How Do You Clean A Bain Marie?
A Bain Marie is a kitchen appliance which cooks or heats food by means of a water bath. Functioning in a manner similar to a large double boiler, the lower portion, which contains a sealed heating element, is filled with water. Pans full of food are then suspended over the water and heated by the steam rising off the water below. Like all kitchen appliances, the Bain Marie requires routing cleaning to perform at an optimum level. Unplug the Bain Marie and allow the equipment to cool completely before attempting to clean it. Remove the water from the Bain Marie. If your unit has an exterior tap, turn the knob to the open position and allow the water to drain into a bucket. If your unit does not have a tap, remove the pans from the Bain Marie and place the unit by the edge of the sink. Tilt the base towards the sink, allowing the water to run out. When the water is fully drained, return the unit to its normal, upright position and close the tap, if applicable. Detach any easily removable
