A salamander is a high-heat broiler used in professional kitchens to finish or brown dishes quickly. It is perfect for tasks such as melting cheese on a gratin, crisping the top of a crème brûlée, or giving a final sear to meats. The salamander’s intense heat from above allows chefs to achieve the desired texture and color in a short amount of time, making it a valuable tool in both fine dining restaurants and more casual settings.
