The Lincat BM6 is an electric dry heat bain marie designed to hold pre-cooked food — sauces, soups, gravies and similar items — at safe serving temperatures throughout service. Rather than using a water bath, it generates heat from a dry base, which keeps the unit simpler to operate and removes the risk of water spillage when moving or repositioning it on the counter.

In a working kitchen, the BM6 suits operations where food is prepared ahead of service and needs to be held consistently through a busy period. The adjustable heat control allows staff to set an appropriate temperature for different food types, which is useful when holding items with varying requirements at the same time. Recovery after lids are lifted during service is reasonably prompt, helping to maintain safe temperatures without constant attention from the pass.

The dry heat design offers a number of practical day-to-day advantages:

  • No water to fill, monitor or drain — reduces set-up and clean-down time
  • Lighter and more portable than a comparable wet well unit
  • Generally draws less energy than wet well alternatives
  • Adjustable temperature control for different food types held side by side
  • Compatible with GN pans — available with pan and lid bundles to suit your service layout

The BM6 is available as a base unit or as a bundle with a selection of GN pans and lids. Choosing the right pan configuration at the outset avoids compatibility issues later, so it is worth considering your counter layout and menu range before ordering.

This unit is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants and catering vans — where a compact, straightforward holding solution is needed without the complexity of a wet well. For higher-volume sites running extended service periods or a wider range of held dishes, a larger or wet well model may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether dry heat holding suits your menu or service style, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.

Frequently asked questions

Is dry heat bain marie holding suitable for all types of food?

Dry heat holding works well for sauces, soups, gravies and similar high-moisture dishes that retain heat effectively. It is less suited to foods that can dry out or scorch with direct base heat, where a wet well unit would offer a more gentle and even hold. If you are unsure whether your menu is compatible, it is worth discussing before ordering.

What GN pans does the BM6 accept, and do I need to buy them separately?

The BM6 is designed to accept standard GN pans, and it is available either as a base unit or as a bundle with pans and lids included. Confirming your pan configuration at the time of ordering avoids compatibility issues and ensures you are set up correctly from day one.

How does the BM6 cope with a busy service period in a small kitchen?

For smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens and similar — the BM6 performs reliably across a standard service period provided food is pre-heated before being transferred to the unit, as bain maries are designed to hold rather than heat from cold. For kitchens running longer service windows or a wider range of held dishes, a higher-capacity unit may be more appropriate.
