The Inomak MIV714 is a proper workhorse for any high-volume service.

  • Rock-Solid Performance: The wet heat is incredibly consistent, holding food perfectly for hours.
  • Power Consideration: Needs a 25A hardwired connection, so it's not a simple plug-and-go unit.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare needed to upgrade the main servery in their boardwalk fish and  chip restaurant. Their old bain maries were causing temperature fluctuations, affecting food quality during peak tourist season.

"Since installing the Inomak MIV714, the difference is night and  day. The food holds its temperature and  texture so much better. Customers have commented on how fresh everything looks under the lights, and  our staff find it far easier to keep clean and  stocked."

Michael Edwards – Head of Catering

The consistent, gentle heat from the wet-well system has led to a noticeable reduction in food waste, saving the business money and  improving customer satisfaction during busy periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the unit on a completely level and  stable countertop that can support its weight (118 kg).
  • This unit requires professional installation as it must be hardwired into a dedicated 25 amp electrical supply.
  • Leave a gap of at least 15cm around the unit for proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Before you switch it on for the first time, make sure to fill the well with water to the indicated level.

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of each day, use the drain tap to empty the water from the well before cleaning.
  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and  a food-safe detergent.
  • Regularly check the water level during long services and  top it up as needed to protect the heating element.
  • Clean the glass gantry and  perspex doors with a suitable glass cleaner to keep them sparkling.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bain Marie

Finding the perfect hot holding unit can be tricky. Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the right fit for your business.

Wet Heat vs. Dry Heat

Wet heat models, like this one, use a water bath for gentle, moist heat, which is brilliant for most foods. Dry heat is simpler but can dry food out over time, making it better for things like pastries or fried items.

Check Your Capacity

Think about how many different dishes you'll serve at once. This 4x GN 1/1 unit is great for variety, but smaller cafes might only need a 2 or 3 pan model. Always check the GN (Gastronorm) size.

Countertop or Freestanding?

Countertop models offer great flexibility and  are perfect for fitting into existing serveries. Freestanding units are all-in-one solutions, often with more storage, but require dedicated floor space.

Know Your Power Needs

Always check the power requirements! Many smaller units run off a standard 13A plug, but powerful models like this one need to be professionally hardwired. Check with your electrician first.

Gantry or No Gantry?

A gantry with a sneeze guard and  lights is essential for front-of-house and  self-service buffets. For back-of-house use, a simpler model without a gantry might be all you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'wet well' operation mean?

A: It means the bain marie uses a tank of hot water to gently heat the food pans above it. This provides a very even and  moist heat, preventing food from drying out or burning.

Q: Does this bain marie come with the metal food pans (GN pans)?

A: No, the Gastronorm pans are sold separately. This allows you to choose the depth and  configuration of pans that best suits your menu.

Q: Can I use this unit for holding cold food?

A: No, this is a hot holding unit only. It is designed to keep pre-cooked food warm and  is not refrigerated.

Q: Does this need a special electrical connection?

A: Yes, absolutely. It is a powerful 4370W unit and  requires hardwiring into a 25 amp supply by a qualified electrician. It does not use a standard 13 amp plug.

Q: How do I drain the water?

A: There is an easy-access drain tap located on the unit, which allows you to empty the water well quickly and  safely at the end of service.

Q: What is the purpose of the fan in the cupboard?

A: The fan circulates the warm air inside the heated cupboard, ensuring an even temperature throughout. This is ideal for keeping plates or extra trays of food consistently warm.

Q: Is the stainless steel easy to keep clean?

A: Yes, the high-grade AISI 304 stainless steel is specifically used in catering for its hygienic properties and  is very easy to wipe down and  keep clean.

Q: Are the rear doors removable for cleaning?

A: Yes, the perspex sliding doors are designed to be easily removed, which makes deep cleaning the display area much simpler for staff.

How Fan-Assisted Heating Keeps Everything Ready

Ever noticed how a fan oven at home cooks things more evenly than a conventional one? The fan-assisted heating in this bain marie's lower cupboard works on exactly the same principle. Instead of just relying on a heating element at the bottom, a small fan gently circulates the warm air, getting rid of any pesky cold spots.

This means that every plate you store in there will be perfectly and  evenly warmed, ready for service. It’s also brilliant for holding back-up trays of food, ensuring they stay at a consistent, food-safe temperature from corner to corner. It’s a simple feature that makes a massive difference to the quality and  efficiency of your service.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pub Carveries: Ideal for showcasing and  serving Sunday roasts with all the trimmings, keeping everything perfectly warm.
  • School & Workplace Canteens: A reliable unit for high-traffic lunch services, holding large batches of popular hot meals.
  • Hotel Breakfast Buffets: Perfect for presenting a full English breakfast, from sausages and  bacon to beans and  tomatoes.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: A fantastic way to offer hot food-to-go options like pies, pasties, and  cooked meats.
