Expert Review and Insights
The Buffalo Rise and Fall grill is a real workhorse. In a professional kitchen, control is everything, and that’s where this unit shines.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Inn, a riverside eatery in Salisbury, needed to upgrade their kitchen's grilling station. Their static grill was causing inconsistencies, with chefs constantly juggling trays to avoid burning dishes. They chose the Buffalo Rise and Fall Salamander Grill for its adjustable height and trusted brand reputation.
"The level of control is outstanding. We can now finish a delicate crème brûlée and a hearty lasagne with equal confidence. Our dishes are more consistent, and the kitchen workflow is much smoother because we're not constantly shuffling trays around."
Robert Green – Head Chef at The Old Mill Inn
Since the installation, the kitchen has reported a significant improvement in service speed for grilled items and a noticeable increase in positive customer feedback on dish quality.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a stable, level, and non-combustible countertop with plenty of space around it for ventilation.
- Before first use, wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and food-safe sanitiser.
- Plug into a suitable 13A socket – avoid using extension cords for safety.
- Perform an initial 20-minute 'burn-in' on full heat in a well-ventilated area to remove any manufacturing residues.
Keeping It Going
- After each service, allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning.
- Slide out and empty the crumb/drip tray daily, washing it in warm, soapy water.
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior and interior with a soft cloth and appropriate cleaner.
- Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of plug does this electric salamander grill come with?
A: It is supplied with a standard UK 3-pin 13A plug, making it easy to install in most commercial kitchens.
Q: How hot can this grill get?
A: The temperature is fully adjustable via the dial thermostat, reaching a maximum of 300°C for intense grilling and browning.
Q: Is the rise and fall mechanism difficult to operate?
A: Not at all. It's designed for smooth, one-handed operation, allowing you to easily and precisely adjust the height even during a busy service.
Q: What is the main benefit of a rise and fall grill over a standard one?
A: The main benefit is precision. You can control the heat intensity by changing the distance between the heating element and the food, which is ideal for delicate tasks and prevents burning.
Q: How do I clean the grill effectively?
A: Once cool, the stainless steel can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The removable drip tray can be washed separately for a thorough clean.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the unit?
A: The grill measures 500mm high, 450mm wide, and 509mm deep, making it a great fit for kitchens where counter space is at a premium.
Q: Can I use this for cooking raw meat from scratch?
A: While it's powerful, a salamander grill is primarily designed for finishing, browning, melting, and grilling pre-cooked or thin items. It's not a replacement for a chargrill or griddle for cooking thick cuts of raw meat.
Q: Does it have any safety features?
A: Yes, it includes an essential overheat safety protection feature, which automatically cuts power if the unit gets too hot, providing safety and peace of mind.

Ever tried to toast cheese on a thick slice of bread under a regular grill? You either burn the top, or the bread underneath stays cold. The 'Rise and Fall' feature on this Buffalo salamander grill solves that exact problem. Think of it like having an adjustable heat lamp you can move closer for an intense blast or further away for gentle warming. Instead of moving your food to a different shelf, you simply bring the heat source to the perfect height above your dish. This gives you nuanced control for melting, browning, or just holding at temperature, ensuring every single dish gets the exact finish it needs without any drama.
