Diamond SX-81G Gas Salamander Grill

The SX-81G matches the SX-80E's 800 x 590 x 590mm footprint but runs on gas rather than electric, weighing slightly more at 40kg. As with its electric sibling, it's a salamander grill designed to finish dishes from above with high, direct heat rather than cook food through from scratch.

Choosing gas over electric for a salamander often comes down to what's already installed on a line and how quickly the grill needs to respond to being switched on and off between orders. It's built for the same finishing role — browning, glazing and holding plated food at temperature just before service — and comes with Diamond's one year parts warranty.
