Winco BAM-1.25 Bain Maries, 1.25-Quart,Stainless Steel,Medium

I bought one to unobtrusively store my favorite utensils and tasting spoons next to the stove. Does the job; sturdy and inexpensive. So I decided to buy a 2nd one for putting scraps in as I cook, either to throw out or put in the freezer for stock. I just nest it under the other bain Marie, no need to take up any storage space. Love them!

This product works great for blending small quantities with an immersion blender. It's also good for straining small quantities -- a conical 5 inch diam strainer fits perfectly over the top. And when you need to remove the rim from a tart shell or removable bottom cheese cake pan, just flip the pot upside down -- the smooth flat lip makes for good stability. And oh yeah, it can also hold utensils.

As a semi-pro chef, I use this Bain Marie for keeping tasting spoons handy and fresh when I cook.The Stainless Steel construction is flawless, easy to clean, and looks good on my counter. It is strongly made, and a simple brush with dish soap and a wipe brings it back to like-new condition every timePerfect addition to my kitchen accessories and easily earns a FIve Star rating from me, along with an honest and very hearty recommendation!

If you cook a lot, you must have one!

very handy and good weight, not too heavy or too light. a nice addition to the kitchen for small scraps

The perfect size.

Does exactly what it needs to do.

I saw/heard a Chef on TV say . . . you don't want to keep spilling peelings and other things reaching from the prep area to the kitchen trash can. Get a small one of these, put all the peelings right there where you are working, then later dump the whole thing into the trash can.This is a bit smaller (but then I have almost NO counter space in the apartment, so it's perfect for me.)
