Abstract
A grilling compartment includes two tungsten-halogen lamps emissive of infra-red radiation and separated from a grilling area by a ceramic protective screen. Infra-red radiation emitted by the lamps passes through the protective screen to irradiate the grilling area to grill food placed therein. A metallic mesh screen is also provided between the lamps and the grilling area, only in close proximity to the lamps and configured to provide a substantially uniform distribution of intensity of infra-red radiation over substantially the whole of the grilling area.
