Bonvue Angled Countertop Wet and Dry Bain Marie BM17TC

The Bonvue BM17TC is an angled countertop bain marie that runs wet or dry — as a water bath, or with the pans heated directly. It takes 5 × 1/1 GN pans (or a double row of 1/2 GN) up to 100 mm deep across +35 to +85 °C, in 304-grade stainless steel with a warm-white light on its own switch.

Why operators choose the BM17TC

• Runs wet or dry — one unit covers sauced product that needs a water bath and dry-held product that does not
• Fits 5 x 1/1 GN pans, or a double row of 1/2 GN — the layout follows the menu rather than the other way round
• Takes pans up to 100 mm deep — a full service of curry or sauce fits in one vessel
• Pan divider included — sections the well without buying extra parts
• +35 to +85 degrees C — a real holding band with a readable setting for food-safety records
• Warm-white light on a separate switch — lights the food line independently of the heat, so presentation is not tied to holding
• Angled presentation — product faces the customer rather than lying flat, which is the point of an angled well
• 304-grade stainless steel — the food-contact grade, and it survives daily filling, draining and cleaning

Specifications

Venue suitability

A countertop bain marie is the hot-holding backbone of a servery — bistros, buffets, canteens, clubs, takeaway counters and function catering. The wet-or-dry operation is the reason to choose it over a wet-only unit: one cabinet covers curries and sauces alongside product that would soften over water. At 1721 mm the BM17TC holds 5 full-size pans.
