Why this wet well free standing bain marie earns its place
The MJV718 is the heavyweight choice for kitchens that serve continuously and need both hot food display and warm holding capacity built into a single unit. At nearly 1.8 metres wide, it holds five GN1/1 pans at depths up to 150 mm, each lit by halogen lamps and kept at consistent temperature by fan-assisted heat. Below the display is a heated cupboard — a second compartment that keeps plated items, sauces, or backup dishes warm at temperature without drying them out.
The twin insulated sliding doors (top and cupboard) are ergonomically designed with double walls and polyurethane foam, reducing heat loss and protecting staff from contact. A digital controller monitors and displays the well temperature, allowing precise control. Stainless steel construction throughout (AISI 304, interior and exterior) ensures years of service in a busy kitchen, resisting stains and corrosion. The cupboard drains easily via a tap, and the height-adjustable stainless steel legs let you level the unit on any floor. At 116 kg, this is a serious installation — once placed, it stays put, designed to anchor a long service counter.
This is engineered for high-rotation kitchens where you need more than just display: you need active holding capacity for plates, accompaniments, and backup ingredients. The 5-pan top handles the main rotation, while the heated cupboard absorbs the surge of plated items during peak service. It's an investment in throughput and consistency.
