Choosing the right salamander broiler

It doesn’t matter whether you call it a cheesemelter, conveyor broiler, or salamander – they all do the same thing. They complete dishes. From melting the cheese to creating a glaze, these little finishers make a big impact on how your food looks and tastes when they arrive at a table.
Buying one of these commercial kitchen tools isn’t something that every restaurant owner or chef has done a lot of. They can cost as much as an oven and can be put in almost any area of the kitchen. If you are looking to buy a cheesemelter or salamander broiler soon, listen up:

1. Define Your Needs
The first thing you want to do before you leave your home or shop to look at salamanders is to assess and then define your needs. Make a list of what foods you are going to need to heat, re-heat, glaze, melt, or brown. If you’ve been serving these dishes for a while, you should also have an idea of the number of dishes you will serve in a given service. Once you’ve got a picture of the work load your machine will need to take, you should have a good idea of how powerful and how large of a machine you need.
2. Make Room in Your Kitchen
Now that you know how often and generally what size of commercial salamander you are looking for, you can begin to plan for it in your kitchen. Most models today can be mounted over the stove, but that doesn’t mean your kitchen has that ability for it. My favorite mounting spot is on the wall beside the other cooking devices. They can also be mounted right onto a countertop, but I have found that it is a real waste of space. Also remember to account for the power type (either gas or electric) of your new commercial appliance.
3. The Best Salamander Broilers are Gas
Now that you know what you want and where it will go, the rest is choosing the specific model to meet your needs. While some commercial salamanders are electric, most sold today are gas powered. The reason gas is so prevalent in melting and browning devices is because it heats up more quickly and can become hotter than an electric element. This makes gas powered models much more appealing to business owners.
4. Brands to Look For
Most companies who make other commercial cooking devices will make a line of cheesemelters or salamanders. If you are happy with your current stove top and oven, I recommend checking out the same maker for salamanders. They usually come with compatible mounts which will make installation easier. If you are simply looking for a great quality machine, the two companies I always check out are Garland and Vulcan. Both make full lines of high quality salamanders to meet any owner’s or chef’s needs.
