Infrared grills are definitely the most technologically advanced of most modern types of grills available on the market. Their temperature output is very high, and this makes for very quick cooking times.. This method is known as “searing” and does several things for your foods. If you love steaks, you know this is the absolute best method of cooking them. If you have ever had a steak at a high quality restaurant that specializes in meat, then you know what I’m talking about. You are probably salivating thinking about it. Searing a steak cooks the exterior in minutes, while locking in the meat’s inherent juices and flavors, while adding flavors that are the result of precious carmelization that happens with these temperatures, only on an infrared grill. The difference in grilling is obvious; the flavor is extremely delicious, and the texture of meats are tender and moist.. Infrared grills are a pleasure to grill with, that follow with a pleasure to savor in the foods that have been grilled.. Grilled vegetables also benefit from infrared heat because the same searing technique also creates robust flavors that are unlike any other method of cooking or grilling. 2
