This energy is emitted by heating radiants located above the grid.
Infrared broilers have very fast preheat times as compared to standard over-fired broilers.
Temperature and cooking time is controlled by moving the grid up or down through several grid positions. This varies depending on the manufacturer and the type of fuel powering the broiler. Drip shields are located below the grids and move with the grid to collect grease and food particles. V-shaped channels deposit the liquid residue in a drip pan for disposal. They can also be mounted on a one-pan oven base, convection oven base, or a storage cabinet base.
