Lincat BS7 Dry Heat Bain Marie with Round Pots

The Lincat BS7 is a countertop dry heat bain marie supplied with six stainless steel round pots. Rather than using a water-filled well, it relies on radiant heat to hold food at serving temperature throughout a service period. It is well suited to holding sauces, gravies, soups and pre-cooked toppings where a compact, practical solution is needed at the point of service.

In busy service conditions, the absence of a water well is a genuine operational advantage. There is no water level to monitor, no risk of spillage when repositioning the unit, and no well to drain and dry at the end of a shift. The adjustable heat control allows operators to moderate temperature across different food types, which is useful when holding items with varying heat tolerances over extended periods.

From a day-to-day standpoint, the BS7 offers several practical advantages:

• No water to fill, monitor or drain — simpler to manage during service
• Six individual pots allow multiple food types to be held simultaneously
• Removable pots make cleaning between services more straightforward
• Easier to reposition on a counter or servery without spillage risk
• Lower energy draw compared with heating a water-filled wet well equivalent

The BS7 runs on a standard electrical supply and is designed for countertop servery use. It requires adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation. It is not intended for high-throughput production environments. Operations that need to hold a larger number of food types at once, or require greater total capacity, should consider whether a larger unit or a wet well alternative would better suit their service volumes.

The BS7 is commonly found in pub kitchens, hotel serveries, restaurants and catering operations where a reliable, no-fuss holding unit is needed close to the pass. Lincat has a long-established track record in commercial food holding equipment in the UK.
