Why this bains marie earns its place
The Parry Bain Marie BMF1 CD444 is a compact stainless-steel bain marie built for mobile catering. It measures 310 x 560 x 400 mm, weighs 12 kg and uses propane gas, so it is small enough to sit neatly on a counter while still being a proper commercial holding unit.
It is set up for 1/4 GN quarter gastronorm pots and delivers 6,141 Btu/hr, or 2.75 kW, which gives you a straightforward hot-holding solution for sauces, sides and other service items. The manufacturer also says it is perfect for mobile catering with no flue required, which is the key detail for traders working where extraction is limited.
Parry supplies the unit with pots and a gas conversion kit, so it is ready to put into use with the supplied accessories. The stainless-steel build and silver finish keep it in the hard-wearing trade bracket, and the 2 year parts and labour warranty gives extra reassurance on a unit that is clearly aimed at regular service use.
