INFRA RED BURNERS – How do they work?

OK, Infra Red Burners and how do they work?

These burners are very different from the normal cast iron ones, they are more delicate and more expensive. I have received a lot of requests from people asking me if they are any good, well the answer is YES!

How they work….Infra Red is how our Sun works, it heats only what it hits, a normal burner for example with a flame, heats the moisture in the air, and the air which then travels to the food, so its the moisture and air that effectively cooks your food.

Infra Red is another part of the spectrum, it heats only what it hits so it treats the air and moisture in the air as invisible thereby saving energy and ‘searing’ your food rather than burning it. Obviously, if you leave it on the grill for a long time it will burn but there is less chance….

    Pizza Base Recipe – I get asked for recipes all the time and found that I haven’t done one for a Pizza base so I thought I would put this one on the Website. Its not hard, just follow the recipe and surprisingly, it works!!

    This pizza dough can be made by hand with 5 to 10 minutes of kneading, or the lazier way is to use a mixer with a dough hook for a few minutes (a lot faster!) It makes a pizza crust…
