Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Rock-Solid Build: The stainless steel body feels robust and  ready for daily service.
  • Single-Task Focus: Ideal for one key sauce, but less flexible for multiple options.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Courtyard Café" in Shrewsbury found they were constantly using a valuable hob ring just to keep their soup of the day at temperature. They needed a dedicated, compact solution that wouldn't clutter their small kitchen.

"We used to struggle keeping our soup consistently hot without it catching on the bottom of the pan. The Lincat LRB is brilliant – we just switch it on and  it works, no fuss. Our customers get perfect, hot soup every single time."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

The move freed up an entire hob ring for cooking, increasing kitchen workflow efficiency during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant countertop for the unit.
  • Make sure to leave a few inches of space around the sides and  back for good air circulation.
  • Simply plug the fitted 13 amp plug into a standard wall socket – no special wiring needed.
  • Before you get started, give the included stainless steel pot and  lid a quick wash with warm, soapy water.

Keeping It Going

  • Always switch off, unplug, and  allow the unit to cool down completely before you attempt to clean it.
  • The round pot and  lid are fully removable, making them easy to wash in the sink.
  • Wipe down the main stainless steel body with a damp cloth and  a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh or abrasive scourers.
  • Periodically check the power cord and  plug for any signs of damage or wear and  tear.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bain Marie

Not sure which bain marie is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider to help you make the perfect choice.

Wet Heat vs. Dry Heat

Dry heat, like in this Lincat LRB bain marie, is simpler and  lower maintenance, perfect for sauces and  gravy. Wet heat uses hot water for a gentler heat, which can be better for very delicate items like custard or pâté.

Size and  Capacity

Think about your counter space and  typical service volume. A single pot unit is ideal for one key item, while larger units can hold multiple dishes. Always measure your space first!

Power Requirements

Most countertop models are 'plug and  play' with a standard 13 amp plug. Larger, more powerful units might need to be hardwired by a qualified electrician, so always check the spec sheet.

Pot & Pan Style

If you already use standard gastronorm pans, check if a bain marie is compatible. This model uses its own dedicated round pot, which is fantastic for liquids and  easy stirring.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for high-quality stainless steel construction and  removable pots. These features make the end-of-day cleanup much quicker and  help you maintain brilliant hygiene standards.

Why 'Dry Heat' Makes Your Life Easier

Ever wondered what 'dry heat' actually means for a bain marie? It’s wonderfully simple. Instead of heating a big bath of water that then heats your food pot, this unit heats the pot directly – think of it like a gentle, controllable electric hob. The big advantage is that there's no water to monitor, top up, or spill during a frantic service. You avoid the risk of the unit boiling dry and  potentially getting damaged. It also means less steam in the kitchen and  significantly less limescale to scrub away, making the end-of-day clean-up much, much quicker. It's the low-maintenance choice for keeping things like gravy, sauces, and  soups perfectly hot with minimum fuss.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Village Pubs & Carveries

    Keeping that signature gravy or bread sauce perfectly hot and  ready for the Sunday rush.

  • Mobile Catering Vans

    A compact, reliable unit for serving hot sauces, chilli, or nacho cheese at events.

  • School Canteens & Cafeterias

    Perfect for holding portions of beans, soup, or custard during a busy lunch service.

  • Small Cafés & Bistros
