Product Details

The Free Standing Electric Infrared Broiler is a high-performance solution for commercial kitchens that demand fast, consistent, and high-heat cooking for broiling, finishing, and caramelizing. Built with a rugged stainless steel front, sides, and back panel, this unit is designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of professional foodservice environments while maintaining a clean, modern look.

Powered by 12 kW ceramic infrared heating elements, this broiler delivers intense radiant heat and achieves a 30-minute preheat time, with no waiting required between loads. It’s perfect for high-output operations that need continuous broiling power without sacrificing quality or efficiency. The fully insulated lining and burner boxes ensure energy efficiency and consistent cooking temperatures throughout every shift.

The broiling surface is thoughtfully engineered with a roll-out design measuring 24-1/2 inches wide by 27-1/2 inches deep, allowing easy access and safe handling. The front 3 inches of the broiling area features reduced heat for holding or staging, offering added flexibility during busy service periods. A robust, five-position grid height adjustment mechanism allows precise control over cooking intensity, accommodating a wide range of menu items from steaks and seafood to vegetables.

Additional features include removable broiler grids with a round pattern designed for effective branding and presentation, plus 6-inch adjustable stainless steel legs for stable placement and convenient cleaning access underneath. Durable, efficient, and built for high-volume use, the Free Standing Electric Infrared Broiler is an ideal choice for restaurants, steakhouses, and institutional kitchens looking to elevate their broiling capabilities.
