Vulcan Salamanders & Cheesemelters

Vulcan broilers, salamanders, and cheesemelters are essential to many commercial kitchens. Vulcan salamander broilers can be used to melt cheese and toast bread and are capable of high temperatures that broil and brown various foods. While some units are freestanding, others can be mounted to the wall, placed on a countertop, or mounted to a range. Legs may need to be purchased to place salamanders and cheesemelters on a countertop. Reinforced back risers are needed to mount Vulcan salamanders to a range. Vulcan broilers are freestanding units mounted on casters that often feature griddle tops or convection ovens.

Vulcan cheesemelters aren't designed to cook food, though they are designed to finish items before servicing. These units can melt cheese like Vulcan salamanders, but they don't have high temperatures capable of broiling. Vulcan cheesemelters are heated by electricity or gas and often include wall-mounting brackets.
