Benchstar ZCK165BT-1 - Benchtop Heated Bain Marie with Tap, 1/1 GN

Benchstar ZCK165BT-1 - Benchtop Heated Bain Marie with Tap, 1/1 GN

The Benchstar ZCK165BT-1 is a compact single-well bain marie for cafes, buffets and caterers who need to keep one pan of soup, sauce, curry or gravy hot on the bench. It comes with a 150mm deep 1/1 GN pan and lid, holds +30°C to +80°C on a simple analogue control, and plugs into a standard 10 A power point. The element sits hidden away from the water tank, and the drain valve (the tap) makes emptying it at the end of the day easy.

Key features:

• Supplied with a 150mm deep 1/1 GN pan and lid
• Analogue temperature control from +30°C to +80°C
• No exposed elements: the element is separate from the tank, which FED says improves safety, prevents corrosion and makes cleaning easier
• Drain valve for emptying the water bath
• All stainless steel construction
• Small 360mm wide footprint for a bench, servery or buffet line
• Designed for wet use (always run with water in the tank)
