Product Overview

Here’s a brilliant bit of kit for any caterer who works on the move or away from a mains power supply. The Modena GBM63G is a robust and  reliable countertop commercial gas bain marie, designed to keep your pre-cooked food perfectly hot and  ready to serve. Running solely on LPG bottled gas, it offers fantastic flexibility for food trucks, market stalls, and  outdoor event catering where electricity is a luxury you just don't have.

It uses a gentle wet heat system to keep everything from gravy and  curry to vegetables and  pulled pork at a consistent, food-safe temperature without drying out. With space for three GN 1/3 pans, you can offer a decent variety to your customers from one compact unit.

It’s the simple, effective solution you’ve been looking for.

Expert Review and  Insights

The Modena GBM63G is a real workhorse. It doesn't have a lot of bells and  whistles, but what it does, it does exceptionally well. For mobile caterers or businesses needing a backup holding solution, its LPG-only design is a massive plus, offering true operational independence. It’s a solid, no-nonsense piece of equipment built for reliability under pressure.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The piezo ignition is a fantastic touch for outdoor use, especially in windy conditions.
  • Con: Being LPG-only, it lacks the flexibility for kitchens that only have mains gas or electricity.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"Sussex Street Food Sensations," a popular pop-up based in Brighton, needed a more reliable way to serve hot dishes during the busy summer festival season. Their previous electric units were cumbersome and  dependent on noisy, unreliable generators.

"The Modena gas bain marie has been brilliant. It's incredibly simple to use, heats up quickly, and  the wet heat keeps our pulled pork perfect for hours. We can set up our stall anywhere now, which has opened up new event opportunities for us. It’s just so dependable."

Tom Wilson – Owner

The move to an LPG bain marie food warmer allowed them to operate more efficiently, reducing setup time by 20% and  eliminating generator hire costs completely.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always place the unit on a stable, level, and  heat-resistant countertop.
  • Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, as per UK gas safety regulations.
  • Connection to the LPG bottle must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
  • Before ignition, fill the water well to the indicated level mark using the front-mounted tap. Never heat the unit when empty.

Keeping It Going

  • After each use, allow the unit to cool completely before draining the water.
  • Remove and  wash the Gastronorm pans separately with warm, soapy water.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel body and  the water well daily with a soft cloth and  food-safe cleaner.
  • Regularly inspect the gas hose for any signs of cracking or wear and  tear, and  have it checked annually by a professional.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bain Marie

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

Wet Heat vs. Dry Heat

Wet heat units, like this one, are best for liquids, sauces, and  delicate foods as they prevent drying out. Dry heat is better for crispy items like pastries or fried foods.

Gas vs. Electric

Gas offers portability and  is great for mobile or outdoor use where power is an issue. Electric is often more convenient for permanent indoor kitchens with easy access to sockets.

GN Capacity

Consider what you'll be serving. A 3 x GN 1/3 capacity is versatile for sides and  sauces. For mains, you might need a larger unit that can hold bigger GN 1/1 or 1/2 pans.

Countertop vs. Freestanding

Countertop models save space and  are ideal for smaller kitchens or mobile setups. Freestanding units offer much higher capacity and  are better suited to large-scale buffets and  canteens.

Build Quality

Look for stainless steel construction. It’s not only durable and  resistant to rust, but it's also non-porous and  incredibly easy to keep hygienically clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of gas does this bain marie use?

A: This unit is designed to be used exclusively with LPG bottled gas, such as propane. It cannot be connected to a mains gas supply.

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

A: No, the GN pans are sold separately. This unit is designed to hold three GN 1/3 pans, but you can configure it with other sizes that fit the same total space.

Q: Can I use this bain marie for cooking food from raw?

A: No, this is a hot holding unit, not a cooker. It is designed to keep pre-cooked food at a safe and  consistent serving temperature.

Q: How do I light the bain marie?

A: The unit features a simple and  safe piezo ignition. You just need to turn the gas dial to the pilot position, push it in, and  press the ignition button until the pilot flame is lit.

Q: Can I use this indoors?

A: Yes, but as with any gas appliance, it must be installed in a well-ventilated area by a qualified Gas Safe engineer to comply with all safety regulations.

Q: What does 'wet heat' mean?

A: Wet heat means the unit uses a bath of hot water to gently heat the food pans above it. This prevents food from drying out and  is ideal for sauces, gravies, and  curries.

Q: How easy is it to drain the water?

A: Very easy. It has a convenient tap on the front, allowing you to drain the water well directly into a suitable container once it has cooled.

Q: What is the temperature range?

A: This model has a temperature range of 30°C to 110°C, controlled via a simple dial with two main heat settings.

What Customers Are Saying

Ben Carter – The Burger Van, Manchester

"Great for our Sunday carvery extras out on the patio. Keeps the gravy and  sauces at the perfect temperature. The water tap is a very handy feature."

Maria Evans – The Plough Inn, York

"A good, sturdy countertop gas bain marie. My only slight niggle is that the temperature dial only has two settings, but it holds well on both."

Sunil Kumar – Curry Corner Stall, Bristol

How Wet Heat Protects Your Food's Quality

Ever wonder what 'wet heat' actually means? Think of it like a spa day for your food. Instead of blasting your dishes with harsh, direct heat (which can dry them out or even scorch the bottom), a wet heat bain marie uses a reservoir of hot water. This water creates a gentle cloud of steam that envelops the food pans, warming them evenly and  consistently. It's the same principle as a chef's double boiler for melting chocolate without burning it. The result is that your sauces stay silky, your chilli stays moist, and  your vegetables keep their texture for far longer, ensuring the last customer gets a meal that's just as delicious as the first.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: An essential for keeping food hot on the go, without relying on a generator or power hook-up.
  • Outdoor Event & Market Stalls: Perfect for serving hot food at festivals, markets, and  fairs where power is non-existent.
  • Pubs & Restaurants: A great addition for outdoor barbecue areas, temporary carvery stations, or function catering.
  • Takeaway Shops: Ideal for holding sauces, curries, and  other hot toppings during busy service periods.
