When you're serving a crowd—whether at a hotel buffet, catering event, or restaurant—the last thing you want is cold food. That’s where a buffet warmer or bain marie comes in. At Hospitality Connect, we stock a wide selection of commercial-grade bain maries that keep food warm, safe, and ready to serve all day long.
What Is a Buffet Warmer or Bain Marie?
A bain marie (also known as a buffet warmer) is a piece of foodservice equipment designed to keep pre-cooked food at a safe serving temperature. Ideal for:
-
Buffet lines
-
Cafeterias
-
Catering setups
-
Hotel breakfast stations
-
Food courts
They typically use gentle heat, often via a water bath, to avoid drying out or overcooking food—perfect for maintaining texture, flavour, and food safety.
