Salamander

The name, also applied to various types of heating device, comes from the mythical salamander, a beast that lived in fire and could control fire. Examples from kitchen use include high temperature ovens and, from the 17th and 18th century, a browning element.A salamander in our terms is a specialised kitchen appliance commonly found in restaurants. It is essentially a dedicated broiler designed to achieve perfect grilling, browning, finishing, and toasting in half the time of a standard oven broiler.Salamander ovens are a specialised kitchen appliance that are dedicated to broiling foods at higher temperatures than a traditional oven's broil setting. A salamander uses infrared or radiant heat to push heat down evenly onto food.With its focused heat and top-down broiling action, a salamander is ideal for broiling meats and raising the temperatures of rare cuts. They can also be used to add a top layer of brown to casseroles and other dishes or as a rotisserie to cook roasts or poultry on a spit.The Salamander's power comes from two independently controlled 11,000 BTU infrared broilers that deliver ideal, easy-to-adjust heat, from gentle broiling to 1850°F of intense searing heat across the 215 square inches of cooking space.
