Is the infrared element made of ceramic? What is the element's size?

Yes, ceramic. I don't have it here, but I'll guess it's about 12" x 4". It's very well made.

The infrared burner are made of ceramic. The product has 155 square inches of burning area.

The burner is ceramic. The dimensions of the burner assembly are 12.5" x 7", with the size of the ceramic itself being about a half inch less all around.

I have the unit packed-up, so I can't measure it, but I'll tell you one thing, that thing gets radioactive hot, right away. I was really impressed by the construction and the performance, and I have owned LOTS of grills over the decades. It's a fantastic little unit, and I had the dough, I'd get one of their big ones for the backyard.

The element appeared to be ceramic. I do not know the size. I had issues with the one I ordered and returned it. My experience was that the unit was unsafe. It would make a loud (and startling) popping sound and blow itself out routinely. I called the company and they did not seem interested in fixing the problem or hearing what was causing it. A group of engineers (me among them) took it apart and figured out what we thought was wrong. I would encourage you to look elsewhere based upon my experience with the device and the people who make it.

This wont let me send you a picture. The gas bistro has a stainless infrared grate. The electric bistro has a porcelain coated grate. Both have small slits in the grate that keeps it from flaring up and gives it the infrared cooking.Thanks, Bunk 247 Grills

It's not ceramic. It's made out of some kind of plastic. It definitely stands up to the heat of cooking though.

Infrared, I believe. It fires up, then the bricks glow. It's not one of those units where you continually see the blue flames on the bottom, no.

Your question perplexed me, but I had some free time, so I thought I'd try to answer the question. I'm assuming that this item was once called an "Induction" cooktop, but it's definitely not that (and it looks like the name has been changed to reflect that). It's infrared, like the electric stove cooktops with glass tops. For those who want some information on the difference between infrared and induction, take a look at this link: http://www.ehow.com/facts_7862883_induction-vs-infrared-cooktop.html The article states that induction cooktops only work with ferromagnetic material. The description of this item states it "Works with all types of cookware including glass and aluminum" and my personal experience shows that it does. I've been very pleased with this cooktop.

Unless it breaks I don't know but it appears to be Ceramic as I look at mine. It's a great ashtray.

Mr Insurance they are not ceramic. They are a heavey plastic similar to 1950's material. My son says they work great and look good. He is using them at college for late night study food.

Lance, It's about the size and weight of a red brick with a really good, solid aluminum case with an adjustable hood. However, I wouldn't even CONSIDER purchasing this product as it is a real piece of C**P! EXTREMELY difficult to set up on wireless (almost have to be an IT tech) and the infrared is terrible at night. It says 60' range, but I can't see even at 45' at night in my patio. It has a really narrow field of view. Also, it just quit working after 2 months. I had a Dropcam inside my home, so I bought 2 more of them, put 'em outside and haven't had a problem since. 1 minute set up on each one.

No, it is Jade. The disks that are heated are made of green jade which give off Far Infrared waves. Very relaxing, soothing, and healing. We love ours.

It stated as ceramic, I can't identify ceramic or Teflon. Anyway, it looks very good, easy to cook, easy to clean. I love it!

True, Sharon, the IR unit is mostly metal and quite heavy on account of that. Make no mistake, however, it is imported from China nonetheless!

It made of ceramic. Seems like very durable, like in my auto coffee machine.

Yes, but just as a reference point. It is not directly aligned with the infrared sensor.

I do not know, but I noticed that the -CAL is described as ceramic and I don't think the regular one is. But do not take my word for it!

It is ceramic on the inside except for the plate on the bottom that heats the water. That plate looks to me like stainless steel.

Thanks for checking with AquaRain. The ceramic filter elements are patented and made right here in the United States!

The description on the box indicates " nano titanium plates with ceramic Heater ". It does not provide further details
