Lincat LRB2 Dry Heat Bain Marie with Round Pots
£290.00(£348.00 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Lincat LRB2 is an electric dry heat bain marie supplied with two stainless steel round pots. Rather than using a water bath, the dry well design transfers heat directly from below — functioning in a similar manner to a low oven — to hold pre-cooked foods at safe serving temperatures throughout service. It is a holding unit, not a cooking appliance, and food should always be brought up to temperature before being placed in the pots.
During service, this type of unit earns its place at the pass or on a servery counter, keeping sauces, gravies, soups, and similar dishes ready without constant attention. The adjustable heat control allows operators to dial in an appropriate holding temperature for different food types, which is useful when running more than one item at the same time.
The dry well format has a practical advantage over wet well units in day-to-day operation. There is no water to monitor, top up, or risk spilling when repositioning between services. Operational benefits include:
- No water management — removes spillage risk when moving the unit
- Adjustable heat control suits a range of food types and holding temperatures
- Two stainless steel round pots supplied as standard
- Compact footprint suits counter or pass use in tighter spaces
- Straightforward to clean down at the end of service
As an electric unit, installation is uncomplicated — there is no gas connection or specialist ventilation required. It is worth confirming available counter space before ordering, and considering whether round pots suit your portion sizes and serving style, or whether a different pot configuration would work better for your operation.
This unit is well suited to smaller establishments — cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, and event catering operations — where a practical, compact holding solution is needed for a handful of items during service. For kitchens holding a wider range of dishes simultaneously or serving higher volumes, a larger capacity or multi-pot unit would be worth considering.
If you are weighing up whether this configuration suits your service setup, we are happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Is a dry heat bain marie suitable for all food types?
Dry heat units work well for sauces, gravies, soups, and similar dishes that benefit from gentle, even holding heat. They are not suitable for cooking from raw, and food must be fully cooked and at temperature before being placed in the pots. Some delicate items can dry out more quickly in a dry well than in a wet well, so it is worth considering your menu when deciding which format suits your operation.
What are the installation requirements for this unit?
The LRB2 is an electric counter-top unit, so installation is straightforward — you will need a suitable mains electrical connection and adequate counter space. There is no gas supply, plumbing, or specialist ventilation required, which makes it a practical choice for operators with limited infrastructure or those using the unit in temporary or event settings.
How do I know if this unit has enough capacity for my service?
The LRB2 is designed for smaller operations or situations where only a handful of items need to be held at any one time — a café, pub kitchen, or small restaurant would be a typical fit. If you are regularly holding five or more dishes simultaneously, or serving a high volume of covers in a short window, a unit with greater pot capacity would be worth considering. If you are unsure, we are happy to talk through your service requirements.
