• "It gives me confidence. The precise heat ensures superb baking results every time. It's the brick oven I've always wanted - the oven that every cook deserves. …it is the most important piece of new kitchen equipment since the Cuisinart."

• "Baking with the HearthKit Oven Insert fulfills all the potential you put into your bread. It consistently gives me loaves with the same color, texture and flavor as my $60,000 steam-injected professional oven. Not to mention perfect chickens and roasts."

• "…the pizzas from the HearthKit are excellent. The dough sprang up perfectly and had a bumpy, blistered surface from the fast rising steam."

• "Over the years, I've tried various recipes for baking nans none of them satisfying, until the HearthKit came along. The heated ceramic base becomes part of the authentic flavor and texture of the nan, distributing a mellow fragrance that permeates the soft, moist, puffy nan, just as it should be. Furthermore, you can taste the sear and sizzle in every bite of tandoori chicken and tandoori leg of lamb. I highly recommend the Hearthkit for my native tandoori-style cooking."

• "I've been baking for three decades, and first baked in a wood-fired brick oven more than twenty years ago. For all this time, I've been searching for a way to replicate the effects of a brick oven in my home kitchen. With the HearthKit, I can bake bread at home that's as good as from any traditional hearth oven."

• "I have had the opportunity to use most of the best ovens designed for hearth-baking. The HearthKit removes all of the baking limitations that home-bakers once had. Many comment when visiting an excellent bakery or pizzeria, that you become forever spoiled after eating there. Well, spoil yourself at home and use a HearthKit."

• "Even though I am a professional baker, I do not have the capability of producing the kind of baked goods at home that I do in my bakery. However, on Father's Day, I made bread in my home oven in the HearthKit. The crust was wonderful and thick, and to my surprise, the bread was as good as if it were baked in my professional deck oven!"
