Casselin CCP4 Hot Dog Toaster with Four Spikes

A hot dog toaster heats bread rolls and sausages together by conduction. Four vertical spikes carry electric current; the spikes grow hot and transfer heat directly into the filling and the surrounding roll. This method browns the roll evenly and warms the sausage without drying it, giving a consistent result in under a minute.

The operator loads four sausages onto the anodised aluminium spikes, then places a split roll around each one. The on-off switch is pressed; a warning light confirms power. The unit heats until the operator removes the hot dogs, then the switch is turned off.

The body is stainless steel, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a busy kitchen. Four anodised aluminium spikes, each 185 mm high, hold the sausages and rolls securely.

The on-off switch controls power to the spikes. A warning light shows when the unit is live.

The 0.11 kW power rating means the toaster draws a light load, suitable for a standard 230 V circuit found in most professional kitchens. The 260 x 300 x 290 mm footprint allows it to sit on a worktop or counter without crowding other equipment. At 4.3 kg, the unit is light enough to move by hand when the worktop needs to be cleared.

After use, the stainless steel body is wiped with a damp cloth. The anodised aluminium spikes are cleaned with a soft brush to remove any residue, then wiped dry to prevent corrosion.

The Casselin CCP4 is listed in the professional catering catalogue under counter-top toasters and snack equipment.
