Lincat LGT Salamander Grill | Electric Overhead Grill

The Lincat LGT is an electric salamander grill designed for overhead grilling, toasting, and finishing dishes in a commercial kitchen environment. It sits above a worktop or range and provides consistent, direct radiant heat from above — useful wherever speed and a reliable finish matter during service.

Salamanders are a workhorse piece of kit in busy kitchens. The LGT handles the kind of repeated use that comes with lunch and dinner covers — grilling portions to order, browning gratins, finishing steaks, or pushing through rounds of toast during a breakfast service. The tubular sheathed heating elements are built for longevity and distribute heat evenly across the grill area, which helps avoid the cold spots that slow service down.

From a practical standpoint, the LGT offers a number of advantages in day-to-day operation:

• Even heat distribution supports consistent results across a full grill surface
• Tubular sheathed elements are more durable and easier to maintain than exposed alternatives
• Supplied with a toasting rack and grill pan with stay-cool handles, ready to use from installation
• Compact footprint makes it suitable for kitchens where overhead space is limited
• Electric supply means no gas connection required, simplifying installation in many sites

Installation is straightforward in most cases — the unit is wall-mounted or shelf-mounted above a cooking line and requires an appropriate electrical supply. As with any overhead grill, ventilation above the cooking position is an important consideration, and the unit should be positioned within an existing canopy or extraction system. It is worth checking overhead clearances and bracket compatibility before ordering.

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

If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
