TEC Infra-Red Grills - The History of Infra-Red

The Evolution of Infra-Red Grilling

In 1980 Thermal Engineering Corporation, TEC, introduced the world's first under-fired infra-red gas grill. As the patents covering this process expired other grill manufacturers adopted our traditional infra-red cooking process. Building on its 25 year head start, TEC continues to develop new infra-red technologies. And with its new Flare-Proof, all-metal infra-red burner system. TEC proudly continues to lead the way into a new revolution of outdoor grilling.

	Conventional Grills use simple, metal burners to produce flames that are too large and too few. Because they cook with hot air, they have cool spots and dry food out quickly. Flare-ups are often a problem, and lava rocks are dirty and dusty.

	TEC's First Infra-Red Grills used tiny flames that heated ceramic plates. These burners emitted infra-red radiant energy which cooked the food with far less drying and fewer flare-ups than conventional grills. Still, the flames were open to the food, so slow cooking and protection of the ceramics could be challenging.

	TEC's Radiant Glass Infra-Red Grills used glass panels to allow the passage of infra-red energy while almost entirely blocking rising hot, dry air. This grill allowed food to remain more moist and tender while the glass panels protected the ceramics.

TEC's Flare-Proof, All-Metal, Infra-Red Burners are by far the most sophisticated ever invented. It uses multiple layers of metal to produce infra-red energy. The radiant glass panels, positioned directly over the burners, allow the passage of infra-red energy while blocking air flow.
Placement of the grates, glass and burners provide total heat uniformity and eliminates flare -ups.
