  • Pros: The GN 1/1 compatibility is a massive time-saver in a busy kitchen workflow.
  • Cons: It requires professional hardwiring, so remember to budget for an electrician's visit.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Star & Garter, a popular riverside pub in York, needed to upgrade their kitchen to cope with increasing demand for their Sunday lunches and  classic pub fare. Their old grill was causing a serious bottleneck, unable to keep up with the volume of dishes needing a final finish.

"The Lincat AS4 has been brilliant. It heats up so much faster than our old unit, and  the timer means our chefs can get on with other jobs without worrying about burning anything. The consistency we get on our cauliflower cheese and  fish pies is fantastic."

David Chen – Head Chef

Since installing the AS4, the pub has reduced its average dish finishing time by 40%, significantly improving kitchen flow during their busiest periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the grill on a stable, level, and  heat-resistant countertop with adequate clearance around it for ventilation.
  • This unit must be hardwired into a suitable electricity supply by a qualified commercial electrician. Do not attempt to fit a standard plug.
  • Before its first use, give all the stainless steel surfaces and  the toasting rack a thorough clean with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Ensure the fat collection tray is correctly fitted in place before you switch it on.

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of each day, remove and  empty the fat collection tray. Wash it in warm, soapy water.
  • Wipe down all external stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and  a suitable cleaner to prevent grease build-up.
  • After it has cooled, slide out the chromed toasting rack and  branding plate for a proper clean.
  • Periodically check that the grill hood mechanism is moving smoothly and  is free from any obstructions or food debris.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Salamander Grill

Feeling a bit stuck on which grill is the best fit for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Power & Fuel Type

Electric grills like this one offer fantastic, consistent heat. Consider the power rating (kW) – higher means faster heat-up times. Also, check if it needs hardwiring or a special socket.

Size and  Footprint

Measure your counter space carefully! Think about the pans you use most often. A model with Gastronorm (GN) compatibility, like this Lincat AS4 grill, is a huge plus for a seamless workflow.

Fixed or Adjustable Head?

An adjustable head gives you far more control over cooking, allowing you to gently melt or fiercely grill. For versatility, an adjustable model is almost always the better choice.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features that make life easier. A removable drip tray is non-negotiable for quick clean-ups, and  a durable stainless steel finish will withstand daily scrubbing.

Control Features

Simple on/off switches are reliable, but features like an audible timer can be a lifesaver, preventing costly mistakes during a busy service and  ensuring consistent results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 1/1GN compatible mean?

A: It means the grill is perfectly sized to accept a standard full-size Gastronorm pan (530 x 325mm), allowing you to move dishes directly from your oven to the grill without changing containers.

Q: Does this grill have a temperature thermostat?

A: No, this model features a simple and  robust on/off switch. You control the cooking intensity by physically adjusting the height of the grill hood relative to the food.

Q: Is the Lincat AS4 easy to clean?

A: Yes, it's designed for it. The stainless steel body can be wiped down, and  the removable fat collection tray and  toasting rack make daily cleaning straightforward.

Q: What kind of power supply is needed?

A: The Lincat AS4 requires a 4.5kW, 230V single-phase electrical supply. It must be professionally hardwired by a qualified electrician.

Q: Can I use it for toasting bread?

A: Absolutely. The chromed toasting rack is ideal for toasting bread, finishing sandwiches, and  browning the tops of dishes.

Q: How long does the timer go up to?

A: The built-in audible timer can be set for any duration up to a maximum of 20 minutes.

Q: Why would I choose an adjustable head over a fixed one?

A: An adjustable head provides much greater cooking versatility. You can position it high for gentle warming or low for intense, rapid browning and  grilling.

Q: How wide is this commercial salamander grill Lincat model?

A: The Lincat AS4 is part of the Silverlink 600 range, meaning it has a uniform width of 600mm, designed to suite perfectly with other equipment in the series.

Why an Adjustable Grill Hood Beats a Fixed One

Ever wondered what the real benefit of that 'smooth action easy-lift grill hood' is? It's all about giving you, the chef, ultimate control. A fixed grill gives you one level of heat – hot. But this adjustable design lets you manage the heat intensity by simply changing the distance between the powerful elements and  your food.

Think of it like toasting a marshmallow over a campfire. Hold it far away, and  it warms through gently. Bring it closer, and  it quickly caramelises and  browns. The Lincat AS4 gives you that same level of precise control. You can gently melt cheese on a lasagne from a distance or drop the hood closer for a rapid, fiery finish on a crème brûlée. It turns a simple grill into a much more versatile and  subtle cooking tool.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Gastropubs: An absolute must for finishing pies, melting cheese on gourmet burgers, and  grilling steaks to perfection.
  • Busy Cafes: Perfect for speeding up the lunch rush by toasting sandwiches, browning jacket potato toppings, and  reheating dishes.
  • Hotel Kitchens: A versatile powerhouse for finishing room service orders, gratinating dishes for the buffet, or handling breakfast grilling.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: Essential for any Lincat salamander grill for restaurants setup, ideal for finishing fish, caramelising sauces, and  charring vegetables.
