Infrared (IR) seems to be gaining popularity as a cooking medium (I spotted about fifteen IR ovens in a few different comparison shopping engines), but chances are, people (including myself) don't know very much about IR cooking - how effective it is, how it works and whether or not it'll work as a replacement for an oven or a microwave. Fortunately, we have the Internets, in the form of a review of the Black & Decker InfraWave Speed Cooking Oven by Eric Sofge of Popular Mechanics. While I get the feeling we won't be trading in our microwaves and gas ovens anytime soon, it's good to know cooking technology is making some advances. You can read the review here.
