Or how a pastry can be golden brown on the outside without being dried out into a cracker? That&rsquo;s all about the Maillard reaction. It’s a finicky process that only happens in a very specific temperature window. If your oven spends too much time idling in the middle, you end up cooking the life out of your food before the surface even starts to brown. That&rsquo;s why we use shortwave infrared (IR) lamps. Instead of waiting around, these lamps hit the food with a burst of radiant energy. You get that browning in seconds.</p>
