Lincat BS7W Wet Heat Bain Marie with Round Pots

The Lincat BS7W is a wet heat bain marie supplied with six stainless steel round pots, designed to hold sauces, soups, gravies, vegetables and pre-cooked foods at safe serving temperatures during service. Wet heat operation means the unit uses moisture to surround the pots with gentle, even warmth rather than relying on dry radiant heat alone.

In a working kitchen environment, the wet heat method performs well for liquid-based or moisture-sensitive foods. The gentle, humid heat helps prevent sauces and soups from forming a skin or drying around the edges, which is a common problem with dry well units running over a long service period. Recovery after food is added or stirred is reasonably prompt, making it a practical choice for busy lunch or dinner services where pots need to stay consistently warm without constant attention.

From an operational standpoint, the BS7W offers several day-to-day advantages:

• Adjustable heat control allows temperature to be set to suit different food types
• Six round pots give good variety across a service counter or hot pass
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean down between services
• Wet heat reduces the risk of food drying out or crusting during extended holds
• Compact design suits smaller serveries, carveries and buffet-style operations

Installation is straightforward — the unit is electric and requires a suitable power supply at the point of use. It is worth confirming your counter or pass has adequate space and a nearby socket before ordering. Wet heat units do consume slightly more energy than dry well equivalents, so that is worth factoring in for sites running long holding periods throughout the day.

The BS7W is well suited to pub kitchens, hotel carveries, school canteens and café serveries where a modest range of dishes needs to be held at temperature throughout service. For higher-volume operations with larger batch quantities or more serving positions, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering.
