A cooking appliance (10) for grilling food products has a griddle plate (11) and a heating assembly (20) that contains a non-contact infrared heating element (30) to achieve uniform plate temperatures, fast initial warming times and fast recovery times. The heating element is situated in a cavity (29) formed by thermal insulating material (27) in the assembly. When the assembly (20) is secured to the griddle plate (11), there is a space (29) between the heater element (30) and the griddle plate (11) to allow infrared radiation heat transfer to heat the griddle plate. The insulating material has a relatively high insulating factor so as to minimize heat loss and reduce energy usage.
