Charbroilers

Charbroilers are high-heat cooking units designed for commercial kitchens where intense searing and grilling are required. They feature robust construction—stainless steel exteriors, heavy-duty grates and integrated drip trays—and deliver the open flame or radiant heat needed to produce distinct grill marks and smoky flavour on steaks, burgers, seafood and vegetables. Effective units distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface and recover quickly to meet high volume service demands. Charbroilers can be gas- or electrically powered; gas models are common for their instant heat and strong searing capacity, while electric versions are used where no gas line exists. Key design features include adjustable grate height, flame control or infrared/radiant technology, and high capacity in sizes ranging from countertop to large freestanding floor models. Because they generate significant heat and grease vapour, proper ventilation and grease management are essential for safe installation and performance. Choosing the right charbroiler involves matching cooking surface size to menu volume, selecting the appropriate fuel type based on kitchen infrastructure, ensuring the grate and radiant materials suit the foods you’re cooking (for example thick proteins vs delicate items), and verifying maintenance ease and cleaning access. In short, charbroilers combine power, durability and cooking versatility—making them indispensable in any foodservice establishment that centres on grilled and high-heat menu items.
