When it comes to dependable servery kit, Lincat is a name we trust implicitly. The BM6B is a classic example of their 'does what it says on the tin' philosophy.

  • Pro: The rapid heat-up time is fantastic for last-minute prep.
  • Con: Dry heat can dry some delicate sauces if left unattended.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The King's Head, a busy village pub in the Cotswolds, needed to streamline their popular Sunday carvery service. Their old wet heat bain marie was slow to heat up and  a real chore to drain and  clean every evening, costing valuable staff time.

"The Lincat BM6B has been a fantastic addition. It's ready to go in minutes, holds everything at a consistent heat, and  our pot wash absolutely loves how easy it is to clean at the end of a long Sunday. It just works, every single time."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

By switching to the dry heat Lincat, the team cut their end-of-service cleaning routine by a solid 15 minutes and  eliminated daily water-related maintenance.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant countertop for the unit.
  • Ensure there's a few inches of space around the unit for proper air circulation.
  • Before first use, wash the supplied gastronorm pans and  lids in warm, soapy water.
  • Simply plug it into a standard 13A socket and  allow it to pre-heat for 10-15 minutes.

Keeping It Going

  • Always switch off and  unplug the unit before cleaning, and  allow it to cool down completely.
  • Wipe the main body and  interior with a damp, soft cloth and  a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads.
  • The stainless steel pans and  lids are easy to clean in a pot wash or commercial dishwasher.
  • Regularly check the plug and  power cord for any signs of wear or damage.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bain Marie

Not sure which bain marie is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to think about.

Dry Heat vs. Wet Heat

Dry heat is faster and  lower maintenance, great for general use. Wet heat is gentler, better for delicate sauces like hollandaise that might split.

Size & Capacity

Consider how many different dishes you'll need to hold at once. This model's mix of 1/2 and  1/4 pans offers good flexibility for mains and  sides.

Power Supply

Is it a simple plug-and-go model like this one (13A), or does it need hardwiring? Always check your kitchen's power availability.

Gastronorm Compatibility

Most bain maries use standard 'GN' pans. Check if the unit comes with them included, as this can save you a fair bit of initial cost.

Footprint

A countertop bain marie saves floor space but uses up valuable work surface. Make sure you've measured the spot where it's going to live!

Why Dry Heat Makes Your Service Simpler

Ever wondered what 'dry heat' actually means for a bain marie? It’s one of those terms that can sound a bit technical, but the idea is beautifully simple. Unlike a 'wet heat' model that uses a reservoir of hot water to gently warm the pans above (like a big double boiler), a dry heat unit uses an element to heat the air around the pans directly.

Think of it like this: a wet heat bain marie is like a hot bath – it takes a while to fill and  get up to temperature. A dry heat bain marie is more like a fan heater – you switch it on, and  it gets warm almost instantly. This means a much faster start to your service and, crucially, no water to fill up, monitor, or drain and  descale at the end of the day. For speed and  convenience, it's a clear winner.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Carveries: Ideal for keeping roast potatoes, vegetables, and  gravy perfectly warm for Sunday service.
  • Event & Mobile Caterers: Lightweight and  portable, it’s a brilliant choice for pop-ups, weddings, and  food stalls.
  • School & Office Canteens: Reliably holds large batches of pasta, curry, and  beans for a busy lunch rush.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Perfect for offering hot takeaway meals like stews, soups, or chilli throughout the day.
