Salamander toaster Hendi 264607

This Hendi salamander toaster is designed for finishing dishes and sandwiches, with an adjustable upper heating position for work across different dish sizes. Its overhead heat suits browning and final heating close to service, while the movable heater lets the chef set a suitable gap above the food.

Where it is used

At a café pass, the salamander can finish sandwiches and brown the tops of dishes before they leave the kitchen. The thermostat adjusts in steps up to 300 °C, so the chef can select a heat setting for the finishing task; its indicator makes the heating status visible during service.

The upper heating height adjustment accommodates dishes of different volumes, making the unit useful where plated items and sandwiches share a finishing station. A dedicated adjustment system supports changing that working gap as the dish height varies. The pull-out tray collects grease and crumbs beneath the cooking area, keeping debris in a removable collection point during the shift.

Connection and installation

The 230 V supply voltage helps match the salamander to the kitchen’s available supply, while its 2.8 kW rating identifies the electrical load to consider when planning the station. The thermostat’s stepped control provides a direct way to set the working temperature for browning or finishing, and the indicator shows heating status without relying on guesswork.

Care

The stainless-steel casing is corrosion resistant, a useful property in a damp kitchen, and its smooth surface is easy to keep clean as part of routine equipment care. The removable collection tray catches grease and crumbs; pulling it out gives staff access to the collected debris for cleaning without leaving it beneath the cooking area.

How to choose

Use the overall dimensions to assess the salamander’s footprint against the intended workstation and available access for positioning. Its 39 kg weight is also relevant when planning where it will be placed and how the team will handle it during setup.

The maximum temperature of 300 °C supports browning dish tops and finishing sandwiches under upper heat. The tray’s 440 × 320 mm size provides a collection area beneath the cooking zone, useful where grease and crumbs are part of the finishing work.
