This offer ends in:
The MHQ300 is a double-element quartz salamander grill used for finishing, browning, and gratinating dishes in commercial kitchens. It delivers 3kW of overhead heat across a 490mm width, operating on standard 230V single-phase supply. Restaurants, hotels, and catering operations use this unit during final plating and service.
Commercial Application
Salamander grills sit above pass or prep stations where chefs need rapid overhead heat without firing a full oven. The MHQ300 handles gratins, melting cheese, crisping skin, and reheating plated items during service rushes. Multiple shelf positions allow operators to adjust distance from quartz elements based on heat intensity required.
During service, the unit runs continuously with a 15-minute timer for batch control. Quartz elements reach working temperature faster than traditional salamanders, reducing pre-service warm-up. Removable crumb tray simplifies end-of-shift cleaning when dealing with cheese drips and breadcrumb fallout.
