LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Restaurant-style pizza has long been an aspiration for home chefs everywhere, but lacking has been a reliable way to achieve the perfect slice. Residential pizza oven options have run the gamut from cumbersome and complicated to convenient yet disappointing, spurring the development of the new Monogram® Pizza Oven.
Perfectly crisp crust. Browned, bubbling mozzarella. GE’s Monogram Pizza Oven brings restaurant-quality cooking capabilities to the home kitchen, enabling home chefs, entertainers, families and pizza enthusiasts to recreate their favorite pies—from the perfect Neapolitan to New York style and everything in between—quickly and with ease. Combining elegant Monogram styling and the sophisticated technology of FirstBuild, the Monogram Pizza Oven brings authentic old world taste to today’s high-end kitchens.
Simple installation. The Monogram Pizza Oven fits into the small space of a standard wall oven cavity, yet is spacious enough to fit a pizza peel and large pies for the whole family. Best of all, the Monogram Pizza Oven incorporates a compact interior ventilation system, requiring no special installation or construction—a one-of-a-kind feature.
On time, guaranteed. Worry not about delivery times from the local restaurant; the Monogram Pizza Oven can cook pizzas in just two minutes after a speedy 30 minute preheat.
Precision and power. Using regular electric power, the Monogram Pizza Oven delivers precise zone-controlled heating, enabling exact temperatures for your perfect pie.
App-enabled. Integrate the Monogram Pizza Oven into your digital ecosystem with available app-linking for pizza at the touch of a button from your smartphone.
The Monogram Pizza Oven was developed through FirstBuild™, a new model of manufacturing that challenges makers around the world to ideate and help design innovations in home appliances. As the high-end consumer appliance market continues its upward trajectory, the Monogram Pizza oven marks a significant early innovation and a sign of cutting edge products yet to come.
“We saw a considerable market gap when it came to the available at-home options for pizza enthusiasts and home chefs,” said Wayne Davis, commercial leader at FirstBuild. “Outdoor pizza ovens lacked convenience, and indoor options often require substantial ventilation. The Monogram Pizza Oven easily integrates into the luxury kitchen, offering professional-style pizzas any time.”
The Monogram Pizza Oven is available May 2016, with an MSRP of $9,900.
