Overview

Benchstar ZCK165BT-1 Benchtop Heated Bain Marie

The Benchstar ZCK165BT-1 is a compact benchtop heated bain marie built entirely from stainless steel, designed for reliable food holding in restaurants, cafés, and commercial kitchens. It comes supplied with a 150 mm 1/1 pan and lid, so it is ready to use straight out of the box, and features an analogue temperature control that allows operators to dial in holding temperatures between 30°C and 80°C with ease.

A key design highlight is the separated, hidden heating element, which is kept entirely apart from the water tank. This arrangement protects the element from corrosion, eliminates exposed surfaces that could cause burns or contamination, and makes routine cleaning significantly more straightforward. The unit operates on a standard 240V/10A supply at 1.2 kW and includes a drain valve for convenient water removal. Note that this unit is rated for wet use only and must never be run dry, as doing so will void the warranty.
