Commercial Bain Marie | Wet Heat Food Warmer | 600 Series Countertop | Buffalo CU480

Q: What does 'wet heat' mean?

A: It means the appliance uses a hot water bath to gently heat the food pans above it. This provides even, moist heat that prevents food from drying out or burning.

Q: Can I use this for solid foods like sausages or bacon?

A: It is specifically designed for wet foods such as soups, sauces, gravy, beans, and  curries. For holding dry, crispy items, a dry heat bain marie or heat lamp is recommended.

Q: Do the gastronorm pans come with the unit?

A: No, the GN pans and  divider bars are sold separately. This allows you to configure the stainless steel bain marie for your restaurant's specific menu needs.

Q: How do I drain the water?

A: There is a simple-to-use tap located on the front of the unit, allowing for quick, safe, and  easy draining once the water has cooled.

Q: What is the maximum temperature?

A: The thermostat allows you to heat the water bath to a maximum temperature of 90°C.

Q: Is this a plug-and-play unit?

A: Yes, it runs from a standard 230V mains supply and  is fitted with a 13A plug, so you can get it up and  running straight away.

Q: What does 1/1 GN capacity mean?

A: It means the unit can hold one full-size (1/1) Gastronorm pan, or a combination of smaller pans that equal that size (e.g., two 1/2 GN pans or three 1/3 GN pans).

Q: Can I put the gastronorm pans directly on a hob to heat up first?

A: It depends on the pans you purchase. Always check if your specific gastronorm pans are hob-safe before doing so.
