A high efficiency infrared carousel oven includes(a) an oven housing including at least one opening for removal and insertion of products to be processed, the opening providing a continuous and uninterrupted fluid communication between a hollow interior of the housing and the atmosphere; (b) a continuously rotatable horizontal food item support panel having a high thermal capacity reservoir; (c) beneath the food item panel, a heat source in thermal communication with a bottom or interior surface of the panel in which heating capacity of the source increases progressively as a function of increase of radius from an axis of rotation of the food item panel; and (d) at an upper and distal location within the oven housing and above a plane defined by the food item panel, at least one infrared radiant heating source to transmit infrared radiation downwardly to a distal area of the rotating supporting panel to define a region of intensified heating. A method of oven cooking uses a high efficiency infrared carousel oven.
