Are you familiar with Char-broil's TRU-Infrared™ technology?

Grilling should be a moment of pure joy. This is where the patented Char-Broil TRU-Infrared™ cooking technology comes in. It aims to ensure that your barbecue will be the subject of praise among friends and family for many years to come. The name may sound complex, but the way this technology actually works is quite simple.
The secret of TRU-Infrared™ technology lies in the way the heat is transferred.
In conventional grills, the heat is not distributed evenly and therefore cooks at different speeds. These work with convection currents, in which heat is transferred through the air.
Moreover, there is an additional problem: The heated air removes moisture from the food and then simply evaporates. However, with TRU-Infrared™ technology this does not happen, as the air circulation is reduced.
Grills that have TRU-Infrared™ operate with infrared heat. Most Char-Broil brand models, whether gas or charcoal grills include this technology that provides the best barbecue results.
The patented infrared emitter converts the heat from the circulating air into radiant heat, which is then emitted directly and evenly onto the grill.
In a simple way, when the gas from the burner reaches the small holes in the grate, it slows down abruptly because it cannot pass quickly through such small holes. This slowing down makes it possible to transfer the heat to the metal, and a radiant surface is formed inside.
In this process, temperatures between 600 ºF and 800 ºF can be reached. The heat rise is done at a slow rate and therefore does not dry out the food. This ensures more moisture, and significantly improves the taste and texture of the food.
With this technology, you can enjoy advantages such as:
Formation of flames
The fat released from the food does not ignite, because the oxygen cannot penetrate between the meat and the hot surface where the fat is, in order to start a fire. This creates a barrier between the food and the flames. Not only do you prevent unpleasant flames, you also avoid cooking disasters.
100% uniform heat
Distributes heat evenly over the grill surface, eliminates hot and cold spots, and creates a consistent cooking temperature.
Up to 50% more succulent food
Heats food on the grill surface, retaining flavor that other grills miss. This means you will enjoy burgers much juicier, for example.
Easy to clean
The grid design of this system makes it easy to clean. Find suitable cleaning accessories here.
Up to 30% less gas consumption
Using this technology means significant savings in gas consumption.
The infrared emitter differs depending on the Char-Broil product line.
The Char-Broil ranges are unique and therefore the emitter grids and plates are different. The Performance line combines an emitter and a grid made of enameled steel. The Platinum line, on the other hand, consists of a two-piece system: an emitter plate and a grate made of durable stainless steel. The Professional line also has a two-piece system of the emitter plate made of stainless steel, and a grill made of porcelain-enamelled cast iron.
Once you try this technology, you won't want any other method. Treat yourself to a juicy barbecue with friends and family. Take a look at the range of barbecues with TRU-Infrared™ technology available at In & Out Cooking.
