The invention discloses an infrared porous plate and a method for producing the same. The components of a blank body of the infrared porous plate in weight percent are: 35 to 55 percent of cordierite, 0.5 to 7 percent of clay, 0.5 to 5 percent of sintering aid, 30 to 45 percent of pore-forming material, 2 to 10 percent of lubricant, 0.5 to 3.5 percent of organic assistant and 5 to 15 percent of water. The method for manufacturing the infrared porous plate comprises the following: a processing step of raw material preparation, a processing step of molding and a processing step of drying. The method has the advantages of no need of dewaxing, relatively simple process, lower labor intensity, lower cost, and high product qualification rate reaching 90 percent.
