Roband CHOC1A Chocolate Bain Marie – 1 x 1/2 Size Pan

The Roband CHOC1A is a dedicated chocolate bain marie engineered specifically for holding and maintaining melted chocolate at the precise temperatures required for food coating and confectionery applications. Manufactured in Australia from 304 stainless steel, it delivers consistent, gentle warmth across a thermostatically controlled range of 20–50°C, ensuring chocolate stays fluid and workable throughout service without scorching or seizing.
