From searing steaks to smoking turkeys, this high-end grilling machine is the pinnacle of outdoor cooking. TEC’s infrared technology manufactures the only grill that cooks with 100% infrared energy. They have totally eliminated the hot air associated with grilling,
so food retains more of its own natural essence and comes off the grill with unparallel juiciness and a distinctive charbroiled flavor. You can
literally taste the difference. The radiant glass panels below the cooking grates are the secret to TEC’s juicy charbroiled flavor. They block rising hot air from the
burners, so it never reaches the food to dry it out or ignite food drippings. So you will rarely have a flare-up on a TEC grill.
Traditional Gas Grill - 0% Infrared & 100% Hot Air
- Traditional gas grills cook with 100% hot air, which robs food of its own natural juices
- Food begins to dry out and becomes tough, and even shrinks
- The convective burners in these grills cannot reach the searing temperatures of infrared grills
- They heat up and cook much slower
- The grates heat up unevenly which produces hot and cold spots
TEC's Old Infrared Technology - 35% Infrared & 65% Hot Air
- Infrared grills sold by other companies use TEC’s old ceramic infrared burners that cook with 35% infrared energy and 65% hot air
- Hot air dries out food as it cooks, which causes it to become tough and shrink
- It also causes food drippings to ignite, creating flare-ups that char food
- These grills do not heat the cooking grates evenly
- They cannot turn down to the lower temperatures needed to cook delicate foods or to smoke or barbecue low and slow
TEC's New Infrared Technology - 100% Infrared Cooking
- TEC manufactures the only grill that cooks with 100% infrared energy
- They have totally eliminated the hot air associated with grilling, so food retains more of its own natural essence
- Food comes off the grill with unparalleled juiciness and a distinctive charbroiled flavor
- You can literally taste the difference!
The TEC Advantage
It smokes. It sears. It barbecues low and slow. No hot air to
dry out food. Just moist, tender, juicy, charbroiled flavor. No flare-ups. No charring. No hot or cold spots. It heats up quickly and is easy to clean. From the
inventors of infrared grilling, the bar has been raised in outdoor cooking with this new, patented, 100% infrared grilling system!
Moist & Juicy
The more hot air a grill uses to cook food, the drier
it will be, and traditional gas grills cook with 100% hot air. Even other infrared grills use about 65% hot air (and 35% infrared). But TEC’s patented, 100% infrared
grilling system eliminates the hot air, so food retains up to 35% more of its own natural juices. The end result: tender, juicy food.
No Hot or Cold Spots
When you are cooking on a TEC Infrared Grill, you
don’t have to search for that sweet spot or worry about raw hamburgers or overcooked steak. The stainless steel burners are designed to distribute heat evenly across the
cooking grates. Every square inch of cooking surface is available for grilling, and temperatures at the grate can be controlled by the simple turn of a knob.
Energy Efficient
Laboratory tests show TEC’s patented grilling system uses
up to 50% less fuel than other gas grills. It burns faster and cleaner. In fact, you will get more than twice the grilling time on a standard LP gas cylinder. Made in America
and built using the finest grade of materials, including 304 stainless steel. TEC grills are built to last a lifetime.
History & Quality
TEC developed and introduced the world’s first infrared gas
grill in 1980. More than 30 years later, TEC’s first customers are still cooking on their very first grills because these grills are built to last a lifetime. TEC grills are handcrafted in America, using the finest materials available, including corrosive-resistant 304 stainless
steel. Virtually indestructible, the heavy-gauge construction contributes to the longevity and minimal maintenance of TEC grills.
Infrared 101
Everything in nature, including food, is surrounded by a moisture
boundary, a layer of air and water molecules. The hot air generated by other grills can not penetrate this boundary without disturbing it, so food is exposed to the drying
elements of hot air as it cooks. TEC grills cook with 100% infrared energy that does not disturb the moisture boundary, so food retains up to 35% more of its own natural juices and
remains tender and juicy.
