Overview

Benchstar ES-4000L Electric Salamander

The Benchstar ES-4000L is a robust commercial electric salamander built for demanding kitchen environments. Constructed with a full stainless steel body and powered by a durable alloy heater delivering 4kW of radiant heat, it handles toasting, grilling, browning, and dish finishing with consistent, reliable results. The suspension system can be raised or lowered and locked into any position, giving chefs precise control over cooking distance for a wide range of menu items.

Designed with practical safety and hygiene in mind, the ES-4000L features a recessed front control panel to shield it from radiant heat, a cool-touch Bakelite handle on top, and anti-slip rubber feet for stability on the bench. A stainless steel crumb collector with a handle makes post-service clean-up straightforward. Suitable for cafes, restaurants, and catering operations, this benchtop salamander pairs a compact footprint with professional-grade performance and a 1-year parts and labour warranty.
