TRU-Infrared™ grills from Char-Broil: Grilling with Tru-Infrared™ cooking technology
What is TRU-Infrared™?
The secret of our unique TRU-Infrared™ cooking technology lies in how it transfers heat. Conventional gas grills use convective air circulation. This transfers the heat through the air, causing the hot air to remove important moisture from the barbecued food and dry it out. This type of heat transfer is similar to that of a hair dryer.
In contrast, TRU-Infrared™ cooking technology produces infrared heat rather than convective heat. When you grill food on one of our TRU-Infrared™ grills, a sophisticated system comprised of a combustion chamber, burners, infrared emitters and the grates converts the heat into infrared heat, a form of radiant heat, which is transferred directly to the food on the grill. As a result, the air circulates less and does not dry out the food. The infrared heat seals in the moisture of the food being grilled and significantly increases its flavour. What’s more, it produces barbecued food that is up to 50% juicier than that from conventional grills. In addition to stainless steel gas grills, our range naturally also features several charcoal grills.
Advantages of TRU-Infrared™ grills compared to conventional grills
On a conventional grill, the air circulation results in uneven heat distribution, which in turn causes the food being grilled to cook at different speeds. TRU-Infrared™ grills, on the other hand, use infrared emitters to evenly distribute the heat over the entire grill surface, where it is transferred to the food being cooked. This is not only more efficient but also provides you with perfectly barbecued delicacies.
Another factor that makes our innovative cooking technology so special is that with no open flames, there’s no risk of burnt food! With our barbecues, flare-ups are a thing of the past. Take a look at our handy guide full of top tips for grilling with infrared.
Here are the advantages of our TRU-Infrared™ cooking technology at a glance:
- Up to 50% juicier barbecued food
- Up to 30% more economical
- 100% even heat distribution
- No flare-ups: the technology prevents flames from leaping up
- Easy to clean*
* These results are based on an objective study conducted by an independent laboratory in the USA in 2011, in which the grilling properties of a TRU-Infrared™ grill were compared with those of a conventional gas barbecue.
