Gas salamander grills operate on a beautifully simple principle: powerful overhead heat that radiates downward onto your food. Gas burners create intense, consistent heat—typically between 10-15kW—that's distributed evenly across the cooking area. The adjustable grid system lets you position food at different heights depending on whether you want an intense sear or gentle warming. Most models feature multiple heat zones that can be independently controlled, allowing chefs to brown a crème brûlée in one section while gently melting cheese in another—brilliant for maintaining efficiency during busy service!

For optimal performance, always preheat your salamander for 5-7 minutes before use to ensure even cooking. Use the adjustable grid to create different heat zones—higher positions for quick melting, lower for intense browning. Keep the drip tray clean to prevent smoke and maintain food quality. For delicate items like fish, consider using a salamander plate to distribute heat gently. Remember that salamanders work brilliantly for keeping plates warm during service, too!
We've been supplying commercial kitchens for 50 years, and salamanders remain indispensable. 'They're the finishing touch maestros,' explains Mark, our equipment specialist. 'A proper gas salamander transforms good dishes into spectacular ones—that perfect caramelized top can be the difference between a happy customer and a loyal one.'
The Riverbank Bistro in Bath transformed their kitchen efficiency after installing our gas salamander grill. Previously, they struggled with inconsistent browning using their conventional oven, causing delays during peak service. 'It's been a game-changer,' says Head Chef Daniel. 'We've cut finishing time on our signature Welsh rarebit by two-thirds, and our gratins have never looked better. It works brilliantly alongside our chargrills and ovens—our kitchen brigade couldn't be happier!'
