Salamander

A baker’s dream, salamander grills and salamander ovens help reheat, melt or brown food, especially breads, pastries, bagels, toast, cheese, cakes and muffins.

We stock powerful electric, LPG and gas salamander ovens for choice and each one is built solid with a strong stainless-steel structure for longevity and durability.

Salamander ovens are bulky and heavy-duty made, meaning you’ll need to be selective when it comes to choosing the right position to place your unit within your commercial kitchen or workspace.

Salamander ovens can act as alternate toasters and utilise high temperatures, heat levels and fast cooking methods to deliver the tastiest heated snacks, breads and meals.

Ideal for your local bakery or café, who normally work in a very fast-paced process, salamander units work wonders and are a unique and special equipment to look out for in our cooking equipment variety.

Salamanders

Salamanders are kitchen devices used for broiling, browning, caramelizing, glazing, grilling and toasting. They are generally used to put finishing touches on food, rather than cook them.

HAND-HELD

A hand-held salamander consists of a metal rod, with a wooden handle at one end, and at the other, a heavy-weight iron disk disks about 7 to 10 cm wide (about 3 to 4 inches). It looks a bit like a branding iron, or a medieval weapon of torture.

Commercial Salamander Buying Guide

One of the first things to know about the kitchen salamander is that its name does come from the fabled amphibian that, according to esoteric magickal sources, is supposed to be able to control the element of fire. Chefs who are into medieval lore or elemental tattoos or any of that will appreciate this bit of mystical wisdom.

The second thing to know is that a salamander is like a broiler, but slightly or even more significantly different in some ways.
