Overview

Cookrite 8700 Bain Marie with Mechanical Controller

The Cookrite 8700 is a compact, countertop bain marie designed for continuous food holding in busy commercial environments. Constructed from 304 stainless steel and powered by a 1.2 kW, 240V single-phase electric supply, it offers a temperature range of 30°C to 90°C controlled via an analogue thermostat, making it straightforward to operate and maintain at safe serving temperatures throughout a service period.

Suited to restaurants, cafes, clubs, pubs, bars, quick service restaurants, convenience stores, supermarkets, food production facilities and hospitality venues, the Cookrite 8700 delivers reliable, low-cost food holding in a lightweight benchtop footprint. A 24-month warranty and a practical drain function add to its appeal as an everyday workhorse unit.

• Analogue thermostat with a 30°C to 90°C range allows precise temperature dialling to suit different food types and safe-holding requirements.
