Infrared ovens cook rice quicker than a conventional oven -- without heating up your kitchen. Infrared ovens have a longer history in commercial cooking, in restaurants and manufacturing, than in home kitchens. They require less energy than conventional ovens, making them a more economical and eco-friendly method of cooking. The flavor and texture results are similar to a conventional oven. Convection ovens and newer ovens such as infrared counter top ovens use infrared heat to cook foods efficiently.
