Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Anchor & Chain," a bustling seaside pub in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed to upgrade its carvery station. Their old dry heat unit was causing significant food waste by drying out vegetables and  sauces before the end of the busy Sunday lunch service.

"Since we switched to the Inomak wet-well bain marie, the quality of our carvery offering has improved dramatically. The food stays fresh and  moist for the entire service, and  our customers have definitely noticed. It’s been fantastic for our reputation and  our bottom line."

Michael Edwards – Head Chef

The pub reported a 25% reduction in food waste on Sundays and  received consistently higher ratings for its carvery service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Place the unit on a flat, sturdy, and  level countertop with good ventilation.
  • Ensure it's within reach of a standard 13 amp socket; avoid using extension cords.
  • Before switching on, fill the water well to the indicated level with clean water.
  • Remember to remove the protective perspex sliding doors at the rear before operating.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.
  • Drain the water well after every single use to maintain hygiene.
  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces and  the glass gantry with a soft, damp cloth and  food-safe cleaner.
  • Regularly check the water level during long periods of use and  top up as needed.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bain Marie

Feeling a bit stuck on which bain marie is the best fit for your needs? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Wet Heat vs. Dry Heat

Wet heat is perfect for delicate foods like sauces, curries, and  vegetables as it keeps them moist. Dry heat is better for crispy items like chips or fried chicken.

GN Capacity

Consider your menu. How many different dishes do you need to hold at once? This model holds two full 1/1 gastronorm pans, ideal for a varied selection.

Countertop or Freestanding?

Countertop models like this one are great for saving floor space and  are perfect for front-of-house displays or smaller kitchens. Freestanding units offer higher capacity.

Display and  Lighting

If the unit will be customer-facing, a glass gantry and  good lighting are essential to protect food and  present it in the most appetising way possible.

Power Requirements

Always check that your kitchen has the right power supply. This unit uses a standard 13 amp plug, which is common in most UK commercial settings.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like a drainage tap and  high-quality stainless steel. They might seem like small details, but they save a huge amount of time at the end of a long day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a 'wet-well' bain marie?

A: It uses a bath of hot water to gently heat the food pans from below. This method prevents food from drying out, making it ideal for sauces, gravies, and  casseroles.

Q: Do the gastronorm (GN) pans come with the unit?

A: No, the GN pans are sold separately. This allows you to choose the depth and  configuration (e.g., half pans, third pans) that best suits your menu.

Q: Can I use this unit without water (as a dry heat bain marie)?

A: No, this is a dedicated wet-well unit. Operating it without water will damage the heating elements and  is not recommended.

Q: What is the maximum temperature it can reach?

A: The Inomak MBV67 can heat the water up to 90°C, providing a safe and  consistent holding temperature for your hot food.

Q: How do I clean it?

A: Once cool, drain the water, and  wipe the well and  all surfaces with a soft cloth and  a food-safe stainless steel cleaner. It's designed for easy cleaning.

Q: What are the perspex sliding doors for?

A: They are for protecting the display area when the unit is not in use or during transport. They must be removed when the unit is switched on and  heating.

Q: Is this commercial countertop bain marie heavy?

A: Yes, it weighs 54kg. It's a robust unit, so we recommend two people lift it into position safely.

Q: What happens if the water runs low during service?

A: This model includes a brilliant safety feature that protects the heater from damage if the water level drops too low, preventing burnout.

Why 'Wet-Well' Heat Is Your Secret Weapon for Quality

Ever wondered what 'wet-well operation' actually means? Think of it like this: a dry heat bain marie is like a hot oven, which can bake and  dry out food over time. A wet-well system, like the one in this Inomak MBV67, is more like a gentle steam bath. It uses a reservoir of hot water underneath the food pans to create a humid environment. This moist heat transfers evenly and  gently, keeping sauces silky, vegetables vibrant, and  meat succulent for hours. It’s the professional’s choice for maintaining food quality, not just temperature.

    Perfect for keeping Sunday roast essentials like gravy, roast potatoes, and  vegetables consistently hot and  ready for service.
