Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The wet heat system is superb at preserving food texture and  moisture.
  • Consideration: It requires manual water filling, so staff need to monitor the level during long services.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Schoolhouse Tea Room in Windermere, Cumbria needed to upgrade its food holding capabilities for its popular lunchtime specials. Their old system was unreliable, leading to inconsistent temperatures and  food waste.

"The Easy bain marie has been brilliant. It's so simple to use, and  we know for a fact that the soup and  stews we serve are held at the exact right temperature from the first customer to the last. Our regulars have even noticed the improved quality."

Robert Davies – Owner

The new unit has helped them reduce their daily food waste from hot-held items by over 20%, ensuring better profitability and  consistently happy customers.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  level countertop surface for the unit to sit on securely.
  • Ensure there's a few inches of clearance around the sides and  back for ventilation.
  • Always fill the water reservoir to the indicated level *before* you turn the power on.
  • Simply plug the fitted 13 amp plug into a standard wall socket – no electrician required!

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of each day, turn off, unplug, and  allow the water to cool before draining using the front tap.
  • Clean the water tank and  the exterior with a soft cloth and  mild detergent.
  • In hard water areas, descale the unit periodically to prevent limescale build-up.
  • Regularly wipe down the stainless steel pans and  lids to keep them hygienic and  sparkling.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bain Marie

Not sure what to look for? Picking the right food warmer can make a huge difference to your service. Here are a few key things to consider.

Wet Heat vs. Dry Heat

Wet heat (like this model) is best for liquids, sauces, and  delicate foods as it prevents drying out. Dry heat is better suited for things like chips or fried items where you want to maintain crispiness.

Capacity and  Pan Size

Think about what you'll be serving. This 4-pan model is great for variety. Gastronorm (GN) sizing is standard, so you can easily buy extra pans in different configurations to suit your menu.

Power & Placement

A 13-amp plug model offers maximum flexibility as it can be plugged in anywhere. Make sure your chosen location can accommodate the unit's dimensions and  has a socket nearby.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It's tough, resistant to corrosion, non-porous (so it's hygienic), and  relatively easy to keep clean and  polished.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features that make the end-of-day cleanup easier. A front-facing drain tap is a massive time-saver compared to models you have to tip over to empty.

The Easy brand is built on this very principle: delivering straightforward, dependable appliances that get the job done without unnecessary complexity.

It's a workhorse designed to show up every day and  perform, providing peace of mind and  letting you focus on what really matters—your food and  your customers.

How Wet Heat Protects Your Food (and Your Profits)

Ever wondered what 'wet heat' actually means? Think of it like a gentle spa for your food. Instead of placing a heating element directly under the food pans (which is 'dry heat' and  can easily scorch or dry things out), a wet heat bain marie heats a reservoir of water underneath the pans. This creates a cushion of hot water and  steam that envelops the gastronorm pans, transferring heat evenly and  gently.

The analogy is a double boiler you might use at home for melting chocolate. You'd never put chocolate in a pan straight on the hob! The same principle applies here. This gentle heating method is crucial for delicate sauces, gravies, or anything that can 'catch' or lose moisture over time. The result is better quality food for longer, which means less waste and  happier customers – a win-win for any food business.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Carveries: An absolute must for keeping gravy, sauces, and  vegetables perfectly hot for the Sunday roast rush.
  • Local Cafés: Ideal for holding hot breakfast items like baked beans, mushrooms, and  tomatoes for the morning service.
  • Mobile Caterers: Its plug-and-play design and  compact size make it perfect for events, festivals, and  market stalls.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: A great way to offer hot food-to-go options like soups, stews, or hot fillings for rolls.
