The Lincat BS7 is the epitome of 'does what it says on the tin,' and  does it brilliantly. Lincat has a rock-solid reputation for a reason, and  this unit is a testament to that. The dry heat system is a massive plus for any fast-paced kitchen – it’s just simpler and  cleaner. It’s a robust, no-nonsense piece of equipment that won’t let you down mid-service.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Pros: The heat distribution is impressively even for a dry heat unit, preventing hotspots.
  • Cons: Lacks a drain tap, but as a dry heat model, it's not strictly necessary.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Drover's Arms, a busy pub in the heart of the Peak District, needed to streamline their popular carvery service. Their old wet bain marie was inconsistent and  created a lot of end-of-day cleaning hassle for the team.

"The Lincat BS7 has been a fantastic addition. The dry heat is so consistent, our sauces are never too hot or too cool, and  the team loves how easy it is to clean. It's just a solid, reliable piece of kit that makes a busy Sunday service run that much smoother."

David Chen – Head Chef

Since installation, the pub has reduced its end-of-shift cleanup time for the servery area by 20 minutes daily.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant countertop for the unit.
  • Ensure there's a little space around the bain marie for ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Before first use, wash the included pots and  lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
  • Simply plug into a standard 13-amp socket – no electrician required!

Keeping It Going

  • After each service, allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.
  • Wipe down the main stainless steel body with a damp cloth and  mild detergent.
  • The round pots and  lids are stainless steel and  can be washed in a commercial dishwasher or by hand.
  • Avoid using harsh scourers or abrasive chemicals which can damage the finish.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Bain Marie Electric Unit

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few things to consider when choosing a commercial bain marie electric unit for your business.

Wet vs. Dry Heat

Dry heat (like this Lincat BS7) is great for simplicity and  low maintenance, perfect for sauces and  gravy. Wet heat uses steam, which can be better for delicate items that might dry out, but requires more attention.

Capacity & Footprint

Think about how many dishes you need to hold simultaneously. This 6-pot model is versatile, but ensure you have the 750mm of counter space to accommodate it.

Power Up

Check your power supply. Most countertop units like this one use a standard 13-amp plug, making them easy to place. Larger units might need hardwiring.

Pot Style

This model uses deep round pots, fantastic for liquids like soups and  sauces. Others use rectangular Gastronorm pans, which are better for things like lasagne or pies.

Build Quality

Always opt for stainless steel. It’s the industry standard for a reason: it’s tough, hygienic, and  can withstand the knocks and  spills of a commercial kitchen.

A: Yes, it comes complete with six 4.5-litre stainless steel round pots and  their matching lids.

Why Dry Heat Operation is a Kitchen Hero

Ever wondered what 'dry heat' actually means for a bain marie? In short, it's all about simplicity. Unlike traditional 'wet heat' models that use a reservoir of hot water to keep food warm, a dry heat unit uses a heating element directly under the pots. Think of it like a specialised, gentle hot plate designed for long-term holding. There's no water to fill, no steam clouding up your servery, and  no risk of running dry and  damaging the element. It's a 'set and  forget' system, providing consistent, radiant heat without the constant monitoring and  messy cleanup associated with water-based units.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Carveries: Ideal for keeping multiple gravies, sauces, and  vegetable portions perfectly hot for Sunday service.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: Its simple plug-and-play setup makes it perfect for pop-ups, food stalls, and  events.
  • Takeaways & Sandwich Shops: A great solution for holding hot fillings like curry sauce, chilli, or pulled pork.
  • Canteens & Buffets: Reliably holds soups, baked beans, and  other hot options for self-service environments.
