The key to a hearth oven’s great results is its unique ability to absorb heat and redistribute it evenly. Pressed at over 175 tons from cordierite, a sturdy, specialized blend of earthen materials, HearthKit is fired at over 2,300°F and has excellent conductive properties. Hearth Kit features two slightly curved sidepieces and a thick, tapered base designed to form a chamber much like that of a wood burning beehive or brick pizza oven. This balances the heat in the oven and releases it relentlessly back into the food, making it possible to safely bake or roast at higher temperatures without burning, or to slow cook more gently and evenly at lower temperatures.

Once Hearth Kit is heated to the desired temperature, it tends to remain at that level creating a highly stable heat platform. Thus, three types of heat — conductive, radiant and ambient — work together allowing you to cook your usual dishes with superior results; meats and poultry cook evenly and quickly, retaining their juiciness while breads with fabulous crusts rise to their fullest volume.
