Bain Marie

What is a bain marie?

A bain marie is a piece of catering equipment designed to gently heat or keep food warm over an extended period without drying it out or overcooking it. It works by surrounding the food with a consistent, indirect heat, often by placing food containers over a water bath or using an internal heated element. This makes a bain marie ideal for serving hot buffet dishes such as sauces, soups, casseroles and pasta at the right temperature throughout your service. It’s an essential tool for caterers who value consistent food quality and presentation during large-scale service.
