LPG Bain Marie
For Mobile Catering
|
A LPG Bain Marie comprises of 1, 2, and 3+ separate gastronorm pans (compartments) which sits in a water filled tank, which is then heated up to the desired temperature. What ever food is placed in these compartments will also heat up to the required temperature via a thermostat. The idea is to keep cooked food hot and at a temperature which keeps bacteria at bay, or above 63° |

With a Bain Marie you have the option to cook a larger amount of food say 10-20 burgers, sausages, and eggs and keep them warm by placing them in the Bain Marie. When your customers turn up for some food it’s hot and ready to serve, no need to reheat.
Bain Marie Maintenance
This piece of equipment is very straightforward and easy to maintain when finished using each gastronorm pan at the end of the day, simply wash out thoroughly; dry and you’re done.

Finally if you are mobile with your unit and driving to your location, you will have to empty some of the water from the Bain Marie otherwise it’s liable to spill out and onto the floor.
