The Infrared Pizza Oven Rack accessory turns your TEC Grill into an infrared oven. So not only can you grill pizza as you may expect, but also bake just about anything on your grill too. It’s available for the Sterling Patio FR barbecue.
What makes the TEC Infrared Pizza Oven Rack so unique is our 100% infrared heat. TEC discovered that infrared heat makes a pizza crust crisp but does not dry it out. The 304 stainless steel, infrared rack raises the cooking surface of the pizza above the grates to slow down the cooking process so that the crust and top of the pizza cook evenly. The large open area of our perforated cooking surface allows the maximum amount of infrared heat to reach the food, which results in the outside getting nice and crispy while the inside stays moist and juicy.
Here are some of our favourite things to use Infrared Pizza Oven Rack for.
PIZZAS, FLATBREADS AND FOCCACIA
Of course, the obvious thing you can make on the Infrared Pizza Oven Rack is pizza! Try using fresh dough, flatbread, or making it in a pan. Or simply grab a frozen pizza from the store. Any way you grill it, your pizza will come out perfect every time with a crispy crust and juicy toppings.
BISCUITS, BREAD AND CINNAMON ROLLS
Given how delicious pizza dough turns out on the Infrared Pizza Oven Rack, it’s not surprising that other breads are perfect when cooked on it too. Try fresh or frozen biscuits, rolls and cinnamon rolls. If you’re using frozen dough, you can place it directly on the rack. If you’re using fresh dough or small pieces of dough, you might want to put them on a sheet of parchment paper or on a sheet pan.
But you can also bake loaves of bread on it with the help of the TEC Infrared Meatloaf Pan. Once again, you will find that the outside of the bread gets a nice golden brown crispy crust, while the inside is light, fluffy and not dried out.
COOKIES, CAKES, COBBLERS, PIES AND BROWNIES
You can also bake all kinds of desserts on the Infrared Pizza Oven Rack too. Think of it as your new outdoor oven, and use it just like you would use the oven in your kitchen. There is a wide variety of things that you can cook using your Pizza Rack, think cakes, cupcakes, brownies and also things like cobblers, crisps and even apple pie. Just make sure that you use a metal or cast iron pan for baking, and not a ceramic pan.
Cookies are delicious on the Infrared Barbecue. From chocolate chip to oatmeal to white chocolate macadamia! You’re going to find that they are a little crispy around the edges, but soft and chewy inside. Use a cookie sheet or piece of parchment to hold the cookies so that they don’t fall through the holes of the rack.
FRIES, POTATOES, EGG ROLLS AND ONION RINGS
The next time you are thinking of pulling out a fryer or a messy pan full of oil, pull out your Infrared Pizza Oven Rack instead. Infrared heat really works wonders on these kinds of foods by crisping up the outside while keeping the inside moist and juicy. No oil required!
For smaller items like French fries, you might want to put them on a piece of baking paper or on a sheet pan so they don’t fall through the holes of the rack. For larger things like egg rolls, you can put them directly on the rack.
