Abstract
An electric grill and method, and an electrically-powered heat radiating module which is removably or permanently positioned in the grill housing. The heat radiating module includes one or more electric heating elements which are preferably contained within a shallow heating cavity which is at least 95% closed to air flow into or out of the heating cavity and is also preferably insulated. Fat and water drippings from the food product flow around the heat radiating module rather than into the heating cavity. An infrared cooking grate assembly with a food support grate positionable on an emitter plate is also provided.
