Woodson W.BMS11 Benchtop Bain Marie 1/1 GN

The Woodson W.BMS11 is a compact countertop bain marie designed to hold a single full-size 1/1 GN pan, making it an ideal hot food holding solution for cafes, restaurants, canteens, buffets, and catering operations where bench space is limited. Its wet-heat system delivers consistent, gentle warmth to keep soups, sauces, curries, and prepared dishes at safe serving temperatures for extended service periods.

Constructed from stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning, the W.BMS11 features a welded tank with a 20mm drain cock for safe and efficient water changes, non-slip feet for stability, and a mechanical thermostat with a temperature gauge for straightforward, reliable temperature control. It plugs directly into a standard 10A, 240V outlet, requiring no hardwired installation, and suits both front-of-house display and back-of-house holding applications.
