How To Properly Use Salamander Broilers
Broilers are known to perform at very high temperatures using an overhead infrared heating component. Typically found in professional kitchens, the salamander broiler is usually above the main oven, for easy access to the chef. Due to the intense heat, a broiler can produce, it is necessary to have heat-resistant plates and utensils when using the broiler.
Depending on the model, this broiler is either powered by gas or electricity, and is used for grilling and toasting, melting cheese, and browning of grain dishes. Popular models or broilers include the Vulcan 36RB-N, Radiance TASM-36, and the Bakers Pride BPSBi-36N
