The Cookline ES23 Salamander broiler
The Cookline ES23 is a 23 inch electric countertop salamander that brings overhead finishing heat to kitchens that do not have a gas line to spare. It sits on the counter, plugs into a 220 volt circuit, and handles the same jobs a gas salamander does: melting cheese over French onion soup, browning mac and cheese, crisping the skin on a roasted half chicken, and warming plated food while the rest of the ticket catches up.
Adjustable Cooking Clearance
The heated top raises and lowers over a range of 2.25 to 7.75 inches above the grate, so you set the gap to match the food instead of moving the food to match the machine. Drop it low over a crock to blister cheese in under a minute, or lift it high above a tall gratin dish to brown gently without scorching the rim. A cool-to-the-touch bakelite handle makes those height changes safe to do mid-service with bare hands.
Infinite Heat Control
Rather than a handful of preset temperatures, infinite controls let you dial the 4 kilowatt heating section anywhere in its range. That fine adjustment is the difference between holding a finished plate warm and accidentally cooking it further, and it lets one unit cover delicate jobs like glazing fish as well as hard searing.
Cooking Area Built for Full Pans
The 23.2 by 12.6 inch cooking area takes a half-size sheet pan or a row of individual crocks side by side, so you can finish a table's worth of appetizers in one pass. The included cooking grate carries the food and the included drip tray below catches whatever bubbles over, keeping the base clean through a long shift.
Stainless Steel Countertop Build
The body is stainless steel, which shrugs off the splatter that comes with broiling and wipes clean with a damp cloth at close. At 23.6 inches wide and 20 inches deep it fits on a standard prep counter or an equipment stand next to the pass, and with no gas connection required, installation amounts to setting it down and plugging it in.
