Ask a Question About This Product
The ES-2000 salamander grill delivers overhead radiant heat for finishing plated dishes, melting cheese layers, and browning protein surfaces in commercial kitchens. Operations use this unit to char burger tops, glaze gratins, and caramelise dessert finishes without occupying range space. Restaurants, hotels, and catering kitchens mount it above service counters or cook lines.
Commercial Application
Overhead salamanders free up primary cooking surfaces during high-volume service. Chefs finish multiple orders simultaneously while maintaining temperature control on proteins and vegetables below. The unit reduces plating bottlenecks when orders require surface colour or cheese integration.
During breakfast service, operators toast sandwich tops and melt cheese on omelettes while the main griddle handles eggs and bacon. Lunch shifts use the radiant heat for burger buns, nachos, and open-faced sandwiches. The overhead position keeps the cook line clear for plating and assembly.
Key Operational Advantages

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the ES-2000 use a chrome-plated or steel cooking surface?
A: This unit is an overhead salamander grill with a radiant heating element, not a contact cooking surface. Food sits on a wire rack below the heat source. The rack is chrome-plated steel for easy cleaning.
Q: Is the ES-2000 available in a gas-fired version?
A: The ES-2000 operates on 240V electric power only. HAKI does not manufacture a gas version of this model. Electric salamanders require less ventilation and install without gas line modifications.
Q: How does grease drainage work during continuous service?
A: The removable crumb tray sits below the rack and collects drippings, bread crumbs, and cheese overflow. Operators slide the tray out during service for emptying. The tray measures 50cm × 30cm and holds approximately 1.5 litres.
Q: Can this salamander grill be installed in a food truck?
A: Yes, provided the truck has 240V power supply and adequate overhead clearance. The unit weighs 18kg and requires secure wall mounting with vibration-resistant fixings. Ensure ventilation meets local mobile catering regulations.
Q: Does the ES-2000 allow independent temperature zone control?
A: The unit provides single-zone radiant heat controlled by one thermostat dial. Operators adjust browning intensity by raising or lowering the rack position. Multiple temperature zones require positioning items at different heights on the rack.
