An infra-red oven for cooking food at low wattage and with infra-red radiation having a wavelength of 3-6 micron is disclosed. The oven includes a rotatable turntable with a lower infra-red emitter disposed below the turntable and an upper infra-red emitter disposed above the turntable in a vertically moveable shroud. Opposed side emitters are deposed on either side of the turntable to cook the sides of the food. To utilize the oven the shroud is raised and food is placed on the turntable. The shroud is then lowered until the upper emitter is about 1.5 inches above the food and the turntable is rotated. Rotation continues as radiation is directed on to the lower and upper surfaces and the sides until the food is cooked.
