Fagor 900 Series Electric Bain Marie BME9-05

The Fagor BME9-05 is a 900 Series electric bain marie with a 22-litre wet well that holds GN containers to 100 mm depth, keeping soups, sauces, gravies and pre-cooked dishes at safe serving temperature on cafeteria lines, carveries, function service and aged-care kitchens. A thermostat holds the water bath from 30°C to 90°C, drawing 2.8 kW.

Why operators choose the BME9-05

• 22 L heated well — holds GN containers to 100 mm depth, with separators to arrange multiple pans.
• 30–90°C thermostat — set a gentle hold for delicate sauces or a hotter hold for gravies and mains.
• 2.8 kW element — even wet-heat holding across the full well.
• Water feed and overflow drain — a water feed tops up the bath and drainage with overflow controls the level.
• Slimline footprint — 425 mm wide and 290 mm high to sit on a counter or drop into a service line.
• Wet-heat holding — the water bath surrounds the pans for gentle, hot-spot-free holding (containers not included).

Specifications

Venue suitability

The BME9-05 suits cafeteria and carvery lines, function and buffet service, aged-care and canteen kitchens that need to keep hot food at safe holding temperature through service. It is a wet (water-bath) holding unit for pre-cooked food, not a cooking appliance — batch-cook in a boiling or tilting pan first, then hold here.
