<p>A grill (100) includes a hot plate (102) on one side of which is a cooking surface (104) upon which food to be cooked is set. A heating unit (106) installed on the underside (108) of the hot plate is used to heat the grill so the cooking surface temperature is a desired temperature. The unit includes a radiant heating element (110) and a pan (114) in which the heating element is installed. A cavity (C) defined by the underside of the grill, a sidewall (118) of the pan, and a top surface (122) of an insulation material (120) in which the heating element is supported, is heated to a uniform temperature across the cavity, and the grill is heated to this temperature. This uniformity of temperature results in food placed anywhere on the grill rapidly heating to a desired temperature and the food being cooked uniformly throughout.</p> |
