Giorik Hi Touch Rise and Fall Electric Salamander Grill ST40 3Ph

The Giorik Hi Touch ST40 is a rise and fall electric salamander grill designed for professional kitchen environments where precise grilling, finishing, and glazing form a regular part of the service. The rise and fall mechanism allows the grill head to be positioned at varying heights above the food, giving operators direct control over cooking intensity without adjusting element temperature alone.

In busy service conditions, the ST40's ability to reach working temperature in under 20 seconds is a practical advantage — there is no extended warm-up period eating into prep time, and the unit responds quickly when demand increases unexpectedly during a shift. The grill handles the sustained workload of a commercial pass without the inconsistency that can affect lower-specification units over time.

One of the more operationally useful aspects of this model is the Hi Touch control system, which responds directly to human contact and allows individual elements to be switched on or off independently. In practice, this means energy is only drawn for the capacity actually needed — during quieter periods, running fewer elements can reduce power consumption considerably, which adds up across a full week's service. Key practical points include:

• Sub-20-second heat-up time reduces idle waiting between covers
• Selectable elements allow output to match actual throughput demand
• Rise and fall adjustment suits varied product heights and cooking styles
• Touch-responsive controls are straightforward to operate in a busy pass environment
• 3-phase supply provides stable, consistent power delivery under heavy use

This is a 3-phase unit, so a suitable 3-phase supply must be confirmed prior to installation. At just over 80kg, it requires adequate bench or overhead support rated for the load, and sufficient clearance above and around the unit for safe operation and heat dissipation. The 735mm width suits a standard medium-to-large pass setup, though it is worth measuring available space carefully before ordering.

The ST40 is well suited to hotels, restaurants, and contract catering operations running consistent grill and finishing volumes. It is a practical choice where energy management matters alongside performance. For very high-volume sites with continuous grill demand across multiple sections, a heavier-duty or higher-capacity model may warrant consideration.
