Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Pie Hole', a bustling eatery in York, needed to replace their old, inefficient bain marie that was causing their pie fillings to dry out during the lunchtime peak.

"The Lincat BM6CW bain marie has been a superb addition. Our fillings stay moist and  at a perfect, safe temperature all day. The front tap has also cut our cleaning time in half, which the staff are thrilled about. It's just a solid, dependable piece of equipment."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

Since the switch, the eatery has reduced its food wastage from dried-out fillings by an estimated 25%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the bain marie is placed on a flat, stable, and  level countertop.
  • Before plugging in and  switching on, fill the water reservoir to the indicated 'max' level.
  • Never, ever turn the unit on when it is empty, as this can damage the heating element.
  • Arrange your gastronorm pans, and  you're ready to pre-heat for service.

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of each day, turn off the unit and  allow the water to cool slightly before draining.
  • Use the front-facing tap to drain the water into a suitable container.
  • Wipe the interior and  exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and  a food-safe detergent.
  • In hard water areas, regularly descale the unit according to manufacturer instructions to maintain performance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bain Marie

Finding the perfect fit for your service? Here are a few things to consider when choosing a bain marie.

Wet Heat vs. Dry Heat

Wet heat models, like this one, are best for delicate liquids and  sauces as they prevent drying out. Dry heat is faster to warm up but can be harsher on food.

Capacity & Footprint

Consider how many different dishes you need to hold at once. This 6 x 1/4GN unit is great for variety. Also, measure your counter space carefully!

Drainage System

A front drainage tap is a huge time-saver and  makes cleaning much safer and  easier than manually tipping to empty the unit.

Power Requirements

Check if you need a standard 13 amp plug-in model or a more powerful one that needs to be hardwired by an electrician. Plug-and-go is always easiest!

Build Quality

Look for stainless steel construction. It's not only durable and  resistant to rust, but it's also the easiest surface to keep hygienically clean.

Why a 'Wet Heat' System Protects Your Food

Ever wondered what 'wet heat' actually means? Think of it like a gentle spa bath for your food. Instead of a harsh, direct heating element underneath the pans (known as 'dry heat'), a wet heat bain marie uses a reservoir of hot water. The element heats the water, and  the steam and  gentle heat from that water keep the food in the pans above it warm.

The best analogy is a 'bain-marie' you might use at home to melt chocolate over a pan of simmering water. You do it that way because it stops the chocolate from burning or splitting. It's the exact same principle here. This Silverlink 600 wet heat bain marie provides a kinder, more humid heat that's perfect for delicate sauces, gravies, custards, or anything that's prone to drying out or catching on the bottom of the pan. It’s the professional's choice for better food quality over longer periods.
