The TRU-Infrared Grill Emitter Plate Grates are a key component of Char-Broil's TRU-Infrared grill cooking system, designed to provide even heat distribution and prevent flare-ups during grilling. Here's how they work and their functions:
Function:
- Even Heat Distribution: The emitter plate grates are designed to distribute heat evenly for the cooking surface. This helps in cooking food more evenly without hot spots.
- Prevention of Flare-Ups: Traditional grills maybe flare-ups when juices or water drip onto the fire flames. The emitter plate grates can prevent these flare-ups by vaporizing the drippings, grease and water, and reducing the probability of sudden bursts of flame.
- Infrared Cooking: the grate converts the heat generated by the burner into infrared heat. Then, the infrared heat is evenly radiated to the cooking surface, which helps to cook food faster and more effectively.
How It Works:
- Design: The emitter plate grates typically consist of stainless steel or another durable material that can withstand high temperatures. They are positioned just above the burner or between the burner and the cooking grates.
- Heat Emission: As the burner heats up, it heats the emitter plate grates. These grates then radiate infrared heat upwards towards the food on the cooking grates. This infrared heat cooks the food directly and evenly, similar to the way sunlight heats objects.
- Vaporization: Any drippings from the food that fall onto the emitter plate grates are vaporized due to the high heat. This not only prevents flare-ups but also adds flavor back into the food in the form of smoke and vapors.
How to Use:
Preheat the Grill: Turn on your TRU-Infrared grill and allow it to preheat with the lid closed. This ensures that the emitter plate grates reach the desired cooking temperature.
Place Food on Grates: Once the grill is preheated, place your food directly on the cooking grates above the emitter plate grates. Adjust the temperature as needed.
Monitor and Adjust: Because TRU-Infrared grills cook efficiently and evenly, you may find that you need to adjust your cooking times compared to traditional grills. Monitor your food closely to achieve the desired level of doneness.
Cleaning: After each use, clean the emitter plate grates along with the cooking grates to remove any food residues or drippings. This helps maintain the efficiency and longevity of the grill.
TRU-Infrared grill radiant panel grille aims to evenly distribute heat throughout the cooking surface and eliminate hot and cold spots. This means that your food is cooked more evenly, resulting in more juicy and more delicious food. In addition, infrared technology helps to prevent sudden outbreaks, flare-ups, and gives you better control over the cooking process. The working principle of these grilles is to convert heat into infrared energy and then radiate it evenly to the cooking surface. This infrared energy penetrates food, cooks from the inside out, and locks in moisture and flavor. You can cook delicious food perfectly every time.
Whether you're grilling up steaks, burgers, chicken, or veggies, the Emitter Plate Grates will take your outdoor cooking to new heights. Say goodbye to uneven cooking and flare-ups, and hello to juicy, flavorful meals that will impress your family and friends.
