The Lincat BM7 is a countertop dry heat bain marie designed to hold prepared dishes at consistent serving temperatures throughout service. Instead of a water bath, it uses radiant heat applied directly beneath the gastronorm pans — a simpler arrangement that removes the need to fill, monitor, and empty a wet well at the start and end of every service.

In practical use, the dry heat format performs reliably with moisture-retentive foods: soups, gravies, sauces, stews, and braised dishes hold steadily across a typical service without significant drying out. The adjustable heat control lets operators set a stable temperature appropriate to the dish in each pan position, which is useful when different items are running side by side. Pan swaps mid-service cause minimal disruption, with the unit returning to holding temperature promptly.

The dry well configuration offers some day-to-day handling advantages over a wet well unit:

  • No water to fill, monitor, or drain — saves time at both ends of service
  • Easier to reposition on the counter without spillage risk
  • Generally lower energy consumption than a comparable wet well model
  • Clean-down after service is straightforward with no wet well residue
  • Compatible with standard gastronorm pan configurations

The BM7 is an electric countertop unit and simply requires a suitable power supply at the installation point. It is supplied as a base unit without gastronorm pans — pan packs are available separately if you need a complete setup from the outset. It is worth confirming your pan configuration before ordering, as requirements vary depending on service style.

This unit is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, carveries, and catering operations that need a dependable countertop holding solution for a moderate range of dishes during service. For operations holding a larger number of dishes simultaneously, or where extended holding periods are the norm, a higher-capacity or wet well alternative may be a better fit for the service volume.

If you are weighing up dry versus wet heat holding for your menu, or want to talk through which pan configuration suits your service style, our team is glad to help you work through it before you order.

Frequently asked questions

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

Dry heat holding works best with foods that retain their own moisture during service — soups, gravies, sauces, stews, and braised dishes all hold well. Foods with low natural moisture content, such as roasted meats or fried items, can dry out over time in a dry well unit, so for those applications a wet well model or separate holding solution may be more appropriate.

Does the BM7 come with gastronorm pans included?

The BM7 is supplied as a base unit without gastronorm pans. Pan packs are available separately, and it is worth deciding on your pan configuration before ordering — the number and size of pans you need will depend on how many dishes you are holding simultaneously during service.

What installation does the Lincat BM7 require?

The BM7 is an electric countertop unit with no water supply or drainage connections needed, which keeps installation straightforward. You will need a suitable power supply at the countertop location, and as with any holding equipment positioned on a pass or servery, it is worth confirming there is adequate ventilation around the unit during use.
