CUISINART IS BRINGING TO THE TABLE. . .
Brick Ovens
Cuisinart is bringing artisanal cooking to the kitchen with two new brick ovens
that allow consumers to create everything from Focaccia Romana to Fresh Berry
Tart. The company’s new models are the Cuisinart
Brick Oven Classic (model no. BRK-100) and Brick Oven
Deluxe (model no. BRK-200) − fully-functional
toaster oven/broilers that bake, broil and toast. The Brick Oven Deluxe also
has a convection feature, which can cook foods up to 30% faster than
conventional ovens. From toasting
English muffins to broiling lobster tails and baking quiche, Cuisinart’s brick
ovens offer consumers options for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
What to Look for When Purchasing a Brick Oven:
Power:
Cuisinart’s
new brick ovens deliver 1700 watts of power and are capable of reaching 500
degrees Fahrenheit. The products are designed with authentic brick interiors
that raise the intensity and consistency of the heat, which translates to
restaurant-quality results like crispier crusts for pies and pastry, and
browner, juicier meats.
The brick
ovens have nearly one cubic foot of interior cooking space so they are able to accommodate
a whole 12” pizza or a 5-pound chicken.
At
the core of Cuisinart’s Brick Oven construction is the brick interior, which
ensures that the internal temperature is maintained throughout the cooking
process. In addition to the brick inserts that are permanently built into the
sides of the oven, each oven has a removable baking stone that absorbs excess
moisture and distributes heat evenly. This is especially good news for pizza
lovers, since the end result is a delicious pizza parlor crust that strikes the
perfect balance between a crispy, golden exterior and chewy, tender interior.
Cuisinart’s
Brick Oven Series also provides a solution for several domestic challenges -
like limited kitchen or oven space when entertaining a crowd. Each unit comes
with two racks for multi-level cooking. For added convenience, the ovens have a
nonstick coating that covers the areas without bricks to facilitate easy
cleanup. Other user-friendly features include a baking/broiling pan with drip
tray, and a slide-out crumb tray. The
brick ovens also come with a Cuisinart Test Kitchen recipe book that highlights
a variety of appetizers, entrées, breads, and desserts.
Each
oven has industrial style brushed stainless steel housing, for an attractive
look when displayed on the countertop. In addition, the oven’s tinted glass
door makes a complementary design statement.
