The 1951 stove that had infrared light

In january 1951 Sylvania Electric Products presented a revolutionary looking stove. Except this small pamphlet i couldn't find any proof that this was put on the market. This stove has an interesting feature. New infrared lamps developed by the Sylvania company, that also functioned as heating units. This specially tough infrared bulb was mounted beneath a translucent stove lid. Instead of conducting heta to a pot, as electric coild so, the buld radaites heat to the pot through the lid, which is colored red b ecause other colors block most infrared rays. Unlike coils, which warm gradually, lamps radiate full blast at the flick of a switch.
