Setting up

Set it on a level bench, fit the glass cover with the parts supplied, fill the bath to the water-level mark inside, and turn the dial. Let it come up to temperature before loading hot food. Never pour cold water in while the element is hot.

Six pans, one temperature, all service.

A wet-bath warmer that holds a whole lunch menu at serving heat under glass, on a bench, from one power point.

The bath does the work. A 1500 W element sits under the water, the water sits under the pans, and the food never touches a dry heat that would crust a sauce or dry out rice. Set the dial anywhere from 30 to 85 °C and it holds there. Six 1/3 size pans, each 150 mm deep, go in the top, and you can combine or swap them as the menu changes.

The glass cover is the part people notice. It keeps breath and hands off the food, shows a customer what is in every pan, and comes off when you need to strip the unit for a wash.

Goes with.

What this usually leaves the warehouse with.

Wet heat, not dry heat.

A bath of hot water holds food the way a low oven cannot. Sauces stay glossy, curries do not catch on the bottom, rice does not dry into a crust. The U-shaped element spreads heat across the bath so the pans warm evenly, and the dial holds the water where you set it from the first hour to the last.

  • 1500 W element the length of the bath
  • 30 to 85 °C, set on one dial
  • Water-level mark inside for topping up

Under glass.

The clear cover sits over the pans so customers see everything and nobody breathes on it. It is glass, not acrylic, so it stands up to scratches and does not go cloudy after a season of wiping, and it comes off with its fittings when the unit goes to the sink.

  • Glass cover, fittings included
  • Customer-side view, scratch resistant
  • Lifts off for cleaning

Built for a menu, not a dish.

Six 1/3 pans is a lunch counter: two curries, a dal, rice, a vegetable, a sauce. The pans can be combined or swapped as the menu changes. The bath drains from the valve at close, and the water-level mark inside shows when to top up during service.

  • Two ladles included

Questions we get asked

Does it cook food or just hold it?

It holds. The bath tops out at 85 °C, which keeps cooked food well above the safe holding temperature without cooking it further. Bring food up to temperature on the stove first, then transfer it.

What happens if the water runs dry?

A cut-out stops the element when the bath goes past 120 °C. Refill with warm water, press the reset button on the unit, and it restarts. Do not pour cold water into a hot, empty bath; it can crack the element.

Will other pan sizes fit?

It comes with six 1/3 size pans that fit the 150 mm deep wells, and they can be combined or swapped between wells. Other pan sizes are not listed by the maker, so ask us before buying pans for it.

How do I drain it at the end of the day?

Open the drain valve into a bucket or a floor drain once the water has cooled a little. The bath then wipes out, and the stainless pans wash like any other.

How much power does it draw?

1500 W. Give it its own power point during service rather than sharing a board with a second warmer or a kettle.
