Infrared grills
Even though infrared grills are not a completely new technology, it is still uncommon to find them. The fact is, not a lot of people know about them and even fewer know anything about their history.
Bill Best, who is the founder of Thermal Electric Corp., developed a technology in the 1960s that allowed auto workers a faster way to dry paint on cars. This technology then evolved into being able to create quicker infrared grills fro high-quality cooks and some wealthy consumers.
These items were sold to those who could afford them over the next few decades until Best’s patent ran out in 2000. It was then that other companies began to focus more on marketing these items to homeowners.
The one negative that presented itself is that the ceramic material included with these grills could be very difficult to clean and were also prone to producing sparks or , even worse, catching on fire.
Adjustments were made and now companies are marketing safer versions of these infrared grills to those who are interested. While the ownership among homeowners has increased since 2007, purchasing these items has still been a concern for many homeowners since then simply because the price is still a good deal more than most average weekend grillers can afford.
