Commercial Adjustable Salamander Grill

A 2,800 W salamander grill with an adjustable height rack, on a 450 × 520 × 520 mm body, 36 kg net, running 50–300°C. A salamander is top heat only: the element sits above the food, and the rack height is what controls how fast the surface browns.

That is the difference from a griddle. A griddle heats from below and cooks through; a salamander browns, glazes and melts from above, which is what finishes a dish that is already cooked — a gratin, a cheese-topped sandwich, a caramelised sugar crust.

It is used in restaurant kitchens, steakhouses, hotels and cafés. It browns and glazes; it is not a general-purpose oven and will not cook a raw steak through.

Top Heat, Adjustable Height

• Adjustable rack height: the distance between element and food is the real control — closer browns faster, further dries less.
• 2,800 W: enough output to brown a full rack of portions at once rather than one at a time.
• 50–300°C: a moderate heat for melting cheese through to a hard sear on the surface.
• 36 kg: a heavy unit that is meant to be installed, not moved between stations.

Build Details

The element sits in the top of a stainless cavity, and the rack slides to three or more positions below it. The distance setting is used more than the thermostat: a dish that browns too fast is lowered, not cooled.

Controls are on the front, clear of the heat. The cavity is open at the front, which is what allows the operator to watch a glaze take colour — the whole point of a salamander is the visible finish.

Heat rises. A salamander with the rack at the top position is effectively at full power regardless of the dial, and food left there will burn in under a minute. Load, watch, remove — it is not a holding cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the minimum order quantity?

10 pieces, with monthly capacity up to 1,000 units.

2. What is the lead time?

20–25 days after order confirmation; samples in about 7 working days.

3. Does it cook food through?

No. It applies top heat to brown, glaze and melt. Food should be cooked before it goes under the element.

4. What does the adjustable rack do?

It sets the distance between the element and the food, which is the main control over how fast the surface colours.

5. How hot does it get?

The range runs from 50°C to 300°C.

6. Which voltages are available?

Supplied for 110 V or 220 V at 50/60 Hz on a 2800 W element, with the plug matched to the market on order.

7. What does the warranty cover?

One year against manufacturing defects, with spare parts support afterwards.
