Overview

Benchstar ES-2800L Electric Salamander

The Benchstar ES-2800L is a 2800W benchtop electric salamander built for the demands of commercial kitchens, cafés, restaurants and catering operations. Its durable alloy heating elements deliver rapid, intense radiant heat for grilling, toasting, browning, glazing and finishing dishes, while the stainless steel construction ensures long-term hygiene and ease of cleaning.

Compact enough to fit on most preparation benches yet powerful enough to handle continuous service, the ES-2800L combines a proportional control switch for precise heat management with an adjustable cooking height of up to 140 mm, giving chefs flexible control over cooking intensity across a wide variety of menu items.

Key Benefits

• Fast heat-up via 2800W alloy elements means less waiting between covers and consistent finishing results during busy service.
• Adjustable grill height up to 140 mm lets chefs fine-tune the distance between food and the heat source, suiting everything from thin sandwiches and melts to deep gratins and casseroles.
• Proportional control switch provides variable heat output, allowing energy-efficient operation by matching power to the task rather than running at full load continuously.
• Continuous heating function maintains steady temperatures throughout service, reducing temperature recovery time between batches.
• Recessed front panel design shields controls from radiant heat, protecting components and extending the operational life of the unit.
• Cool-to-touch Bakelite handle and stainless steel drop tray with handle allow safe, confident handling of the tray even during busy service.
• Anti-slip feet keep the unit stable on bench surfaces, reducing the risk of movement during operation.
• Stainless steel body and drop tray are straightforward to wipe down and sanitise, supporting kitchen hygiene standards.
• Compact 450 mm x 450 mm footprint makes efficient use of bench space in kitchens where room is limited.
