Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Ship Inn, a bustling pub in Norwich, needed to streamline its popular weekday lunch buffet. Their old wet heat units were slow to heat up and  a hassle to clean and  refill during a busy service, causing delays and  inconsistent food temperatures.

"The Lincat BM6C has been brilliant. It's ready to go in minutes, holds the temperature steadily all through service, and  the staff love how easy it is to clean down at the end of the day. No more sloshing water about, thank goodness!"

Robert Davies – Head Chef

By switching to the Lincat dry heat model, The Old Ship Inn has seen a 20% reduction in setup time for their lunch service, allowing staff to focus on customers rather than equipment.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  well-ventilated countertop for the unit to sit on.
  • Ensure there's a few inches of clearance around the back and  sides for air circulation.
  • Before first use, give the included gastronorm pans and  lids a good wash with warm, soapy water.
  • Simply plug the 13 amp plug into a standard socket, and  you're ready to turn it on.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel body and  interior with a damp cloth and  mild detergent daily.
  • Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
  • Regularly check that the power cord and  plug are in good condition.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bain Marie

Not sure which hot holding unit is right for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Dry Heat vs. Wet Heat

Dry heat offers rapid warm-up and  no-fuss cleaning. Wet heat provides a gentler, more humid heat, which can be better for very delicate sauces over long periods.

Capacity & Footprint

Consider how many different dishes you need to hold. This 6 x 1/4 GN unit is great for variety. Always measure your counter space before you buy!

Power Supply

A 13 amp plug, like on this model, is the easiest option for most kitchens. More powerful units may need to be 'hardwired' by an electrician, which adds cost and  complexity.

Build Quality

Look for stainless steel construction. It's not only hygienic and  easy to clean, but it's also tough enough to withstand the daily knocks of a commercial kitchen.

What's in the Box?

Check if gastronorm pans and  lids are included. A unit that comes with them, like this one, offers fantastic value and  means you can use it straight away.

Why Dry Heat Makes Your Service Simpler

Ever wondered what the real difference is between a 'dry heat' and  'wet heat' bain marie? Think of it like this: a wet heat unit is like a steam room, using a bath of hot water to gently heat the pans above. It's great, but it means you have to fill it, wait for the water to heat up, and then drain and  clean it afterwards. A dry heat unit, like this Lincat BM6C, is more like a dry sauna. An element directly heats the air around the pans, giving you a more immediate, enveloping warmth. This means it gets up to temperature much faster and  there's absolutely no water to fill, spill, or descale. For fast-paced environments where you just need to plug in and  go, it's a wonderfully simple and  efficient solution.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pub Carveries: Ideal for keeping roast potatoes, vegetables, and  gravy consistently hot and  ready for the Sunday rush.
  • Mobile Event Caterers: Its plug-and-play design and  lack of water make it perfect for quick setup at weddings and  festivals.
  • Busy Takeaways: A fantastic solution for holding curry sauces, mushy peas, or chilli at safe, servable temperatures.
  • School & Office Canteens: Reliably holds baked beans, soups, and  pasta sauces for efficient, high-volume lunch services.
