A stainless steel (SS) Bain Marie counter is a specialized foodservice equipment used for holding, warming, and serving food at safe temperatures over an extended period. It is commonly found in restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, catering operations, and buffet lines. The term "Bain Marie" refers to the method of heating food by placing containers in a water bath, providing even heat and preventing food from overheating or drying out. The stainless steel construction ensures durability, hygiene, and easy cleaning, which are key considerations in a commercial kitchen or foodservice environment.
