<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Halogen Elements Are Sealed Under Glass.
Halogen cooktops have sealed halogen tubes that light and emit heat when electricity is applied. These tubes are under sealed glass panels on the cooktop. The cooktops are designed to focus the heat upward as the surrounding surface remains relatively cool to the touch.
On the Other: Infrared is a Frequency of Light..
Infrared radiation is a form of electro-magnetic radiation as is microwave just in a different frequency. It has a high thermal efficiency with fast heating rates and shorter response times. This provides a fast, safe cooking experience that is more energy efficient than other methods of cooking.
Bottom Line
Both infrared and halogen cooking technologies are safe for use. Both of these cooking methods offer additional advantages in energy savings and user safety since the heat is more controllable. Whichever technology you choose you will be able to serve good food without concern for the safety of the cooking method.
