http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grilling#Salamander


"Modern electric or gas salamanders take their name from the
earlier salamander, an iron disc on a handle which is heated and
placed over a dish to brown it, which in turn is named after the
legendary salamander, an amphibian that was mythically
believed to be immune to fire."
