust gravies. The 1 kW element draws a steady load on a standard 230 V single-phase circuit, the same as most countertop appliances in a professional kitchen. The drain tap simplifies cleaning by letting the water run out without tilting the unit, and the smooth stainless surfaces wipe down quickly after service.

This model is designed for GN1/2 gastronorm pans only, matching the standardised inserts used across professional kitchens. It is listed in the Casselin countertop equipment catalogue under sauce warmers.
