The Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the largest in US history, still tops the headlines. No one knows the fallout of this disaster which has already impacted so many lives. Last week the United States crude oil inventory fell to a four month low. With the US dependency on foreign oil inevitable, a change in grilling habits and perceptions are long overdue.
If the US market shifted from traditional grills to green grills that performed at a higher level of efficiency, 100 million barrels of crude oil and billions of dollars could be saved per year. Even billions more saved in propane. Green grilling, with an electric grill, delivers full grilling power at a fraction of the energy cost.
According to the HPBA (Hearth Patio & Barbeque Association) there are approximately 59 million gas grills owned by US households. If the usage averages 60,000 BTUs grilling 2 hours a week equals a whole barrel of crude oil. Led with a goal of reducing energy consumption in mind, The Outdoor Greatroom Company developed electric grills such as the Cook Number Grills.
Not only the environment is impacted by grilling over the gas grill’s open flame, medical researchers continue to study the health impact. Mounting research suggests a link between eating meats grilled over an open flame, especially those that are well done, and the risk for some types of cancer, including breast and colonrectal. The patented Cook Number System virtually eliminates the smoke containing carcinogens that arises coating the food when fat and meat juices fall into a flame. Since carcinogens continue to build as meat stays on the grill, electric barbecue grills with built-in cooking settings, found on the Cook Number electric grill, allows you to pre-select the cook time reducing time under the hood and avoiding overcooking altogether.
