CookRite Bentchtop 1/1 GN Bain Marie with Mechanical Controller and Drain 8710

The CookRite 8710 is a benchtop bain marie that keeps sauces, soups, curries and cooked food at safe service temperature, controlled by a simple mechanical dial. Its drain is the difference from the 8700 — emptying the water bath is a tap-and-drain job at close rather than lifting a hot, full pan off the bench.

Why operators choose the 8710

• Fitted drain — empty the water bath at close without lifting a hot, full unit — the reason to choose the 8710 over the 8700
• Mechanical dial control — one dial, no menu; simple to run and simple to service
• Holds a 1/1 GN pan — a standard gastronorm footprint that fits the pans a kitchen already owns
• Stainless steel construction — wipes down and stands up to daily service
• Compact 580 x 340 mm footprint — adds hot holding to a service counter without taking a prep station
• 240 V plug-in operation — connects to a standard outlet

Specifications

Venue suitability

A benchtop bain marie is for holding, not cooking — sauces, gravies, curries and soups kept at service temperature next to the pass. The 8710 suits cafes, takeaway counters, food trucks, canteens and catering setups, and the drain earns its keep anywhere the unit is emptied daily rather than occasionally.

Installation & delivery

It is a self-contained plug-in unit running on 240 V, so a standard outlet is all that is required — no hard-wiring and no plumbing. Set it on a level bench, fill the water bath before switching on, and site it within reach of a sink so the drain can be emptied cleanly.
