Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Pro: The inclusion of a full set of GN pans is a huge plus.
  • Con: At 30kg, it is quite heavy, so requires two people for safe placement.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Sunday carvery at 'The Pheasant's Rest' in Norwich was legendary, but their old food warmers were drying out the vegetables, leading to waste. They needed a solution that would maintain quality throughout their busiest service.

"Our reputation is built on our Sunday lunch, but keeping everything fresh was a constant battle. This Modena display bain marie maintains the perfect moisture and  heat, so the last plate served is just as good as the first. The customers are happier and  so is our accountant!"

Robert Green – Landlord

The pub reported that food waste from dried-out items during the Sunday service dropped by nearly 40%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always place the unit on a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant countertop with good ventilation.
  • Before switching on, fill the water well to the indicated level. Never operate it dry as this can damage the element.
  • Pop your GN pans in place before you start heating to allow for even temperature distribution.
  • Allow the bain marie to pre-heat for about 15-20 minutes to reach your desired temperature before adding food.

Keeping It Going

  • After every service, switch off and  unplug the unit. Use the drain tap to empty the water safely into a suitable container.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel interior and  exterior with a soft cloth and  mild, food-safe detergent.
  • Remove the GN pans and  lids and  wash them separately in a sink or commercial dishwasher.
  • Periodically check the heating element for any limescale build-up and  descale if necessary to maintain efficiency.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bain Marie

Need a hand choosing? Here’s a quick rundown to help you pick the perfect bain marie for your kitchen.

Wet Heat vs. Dry Heat

Wet heat models like this one use a water bath for gentle, humid heat. This is perfect for liquids, sauces, and  dishes you don't want drying out.

The Gantry Question

A heated gantry doesn't just keep food warm from above, it illuminates it beautifully. This makes your display far more appealing and  can encourage sales.

Consider Your Capacity

Think about your menu's variety. This 6-pot model offers great flexibility for serving multiple dishes without demanding a huge amount of counter space.

Check the Power Supply

A unit with a standard 13 amp plug is the easiest to install. It works in most commercial kitchens without needing a specialist electrician to wire it in.

Drainage is Key

Don't underestimate a drain tap! It transforms a potentially messy, two-person clean-up job into a quick, safe, and  simple task for one person.

How a Wet Heat System Protects Your Food

Ever wonder why some buffet food tastes dry and  tired? It's often because it’s been blasted with harsh, dry heat. The Modena DGBM6 uses a 'wet heat' or 'bain marie' system to avoid this. Think of it like a gentle, hot spa for your food containers. The main well is filled with water, which is then heated. This hot water surrounds the food pans, warming them gently and  evenly. This creates a humid environment that stops things like sauces, gravy, beans, and  curries from drying out, forming a skin, or catching on the bottom. It's the secret to keeping food looking and  tasting freshly made for hours on end.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Carveries: Ideal for keeping roast potatoes, vegetables, and  gravy at the perfect serving temperature for hours.
  • Event & Mobile Caterers: A reliable, plug-and-play solution for setting up impressive hot buffet stations at any venue or event.
  • Takeaway Restaurants: Perfect for displaying hot curries, rice, or noodle dishes for quick, easy, and  appetising service.
  • Workplace & School Canteens: A robust and  high-capacity unit for serving a variety of hot lunch options to a hungry daily crowd.
