Roller Grill TS 1270 Salamander Toaster Grill

The Roller Grill TS 1270 is a compact salamander toaster designed for countertop use in commercial kitchens. Rather than a conventional open-rack salamander, it operates as an enclosed unit with a lidded tray, using six infrared quartz tubes arranged in two independently selectable sets of three. This configuration allows operators to apply heat precisely — running all six tubes for maximum output or selecting just one set for lighter finishing work. It accepts a single GN 1/1 pan and is suitable for browning, glazing, grilling, defrosting, and toasting.

One of the more practical characteristics of this unit is that it requires no preheating. In a busy service environment, that removes a step and makes the unit more responsive when demand picks up unexpectedly. The quartz tubes also operate without smoke or odours, which can be useful in front-of-house or open-kitchen settings where a conventional grill might cause issues. A 15-minute timer is included, with a lock position that allows continuous use during extended service periods.

From an operational standpoint, this unit suits kitchens that need a reliable finishing and toasting solution without committing significant counter space or infrastructure to a full overhead salamander. Key practical points include:

• No preheating required — ready for use immediately when service demands it
• Independent quartz tube selection for controlled heat output
• Enclosed tray design keeps heat focused and reduces ambient heat spread
• Removable back panel for straightforward maintenance access
• Timer with continuous-use lock position for sustained service periods

Installation is straightforward as an electric countertop unit. You will need a suitable power supply and adequate ventilation in the immediate area, though the absence of smoke and odour gives more flexibility on placement than a gas grill would. The unit is not intended as a primary cooking station for high-volume grilling — it is best understood as a finishing and toasting tool. For sites with heavier throughput or a need for full open-rack salamander functionality, a higher-capacity alternative may be worth considering.

This unit is well suited to cafés, hotel kitchens, smaller restaurants, and hospitality operations where fast finishing, toast service, or light glazing is needed without the footprint or infrastructure of a larger grill. It is also a practical option for front-of-house counters where clean, odour-free operation matters.
