True, although cooking meat "sous vide" (i.e. by conduction) seems to be becoming very fashionable in some circles!Lamb chops spring to mind...

The end of wet central heating?

That's just posh boil-in-a-bag, isn't it?
Almost, but at sub-boiling temperatures. If, for example, one wants the centre of one's meat to be at 60°, then one puts the meat (in its bag!) in a 60° thermostatically-controlled water bath and, no matter how long one leaves it there, the centre will never get hotter than that temperature. If you 'boiled in-a-bag' the centre would eventually get "very well done"!That's just posh boil-in-a-bag, isn't it?

Yes, I know.
As this has shifted towards cooking I can recommend this method of cooking.

The stone is very hot, either from an oven but in some places the stone is hollow with an electrical element inside it.
To get back on topic the radiant heat from the stone warms the face and hands.

You can blame BAS for that. I merely commented that I did not doubt that there were some valid applications for radiant heating - he's the one who brought lamb chops into that equation
However, the point in my post which started this remains. If one uses less heating energy, less will get heated. If it's the air in one's house that doesn't get heated (much), one has to decide whether this is something one is happy with (as the price for lower energy usage/costs). As I've said, I (and presumably you) are of an age that I can recall being huddled around radiant heat sources in cold houses!

I do recall the luxury of a single vertical bar radiant electric fire for my bedroom. Only in the winter when the windows froze over on the inside.
It made me feel warm while getting dressed but did very little to defrost the windows.
In the sitting room we had a three bar fire, vertical and pointing in three directions so three people could feel warm on the front, and chilly at the back.
