of the heat in the beam fell into the spectral region just beyond the red end of the spectrum, where no
visible light existed.
Most materials readily absorb infrared energy in a wide range of wavelengths, causing an
increase in its temperature. The same phenomenon causes us to feel warmth when we are exposed to sunlight.
The infrared rays from the sun
travel through the vacuum of space, through the atmosphere, and penetrate
allowing us to feel warmth.
Foods cooked over infrared heat sources are heated by the same principle. Charcoal grilling is our most
familiar

the same type of infrared heat to the food as charcoal, without its hassle
vide a more consistently heated area that is far easier to regulate than
food being cooked. This generates lower grill temperatures that are ideal for more delicate cuisine such
