Where does the flame burn on a ceramic tile infrared burner?

The flame on a ceramic tile infrared burner burns on the surface of the tiles. This design allows the tiles to reach high temperatures, which then radiates infrared heat efficiently to cook food. The ceramic material is specifically chosen for its ability to withstand high heat and to emit infrared radiation effectively.

When the burner is ignited, the gas is combusted, and the resulting heat elevates the tiles to a high temperature, transforming them into a radiant heat source. Cooking occurs primarily due to this direct surface heat rather than from a flame that is contained within a casing or produced at the bottom of the burner. This radiant heat provides a uniform cooking temperature, enhancing the performance of the burner and allowing for a more efficient cooking process.
