Cozytime debuts grill that uses light to cook "four times faster than fire"
Tech company Cozytime has debuted a grilling and roasting device that uses infrared light to cook food and senses food type using AI, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Lumo is a table-top cooking device created to offer an alternative to traditional flame grills, so that users can cook indoors while delivering "restaurant-level excellence".
The device uses far-infrared heat, similar to an infrared sauna, to cook everything from pizza, fish and steak by directing beams of light at an object. It reaches up to 1800 watts.
An AI sensor also detects "meat type, thickness, temperature and weight" and creates a custom cooking strategy, according to Cozytime, all of which can be monitored and adjusted via an app.
"Lumo's light-powered heating cooks cleaner, more accurately and four times faster than fire, and requires no preheating," said Cozytime.
"Even on cold winter days or during rainy weather, you can still enjoy juicy, full-flavoured American slow-cook BBQ right indoors."
The device can be configured i three different modes – a small, enclosed oven, a tabletop grill similar to a George Foreman, or it can be hinged open completely to create two grilling surfaces.
And while it cooks meat to "tender perfection", users can also add a small clump of wood chips to create a smoked flavour via a small sliding side compartment.
Cozytime also said its components are detachable and washable, making clean-up easier than traditional outdoor grilling.
Other devices and tech exhibited at CES 2026 include a vibrating chef's knife by Seattle Ultrasonics and an AI-powered home robot that takes care of household chores.
