TEC grills are made by a company that has been in business for over forty years, developing applications for infrared radiant energy. In 1961, TEC (Thermal Engineering Corporation) invented a highly efficient ceramic infrared burner and they have blossomed to become known as "the infrared experts".

With over thirty worldwide patents, TEC is a workhorse in the community. The company invented the firs infrared grill, introducing the gas grill with concealed fuel tanks in 1980. With a channeled grid system for cooking, the grills from TEC retain the natural flavor and juices of the foods that are grilled. TEC has also invented the glass infrared cooking system, developed the first portable infrared grill, and introduced both the electric and all metal flare-resistant infrared grills and cooking systems.

With infrared technology, grills are able to heat up faster, cook evenly across the cooking surfaces, and use less fuel. Radiant energy – that which is produced by infrared – does not need to transfer heat through any medium, but rather produces its heat by exciting (moving) the molecules themselves within the food. Think, for instance, of rubbing your two hands together. As you rub them together, heat is produced; this is similar to how the electronic molecules within foodstuffs are exciting when heated with radiant energy.

TEC has won numerous awards for their technological advances in the grilling field.

• 2005 they won the "Hearth and Home Magazine" Vesta Award for Best New Barbecue and Best In Show for New Outdoor Room Products.
• 2006 TEC won the "Kitchen Innovations" award from the National Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show with the TEC Searmaster II Infrared Charbroiler.
• 2006 brought them the GFEN "Blue Flame" Product of the year Award
• 2006 was nominated by the International Academy of Science for Outstanding Technology of the Year Award for its G400FR model.

There are many other advantages to cooking with a TEC infrared grill.

• 100% stainless steel burners are extremely durable, able to handle the heat output of the grill.
• Uniform heat distribution is provided so that the entire cooking surface is heated by varying the sizes, shapes, and locations of the apertures. There is only a 5% or less variance in temperature.
• Flare proof resistance is brought to the consumer by the metal burner. This burner operates with 100% primary air. Without a secondary source, there are no flare-ups.
• Range of cooking intensity has a wide range so that you can grill virtually anything with the TEC grills. Temperatures are 300ºF – 900ºF.
• Gas efficient, the TEC grills use up to 50% less gas than any other grill.

The TEC Searmaster II offers a great return on investment with savings through gas, labor, and food cost while producing delectable meals. Even if you choose 'well done" for your steak, the food will still be juicy, with less than 30% shrinkage. This model is practically maintenance free.

The Sterling series grills from TEC come in several models, great for the outdoor kitchens. Made with 14 and 18 gauge 304 stainless steel, a lifetime warranty covers these 100% stainless steel grills. You needn't worry about rust or dents, and it comes with casters for easy moving.
