  • <h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Infrared Cooking is Perfectly Safe

    Infrared cooking is safe as long as normal food preparation precautions are followed. In fact, since infrared cooking heats food faster and hotter, and heats the inside at the same rate as the outside, it is more likely to kill any dangerous bacteria on the food.

    On the Other: Problems with Infrared Cooking

    Infrared cooking is powerful and will require more attention than other methods of cooking. It is easy to overcook and ruin food because of the higher temperatures and the different amounts of time needed for cooking. However, once you have gotten used to cooking with infrared heat it will be a safe and convenient way to prepare tasty meals.

    Bottom Line

    Infrared cooking is safe, convenient and has advantages over conduction and convection heating. It holds moisture in the food, which enhances the flavor, and it cooks the food up to 50 percent faster than the other methods. Since it holds the moisture in the food, no oils or fats need to be added, which makes for healthier cooking.
