They heat the air, and then the air (hopefully) heats your dough. It’s a slow, clunky process. We do things differently. We swap those out for short-wave infrared (IR) quartz bulbs. It completely changes how the heat actually hits your pizza.</p> <h2 id="ir-vs-the-old-way">IR vs. The Old Way</h2> <p>Think about it like this. With resistive coils, you’re spending a ton of energy just heating up the empty air inside the oven. It&rsquo;s a waste. Infrared is different. It sends out electromagnetic radiation that goes <a href="https://o-yate.com">straight</a> into the food. You aren&rsquo;t waiting around for the air to get hot because the heat transfer happens<strong>instantly</strong>. In a busy kitchen, that&rsquo;s a huge win. Your pre-heat times vanish, and your electricity bill takes a hit because you&rsquo;re using fewer kilowatt-hours per cycle.</p>
