The S12 Salamander Grill operates as an overhead finishing station in commercial kitchens. It delivers 2400W of controlled radiant heat for melting cheese, browning gratins, and caramelising sugar toppings. Burger restaurants, hotel kitchens, and breakfast cafés use this unit to complete plated dishes during final service stages.
Commercial Application
Salamander grills occupy the space between cook line and pass. Chefs position finished plates beneath the heating element to melt cheese on burgers, crisp bacon for breakfast orders, or glaze salmon fillets before service. The overhead heat source keeps the main cooking surface free for primary preparation.
During peak service, multiple plates queue beneath the grill. A hotel kitchen running breakfast service uses the unit to finish eggs Florentine and toast brioche buns simultaneously. The 2400W output maintains consistent temperature across the cooking zone without recovery lag between items.
Key Operational Advantages
- 2400W heating element maintains temperature across consecutive plate finishing tasks
- Overhead mounting configuration preserves cook line workspace for primary cooking equipment
- Electric operation requires single-phase connection without gas line installation
- Stainless steel drip tray collects grease and food debris for end-of-shift cleaning
- Height-adjustable rack positions plates at optimal distance from heating element
- CE certification meets UK, EU, NSF and CSA commercial kitchen safety standards

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the S12 use a chrome or steel cooking surface?
A: The S12 uses a stainless steel drip tray beneath the heating element. Food sits on oven-safe plates or dishes during finishing, not directly on the unit surface.
Q: What power supply does the S12 salamander grill require?
A: The S12 operates on 2400W electric power via single-phase connection. No gas line installation required.
Q: How does the grease collection system work?
A: A removable stainless steel drip tray sits beneath the heating element. It collects grease and food debris during service. Remove and wash the tray at end of shift.
Q: Can the S12 mount in a food truck galley?
A: Yes, provided the truck electrical system supplies 2400W on a dedicated circuit. Secure overhead mounting requires reinforced ceiling brackets to handle vibration during transport.
Q: Does the unit allow temperature zone control?
A: The S12 provides single-zone radiant heat controlled by thermostat. Adjust heat intensity using the control dial. Position plates closer or farther from the element using the adjustable rack for additional temperature variation.
