Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby, Wales needed to upgrade its buffet service to handle the summer tourist influx without compromising on food quality. They replaced their older, unreliable dry heat units with the Inomak MEV67.

"Our old warmers were drying everything out by the end of service. The Inomak's wet heat system has made a massive difference. The food stays fresh and  appetising for hours, and  our customers have noticed. It’s been a fantastic investment for us."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

Since the switch, the bistro has reported a 30% reduction in end-of-service food waste and  significantly improved customer feedback on their buffet selection.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant countertop.
  • Before plugging in, check that the drain tap is securely closed.
  • Fill the well with water to the indicated maximum level mark before switching on the power.
  • Allow the unit to pre-heat to your desired temperature before placing food pans inside.

Keeping It Going

  • Always drain the water at the end of each day once the unit has cooled down.
  • Wipe down the interior and  exterior with a soft cloth and  food-safe stainless steel cleaner.
  • Check the water level periodically during long services and  top up as needed.
  • For hard water areas, use a de-scaler regularly to prevent limescale build-up on the element.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bain Marie

Not sure which bain marie is the perfect match for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Wet Heat vs. Dry Heat

Wet heat models, like this one, are best for liquids, sauces, and  delicate foods. Dry heat is often quicker but can dry out food over time.

Size and  Capacity

Consider your counter space and  typical service volume. This 2x GN 1/1 unit is great for high-demand items or offering a varied selection.

Power Requirements

Always check if you have the right socket. This unit runs on a standard 13 amp plug, making it easy to install in most commercial kitchens.

Sneeze Guards

If the unit will be in a customer-facing area, a sneeze guard is a legal requirement for food hygiene. This model comes with one built-in.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like a drain tap and  removable parts. A stainless steel construction is always a winner for hygiene and  durability.

Why a Wet-Well Bain Marie is Gentler on Your Food

Ever wondered what 'wet-well' actually means? Think of it like a spa day for your food. Instead of blasting it with harsh, dry heat (which can zap moisture and  create a crust), a wet-well bain marie uses a reservoir of hot water. The gastronorm pans sit in this water, which creates a gentle, humid steam that wraps around the food.

It's a bit like using a double boiler to melt chocolate instead of putting it straight in a hot pan. The water acts as a buffer, distributing heat incredibly evenly and  preventing hot spots. This means your sauces stay silky, your vegetables remain tender, and  your food tastes just as good at the end of service as it did at the beginning.

Who Should Buy This?

    Perfect for keeping roast potatoes, vegetables, and  gravies piping hot and  ready for the Sunday rush.

  • Canteens & Contract Caterers

    A reliable choice for school, office, or event catering, ensuring consistent quality for large numbers.
