Infrared oven cooking uses electromagnetic energy to heat up and cook food. The type of food used for cooking in an infrared oven requires different times. When food is radiated with infrared waves, the food is cooked from the inside out, which allows it to retain its natural flavors and juices.
In conduction cooking the heat surrounds the food and produces a golden brown on the outside, and even cooking on the inside. Convection circulates the heat around the food, but this type of cooking takes longer than infrared.
