Instead of using traditional wood or gas stoves, many families are now choosing to use electric stoves as the best cooking equipment for their homes to save fuel, ensure the safety of their families and avoid harmful The risk of fire. However, many homemakers still want to know if there are any health implications of using an infrared stove? Today, META will help you answer this question!

Structure and working principle of infrared cooker
The working principle of an infrared cooker is based on the thermal effect of infrared light. Based on this property, infrared cookers use halogen bulbs or carbon fiber coils arranged as heating plates. The passage of electric current causes the halogen bulb or carbon fiber to emit light and emit high brightness, mainly infrared radiation. A glass surface is used above the stove to concentrate and focus the energy of the infrared light.
Infrared stoves are used for fast cooking.
The structure of an infrared cooktop consists of the main cooktop and other auxiliary parts: The main kitchen surface is a light filter that allows only infrared light to pass through and generate heat. The cooktop is made of Plexiglas or ceramic and is combined with a spotlight mirror and a control panel and display. This heat is concentrated in the cooking pot above the hob, helping to reduce the amount of heat generated, creating maximum heat for the cooking process, increasing cooking speed, saving cooking time and saving energy.
The infrared kitchen bulb has a temperature of about 250-600 degrees Celsius, just like the light and heat emitted by the sun through space. This is enough to cook a variety of different foods with fast and effective cooking times.

What is infrared light?
Infrared stoves work thanks to the thermal radiation of infrared light. So what is infrared light? In fact, infrared light has the ability to produce heat, i.e. heat rays, which are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light (visible) but shorter than microwave radiation (found in microwave ovens). (microwave). Infrared in infrared means “beyond red” and is invisible to the naked eye.
In addition to being used to generate heat in infrared ovens, it has long been used for therapeutic, health and beauty purposes. Infrared light will be harmful when it comes into direct contact with the human body, but if you know how to use it properly, it will bring many benefits and uses. Let’s learn more about the uses of infrared light for human health with META!
Uses of infrared light
Infrared light is a source of high temperature, so the greatest effect of infrared light is mainly the heat effect. Using infrared light on wounds can help them heal quickly. Because of the thermal effect of infrared light, it helps to relieve pain, fight chronic inflammation, soften muscles, reduce pain and stop bruising.
Infrared light is also an effective solution in cosmetology. It is commonly used in beauty salon centers …… with products such as hair removal machines.
In addition, infrared heaters and infrared bath lights are popular products used in many homes on cold days, especially for families with children.
Using infrared stoves in cooking can help users cook faster, more economically and cleaner. In addition, infrared cookers do not produce smoke and do not produce harmful gases such as carbon dioxide. Users do not feel uncomfortable while cooking, which ensures health and protects the environment.
Advantages of using infrared cooker
Using infrared cooker helps to save energy.
No smoke and no carbon dioxide gas: When you operate the stove, the stove produces infrared rays with high heat to heat the stove, and the pots and pans placed on the stove will be heated from it for you to cook. The entire operation of the stove produces no flame, no smoke, and no carbon dioxide that adversely affects the user’s breathing or produces unpleasant gases like gas stoves do.
No charge, no radiation, no leakage: the infrared rays that pass through the stove top have only one effect, and that is to produce heat, which is completely non-toxic.
Concentrated heat and energy saving: The advantage of this type of electric stove is the maximum heat saving. If the heat loss rate of gas stoves is up to 60%, in infrared stoves this rate is only about 10% due to the intelligent operation mechanism where the heat is concentrated in a fixed area on the stove.
Easy to clean and user-friendly: The kitchen surface is made of tempered glass and the glass layer not only helps the kitchen to work better but also helps the housewife to clean the kitchen more easily. After cooking, with a stain you just need to wipe it with a soft damp cloth and the cooktop will be cleaned immediately.
It is safe and healthy to use infrared cooktop.
Precautions when using infrared cooktop
From the moment you buy an infrared cooktop, you should choose an infrared cooktop with a real glass surface, with patterned lines and translucent lines to help filter the infrared light optimally when the user comes in contact with it.
Use the correct pan bottom size to fit the halogen cooking zone. Note that covering the bottom of the pan in the cooking zone is the best way to prevent your eyes from seeing the light emitted by the stove.
Never touch the cooking zone when cooking or just turning off the stove to avoid burning your hands.
Do not unplug the stove when you turn it off. Because the cooking circle is still hot at this point, turning off the stove will cause the cooling fan to stop working. If the power is unplugged immediately, it will reduce the life of the internal components of the stove and reduce the service life of the stove.
The kitchen should be cleaned and sanitized regularly to avoid long-term plaque thickening, which limits the heat transfer process of the stove.
