Blue Seal Salamander Grills

The Blue Seal Cobra CS9 is a wall-mounted gas salamander designed for commercial kitchen use. It runs on natural gas or LPG and uses two infrared surface combustion burners positioned in the ceiling of the cavity. Each burner operates independently, giving the chef genuine zone control without committing full output when only part of the grill is needed.

Infrared burners respond quickly and deliver consistent radiant heat across the cavity. In practice, this suits the stop-start rhythm that most salamanders see during service — rapid browning, glazing, or gratinating when demand spikes, with the option to hold one zone at lower intensity between covers. A busy pass benefits from that flexibility, particularly during a multi-course service where finishing requirements shift constantly.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the CS9 offers several practical advantages:

• Independent burner control for simultaneous zone management during varied service
• Infrared surface combustion delivering responsive, even radiant heat
• Flame failure protection on each burner as standard
• Removable drip tray for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
• Wall-mount bracket included, keeping the worktop beneath fully clear

Installation requires a gas supply — natural gas or LPG — and a secure wall fixing at a height suited to your pass or prep area. The bracket is supplied, but it is worth confirming that your wall construction is appropriate for the load and that the proposed mounting height works with your team's workflow before ordering. Maintain clearance around the unit in line with manufacturer guidelines and local gas safety regulations.

The CS9 is well suited to restaurants, pub kitchens, and hotel operations running regular service. For sites where a salamander is in near-constant use across a long double-sitting service or high-volume operation, a higher-output model may be worth considering. Smaller operations with lighter demand will find lower-output alternatives in the range.

The Blue Seal E91B is a heavy-duty electric salamander designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens. It uses two infrared heating elements, each independently controlled, which allows operators to run one or both sides depending on service demand — a practical arrangement that suits kitchens where output varies significantly between quiet periods and full covers.

In a working kitchen, a salamander of this type earns its place quickly. It handles the finishing work that keeps a pass moving: glazing sauces, browning gratins, toasting bread, caramelising toppings, and holding plated dishes at temperature while the rest of an order catches up. The ability to operate a single element during quieter service reduces energy draw without taking the unit fully offline, so it scales back up without delay when covers increase.

• Independent left and right element controls for flexible energy management during service
• Four-position adjustable racking, configurable flat or inclined to suit different food types
• Chrome wire rack with heat-resistant handles for safe, quick handling at the pass
• Heat-resistant control knobs with indicator lights for clear operational status
• Wall brackets included as standard, supporting both bench and wall-mounted installation

Installation is straightforward compared with gas equivalents — there is no flue requirement and no gas connection to arrange. The unit can be wall-mounted above an existing range or positioned on a bench, which gives reasonable flexibility within a fixed kitchen layout. The electrical supply requirement should be confirmed with your installer before fitting.

The E91B is well suited to restaurants, cafés, and hotel kitchens running regular service where a reliable finishing station is essential. For sites with particularly high throughput or where the salamander will be under near-constant demand throughout service, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity unit would better match the volume involved.

The Blue Seal G91B is a 900mm wide gas salamander designed for sustained, heavy-duty use in commercial kitchens. It operates via two independent infrared burner zones, each controlled separately, giving the operator precise control over heat output across the full working width. Piezo ignition and flame failure protection are fitted as standard, keeping the unit reliable and safe throughout the course of a busy service.

In practice, a salamander of this size earns its place by handling a broad range of finishing tasks consistently — grilling, glazing, browning, toasting, and holding — without losing pace during peak covers. The dual-zone arrangement means operators can run a single side during quieter periods and bring both zones up when demand rises, which avoids running the unit at full output unnecessarily throughout the day.

From an operational standpoint, the G91B offers several practical advantages:

• Dual independent burner zones allow flexible heat management across the full width
• Piezo ignition provides reliable lighting without a standing pilot flame
• Four-position rack with flat and inclined settings to suit different tasks and product depths
• Chrome wire rack with heat-resistant handles for safe, quick repositioning during service
• Bench or wall mounting options to suit different kitchen layouts

Installation requires a properly sized natural gas or LPG supply and adequate overhead clearance for radiant heat dissipation. Wall mounting demands a structurally sound fixing surface, and the unit should be positioned within the effective draw of an extraction canopy. Gas connection and commissioning must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

The G91B is well suited to mid-to-high volume operations — hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, and à la carte kitchens where the salamander sees regular, sustained use through service. The 900mm working width allows multiple items to be finished simultaneously. For lower-volume sites or kitchens where bench space is limited, a narrower model would be more practical. For very high-throughput operations where the salamander runs at near-constant capacity, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty unit would be a better long-term fit.
