This offer ends in:
The HES450 is a 2.8kW electric salamander with adjustable lift suspension. It provides overhead radiant heat across a 434x314mm cooking area. Operated in restaurants, hotels, and catering kitchens for browning, glazing, and finishing plated dishes.
Commercial Application
Salamanders occupy the final station in commercial pass layouts. Chefs raise or lower the grill height to control heat intensity without moving product. The unit handles gratins, crisped cheese toppings, caramelised sugars, and browning proteins before service.
During peak service the lift mechanism allows rapid adjustment between delicate glazes and high-heat char. A 2.8kW element heats to 300°C. The wire grid below accommodates standard hotel pans and oven-safe plates. Crumb tray pulls forward for mid-shift clearing.
