Features

• High-Powered 2 kW Electric Heating: Equipped with a substantial 2 kilowatt electric heating element, providing superior heat intensity and faster recovery times, ideal for quickly browning, glazing, and melting ingredients on multiple dishes simultaneously.

• Increased Cooking Capacity (30" Width): With a wider approximate dimension of 30 inches, it offers a larger cooking surface, allowing for the finishing of more food items at once, significantly boosting kitchen efficiency in high-volume settings.

• Precise Temperature and Rack Control: Features a user-friendly control system for adjusting heating intensity and multiple rack positions or an adjustable element mechanism, enabling chefs to fine-tune browning and cooking results for diverse dishes.

• Premium Stainless Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability, resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, and effortless cleaning, maintaining hygiene and a professional appearance in demanding commercial kitchens.

Applications

• High-Volume Gratinating: Perfect for rapidly gratinating multiple portions of casseroles, pasta bakes, and potato dishes in busy restaurants and catering events, ensuring a consistent golden-brown crust.

• Batch Toasting and Melting: Efficiently toasts multiple slices of bread, bagels, and open-faced sandwiches, and quickly melts cheese over larger quantities of nachos, pizzas, or au gratin dishes.

• Intense Browning and Glazing of Meats/Fish: Used for achieving a professional, caramelized, or seared finish on larger cuts of meat, poultry, and fish, enhancing their flavor and visual appeal before serving.

• Buffet and Pass-Through Warming: Can serve as a high-performance warming unit in buffet lines or kitchen pass-through areas, keeping prepared dishes hot and ready for service without compromising their texture or appearance.

Usage

• Pre-Operation Setup: Place the salamander on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Connect it to a suitable 2 kW power outlet. Turn it on and allow the heating elements to preheat thoroughly, typically for 5-10 minutes, until the desired temperature is reached.

• Food Placement: Position the food item(s) on a heat-proof tray or directly on the cooking rack. Adjust the height of the rack or the heating element to set the optimal distance from the heat source, depending on the desired level of browning or melting.

• Monitoring and Finishing: Slide the tray with the food into the salamander. Keep a close watch on the cooking process, as the powerful 2 kW heat can brown or finish dishes very quickly.

• Safe Removal and Service: Once the food has achieved the desired finish, use insulated gloves or appropriate tools to carefully remove the hot tray from the salamander and serve the dish immediately.

Maintenance:

• Daily Cleaning after Cooling: After each use, ensure the salamander is completely cooled down and unplugged. Wipe down all stainless steel exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, food-safe detergent to remove grease and food splatters.

• Crumb Tray Maintenance: If applicable, remove, empty, and thoroughly clean the crumb tray daily to prevent the buildup of food particles and grease, which could be a fire hazard.

• Heating Element Care: Periodically inspect the heating elements for any food residue or carbon buildup. Avoid using abrasive cleaners directly on the elements, as this can cause damage. For stubborn residue, gentle scraping with a wooden or plastic tool might be necessary after the unit is cold.

• General Inspection and Professional Servicing: Regularly check the power cord, plug, control knobs, and switches for any signs of wear, damage, or malfunction. Schedule professional servicing annually or as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure optimal performance and safety.
