Lincat LGT Electric Salamander Grill | Overhead Grill

The Lincat LGT is an electric salamander grill designed for overhead grilling, toasting, browning, and finishing dishes in a commercial kitchen. It mounts above a worktop or cooking line and delivers consistent radiant heat from above — the kind of straightforward, dependable performance that busy service periods demand.

Salamanders are among the hardest-working pieces of kit in a commercial kitchen, and the LGT is built with that in mind. Whether it is grilling portions to order, browning gratins, finishing steaks, or pushing through rounds of toast during a breakfast service, the tubular sheathed heating elements are designed for longevity and distribute heat evenly across the grill surface. That consistency matters during service — cold spots cost time and result in uneven output when covers are moving quickly.

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

• Even heat distribution supports consistent results across the full grill surface
• Tubular sheathed elements are durable and straightforward to maintain
• Supplied with a toasting rack and grill pan with stay-cool handles — ready to use from installation
• Electric connection means no gas supply required, which simplifies installation on many sites
• Compact overhead footprint suits kitchens where space above the cooking line is limited

Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit is wall-mounted or shelf-mounted above the cooking position and requires an appropriate electrical supply. As with any overhead grill, it should sit within an existing extraction canopy or ventilation system. It is worth checking overhead clearances and confirming bracket compatibility before ordering.

The LGT is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, and hotel breakfast services — where a reliable, no-nonsense overhead grill is needed without the scale or cost of a larger unit. For higher-volume sites running continuous covers or multiple grill sections, a heavier-duty model with greater output may be a more appropriate choice.
