How Commercial Gas Salamander Grills Work

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!
