Lincat LRB Dry Heat Bain Marie with Round Pot

The Lincat LRB is a dry well bain marie supplied with a stainless steel round pot. Rather than heating food containers in water as a wet well unit does, it uses radiant heat from a heated chamber to maintain food at serving temperature. It is a straightforward, practical piece of kit commonly used for holding soups, sauces, gravies and stews through a service period.

In terms of day-to-day operation, the absence of water is the defining characteristic. There is nothing to fill at the start of service, nothing to monitor during it, and no hot water to drain or manage at the end. This makes the unit quicker to set up, easier to reposition if needed, and simpler to clean down once service is over. Adjustable heat control allows operators to dial in an appropriate holding temperature for the dish being served.

• No water to fill, monitor or dispose of — simpler daily operation
• Lower spillage risk when repositioning during or after service
• Well suited to soups, stews, gravies and other moist dishes
• Quick to clean down at the end of service
• Compact footprint suited to front-of-house or supplementary holding

It is worth being clear about where dry well units work best. They suit foods with good moisture content that can tolerate gentle radiant heat. Dishes that dry out quickly over extended holding periods may fare better in a wet well environment. This is a single-pot unit, so operations holding multiple dishes simultaneously may find a multi-pot configuration more practical.

This unit is well suited to smaller operations, carvery or buffet service, and situations where a supplementary holding point is needed alongside existing equipment. If you are weighing up dry versus wet well, or working out whether a single pot will cover your service requirements, we are happy to talk it through.
