Before we plunge into the details of choosing the right restaurant equipment, let’s enlighten ourselves about the intriguing name Bain Marie! This bit of information is like the drizzle of seasoning on a dish- it may make no difference, but nevertheless important.
Believe it or not, Bain Marie translates to “Mary’s Bath.” Mary lived sometime between the 1st and 3rd century and “Mary’s bath” was a term used to refer to the technique she discovered of using a dish surrounded by another tray of hot water. Little did Mary know that her technique would become an important part of every restaurant and catering equipment around the world.
So, what do we use a Bain Marie for?
Before we understand whether a cold or hot Bain Marie is the better option for your kitchen it is important to know what it is used for. This information will help you choose the right option for your restaurant
A Bain Marie uses the concept of indirect heating to cook food. Usually, Bain Maries cook food gently and achieve smooth and fluffy textures. Custards, crème brulees, and cheesecakes are often cooked through Hot Bain Maries. The idea behind using Bain Maries is to achieve uniform cooking. Unlike heat by fire which may result in concentrated heat.
Restaurants use Hot Bain Maries to keep food warm. Catering services and restaurants use Bain Maries at the buffet table to ensure food remains warm throughout.
Today, hot and cold Bain Maries have become an essential part of restaurant equipment. Bahrain Gas offers a range of cold and also hot Bain Maries with varying slots to suit your restaurant requirements.

Hot Bain Marie
As the name suggests, a hot Bain Marie consists of slots immersed in a wider tray of hot or boiling water. Buffet tables use this restaurant equipment to keep the food consistently warm for a long period.

Restaurants also require certain food to remain cool for a long time. For example, salad counters or cold desserts are best when eaten cold. Working on the same principle of hot Bain Maries, cold Bain Maries also indirectly keep food cool or cold. The bottom cold cabinet placed below the food slots ensures food remains cold for a prolonged period.
Which Bain Marie should you choose?
