What Are Salamanders Used For?

A professional salamander is designed for gratinating and toasting, as well as keeping food warm, making it the perfect solution for cafés, restaurants, canteens, and other establishments.

Salamanders are primarily used in kitchens for quick gratination and cooking. Here are some of their main applications:

•                       Gratinating: Perfect for browning the surface of dishes like lasagna, baked pasta, and vegetable gratins.
•                       Heating: Useful for reheating pre-cooked dishes without overcooking them.
•                       Cooking: Some chefs use them for quickly cooking items such as meat, fish, or vegetables due to their intense direct heat.
•                       Finishing: Ideal for adding a crispy crust or melting cheese as a final touch to dishes.

Salamanders come in various configurations, ranging from professional models used in restaurants to smaller versions for domestic use.

Three Features of the Best Professional Salamander

On Bianchi’s online shop, you’ll find only the best professional salamanders, characterized by the following key features:

•                       Power and Adjustable Temperature: A quality salamander should offer high power (at least 2000 watts) and adjustable temperature settings, allowing it to adapt to different cooking techniques and meet gratination and quick-cooking needs.
•                       Quality Design and Materials: Professional salamanders should be constructed from durable and easy-to-clean materials like stainless steel, ensuring longevity and hygiene. A well-designed model also ensures uniform heat distribution.
•                       Functionality and Versatility: Additional features such as an integrated timer, adjustable heat settings (upper/lower), and height-adjustable grids add flexibility, enabling the salamander to be used for a variety of dishes and culinary techniques.

These features contribute to the efficient and versatile use of salamanders in professional kitchen environments.

Single-Phase Salamander and Three-Phase Salamander: What’s the Difference?

The primary difference between single-phase and three-phase salamanders lies in the type of electrical supply they use.

•                       Single-Phase Salamanders are designed to operate on single-phase electrical supply, making them more suitable for domestic use or small professional kitchens where power demands are moderate. These salamanders are usually easier to install and can be plugged into standard electrical outlets.
•                       Three-Phase Salamanders require a three-phase power supply, providing higher power and superior performance. This makes them ideal for large professional kitchens and restaurants where rapid and uniform cooking for large quantities of food is essential. The power distribution in three-phase salamanders also ensures greater temperature stability and faster heating—critical in high-intensity cooking environments.
