KELOO Countertop Bain Marie 1/1 GN 1.2kW - Wet Well Food Warmer - BM-1/1

One full-size pan, held hot and even. A wet well bain marie surrounds the pan with heated water rather than heating it directly, which is why sauces, curries and gravies hold for hours without catching, drying or forming a skin.

The BM-1/1 takes a single 1/1 gastronorm pan at 150mm deep - the standard full-size pan - on a 540mm countertop footprint.

Key features

• Takes 1 x 1/1 GN pan, 150mm deep - the standard full-size pan, so it fits the pans you already own
• Wet well heating - indirect heat through water, so nothing catches on the base
• 540 x 340 x 250mm (W x D x H) - a compact countertop footprint on a service counter or pass
• 1.2kW on a standard 13A supply - plugs into an ordinary socket
• 500 x 300 x 150mm well - full working depth for a properly loaded pan
• Adjustable thermostat - set it to hold above 63°C and leave it
• 201-grade stainless steel - easy to clean, easy to sanitise

Specification

Typical uses

Curry house and takeaway counters, carvery and buffet lines, café hot food service, canteens and staff restaurants, event catering, and holding sauces or gravy on a restaurant pass.

Choosing your configuration

This range runs 1 x 1/1 pan (BM-1/1), 2 x 1/2 pans (BM-1/2) and 3 x 1/3 pans (BM-1/3) - all 150mm deep and all on roughly the same footprint. Choose by how many dishes you serve, not by volume: the total well capacity is similar across all three. One full-size pan holds the most of a single dish; three 1/3 pans let you offer three.

Good to know

Always fill the well with water before switching on - running a wet well dry damages the element and is the most common cause of failure. This is holding equipment, not cooking equipment: bring food up to temperature first, then transfer it in. UK food safety guidance is to hold hot food at 63°C or above; check with a probe rather than relying on the dial. Gastronorm pans and lids are sold separately.
