Kitchen Knock 383078 – The Safer, Cleaner Food Warmer
Dreading the “hot water spill” at the end of service?
The Kitchen Knock 383078 Electric Bain Marie solves the biggest headache in catering: cleanup. Featuring a built-in Tap Design, it allows you to drain the water bath safely and instantly into a bucket or sink without lifting a heavy, scalding hot machine.
Constructed from high-grade 304 Stainless Steel, this unit is built for hygiene and durability. With a precise temperature range of 30°C to 90°C, it gently keeps gravies, curries, and soups at the perfect serving temperature without burning or drying them out.
Engineered for Versatile Buffet Setups
Flexibility is key. This unit is sized to fit a standard GN 1/1 Pan (or any combination of smaller pans like 2x 1/2 or 3x 1/3). Whether you are serving one large lasagna or three different sauces, the multifunctional insulation ensures heat stays directed at the food, not wasted into the air.
