Bain Marie

Unlock the culinary possibilities with our versatile bain marie collection, the ultimate tool for precise and gentle heating in any commercial kitchen.

A commercial bain marie, also known as a water bath or double boiler, is a cooking tool that is used in commercial kitchens to heat food gently and evenly. It is essentially a pot or container that holds hot water, into which another container, typically made of stainless steel or glass, is placed. The food to be cooked is placed in the inner container, and the bain marie is then placed on a stove or in an oven to cook.

A great addition to any commercial kitchen, a bain marie can bring many benefits to your cooking and food preparation.

• Firstly, it can be used to cook delicate dishes such as custards, sauces, and chocolate, which require a consistent and gentle heat source to prevent curdling or separation. -Secondly, the bain marie can be used to keep the cooked food warm without over cooking or drying it out.
• Thirdly, it can be used to cook multiple dishes at once, increasing the kitchen's efficiency and productivity.
• Lastly, the bain marie is easy to clean and maintain, which can save time and resources for your restaurant.

There are two types of bain maries: wet heat and dry heat. Wet heat bain maries use hot water to heat the food, and are typically used for delicate dishes such as custards, sauces, and chocolate. The water bath helps to evenly distribute the heat and prevent overheating, which can cause curdling or separation.

Dry heat bain maries, on the other hand, use heated air to cook the food. These are typically used for dishes that require a crispy exterior, such as pastries and fried foods. The dry heat helps to create a crispy crust on the outside while keeping the inside moist and tender.

We offer both dry and wet hear bain maries and it’s important to understand their differences.

Some benefits of a dry heat bain marie include

• A greater efficiency, as you will not need to waste energy maintaining the temperature of hot water
• It’s safer to operate, as it’s less likely you’re burned by the hot water
• It heats up quicker because the food is directedly heated by a heating element, rather than via the hot water
• It’s easier to operate

The wet heat bain marie has its advantages in other areas:

• It provides a more gradual and gentler heating, reducing the odds of over-cooking and burning
• It heats the food more evenly
• The steam from the hot water can help maintain the moisture of food
