ROCAM Bain Marie Trolley ARTEMIDE BM P for Professional Kitchens

A mobile bain marie trolley keeps prepared food at serving temperature without overcooking. Heating elements mounted beneath the stainless steel well warm the water bath evenly. The water transfers heat gently to the gastronorm containers above, maintaining moisture and texture in sauces, vegetables, meats and desserts. Because the heat source is indirect, there is no risk of hot spots or scorching, and the food stays ready for portioning throughout service.

The operator wheels the trolley to the required station, locks the brakes on two of the four 125 mm wheels, and fills the 16 cm deep well with water. The drain cock at the base allows quick emptying after use. Gastronorm containers—one full-size GN1/1 and two third-size GN1/3—are lowered into the well, where the heated water surrounds them. A sliding polyethylene cutting board with integrated drip tray sits on the worktop; it can be removed for cleaning or repositioned to create extra workspace. A side-mounted folding plate holder swings out when needed, and a pair of small GN1/9 containers on the worktop hold garnishes or condiments. Knives and lids are stored in dedicated holders, keeping everything within reach during plating.

The frame is built from solid wood, available in natural, walnut or wenge finishes, with additional colours on request. Stainless steel retaining bars can be added to secure containers during transport. The overall length adjusts between 1171 mm and 1366 mm to fit different kitchen layouts, while the width remains 590 mm and height 875 mm. The unit weighs 86 kg, making it stable yet manoeuvrable on its four wheels.

A 1.5 kW heating element draws 230 V single-phase power, plugging into a standard UK outlet. The power rating reflects the load on the circuit, so the trolley can be used alongside other equipment without overloading a typical kitchen supply. The 230 V requirement also means no special wiring is needed, simplifying installation.

The stainless steel well and polyethylene cutting board are wiped down after each service. The drain cock allows the well to be emptied and rinsed, preventing scale build-up. The solid wood frame is cleaned with a damp cloth and appropriate wood cleaner for the chosen finish. Wheels should be checked periodically for smooth rotation and brake function.

Three standard colour options are offered—natural, walnut and wenge—with bespoke finishes available. Optional stainless steel retaining bars can be fitted to secure containers during movement. A non-standard wood finish incurs an additional charge.

The trolley is categorised under mobile hot-holding equipment in the ROCAM professional catering range.
