Flexible finance for commercial equipment
Woodson, part of the Stoddart Group, is one of Australia’s most respected names in benchtop equipment, hot food displays, bain maries and cold bars.
View all Woodson products→A bain marie that can't hold 65°C+ safely is a food-safety incident waiting to happen. Domestic-style benchtop units drift under lids-off service — an Australian-made wet bain marie is the minimum for any venue serving held hot food.
| Feature | Benefit | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated wet operation | Steam-heat for moist hold | Curries, stews, soups stay consistent |
| Thermostat 70–80°C | Safe hot-hold above 65°C danger line | Hot-hold compliance defensible |
| Air-insulated double-skinned tank | Efficient heating, cool outer shell | Lower energy cost, safer prep area |
| Ball-valve drain | Fast empty and clean down | Shorter end-of-day shutdown |
| Satin #4 stainless finish | Commercial aesthetic + hygiene | Looks premium on front counter |
Always verify dimensions and power requirements against your kitchen layout before purchase.
Who uses it: Cafés, catering, food courts, clubs, small restaurants serving held hot dishes.
Workload: Medium — single-pan hot holding across a service window.
If you're serving held hot food, you cannot use a dry-only unit with wet pans — it underheats the centre and the core temp drifts. The W.BMS11 is engineered specifically for wet operation, which is the only safe mode for most held dishes.
Q: Why wet-only and not a dual wet/dry?
A: For single-pan hot holding of wet dishes (curries, pasta, sauces) wet-only is safer and more energy-efficient. Pick wet/dry only if you run dry-hold dishes in the same unit.
Q: Will 1 × 1/1 GN be enough?
A: For a 30–60 cover café at one held dish, yes. For multi-dish service, step up to a 3- or 5-pan unit.
Q: Does it need plumbing?
A: No — manual fill + ball-valve drain. Just a 10A GPO.
For reliable single-pan wet hot holding, the W.BMS11 is the baseline. This is the minimum spec that will hold up. Order through KW Commercial.
