Hestan Unveils Campania Pizza Oven
Hestan has unveiled its latest product for the residential outdoor kitchen, the Campania Pizza Oven. Inspired by the region of Italy recognized for the invention of pizza, the Campania Pizza Oven marries rustic, artisanal quality with modern innovation and exceptional design.
Comprised of a heavy gauge stainless steel exterior, interior double-walled body construction, a 3/4″ thick ceramic cooking hearth stone, and an efficient and powerful gas-fired radiant burner, the Campania Pizza Oven achieves and retains optimal cooking temperatures quickly with industry-leading efficiency. Its heavy-duty ceramic hearth stone creates a charred artisan crust, while the oven’s unique dome shape traps and recirculates heat for an even cook.
The 449-square-inch ceramic cooking surface accommodates both shareable and personal-sized pizzas, and can be removed from the unit for a thorough cleaning between uses. Its radiant burner technology not only creates natural convection heat for perfectly-baked pizza, but also produces high-intensity infrared rays for roasting or searing meats and vegetables.
The oven comes equipped with an attractive stainless steel cooking cavity front cover, topped with an elegant wood handle, to protect the inside of the oven when not in use, as well as an artisanal stainless steel pizza peel to help you safely insert, remove, and rotate pizza or other food items around the oven.
The Campania Pizza Oven is available in a classic stainless steel finish, or in Hestan’s 12 signature color and finish options, and can be installed as a countertop unit to complement a full outdoor kitchen, or built into a non-combustible structure.

Signature Kitchen Suite Delivers Culinary Precision with Pro-Range Expansion
Signature Kitchen Suite, which is gaining momentum as a pioneer of culinary advancements in the luxury built-in appliance segment, is expanding its pro-range line, including new gas ranges and the addition of sous-vide cooking modality to more models this year. These new products are among the luxury kitchen appliances featured at PCBC, the official trade show of the Leading Builders of America.
Highlighting the brand’s show-stopping innovations for the professional market at PCBC 2019, Signature Kitchen Suite General Manager Zach Elkin said, “Signature Kitchen Suite is setting the new standard in the luxury appliance category with a broad array of versatile, award-winning appliances that allow homebuilders to create a customized experience for today’s high-end kitchen designs.”
Culinary Precision for Today’s Progressive Technicurean Home Chef
The fresh new luxury appliance brand has gained acclaim from professionals and consumers alike for its award-winning sous vide pro-ranges. The sequel to Signature Kitchen Suite’s industry-first 48-inch pro range with built-in sous vide is the new 36-inch dual-fuel, sous-vide pro range designed to provide more versatility for forward-thinking Technicurean™ home chefs. Consistent with the brand’s “True to Food” mission, the new 36-inch range will offer the same benefits as the award-winning 48-inch model, delivering the ultimate precision cooking experience for home chefs.
Once limited to the pros, sous-vide is a cooking technique that utilizes precise temperature control to deliver consistent, restaurant-quality results. Sous-vide has been the go-to method in some of the world’s best restaurants for years, and for good reason: it brings food to the precise temperature chefs look for and delivers perfect doneness, edge-to-edge, every time.
In addition to the new 36-inch Dual-Fuel Sous Vide Pro Range, Signature Kitchen Suite is expanding its pro range line this year to include more models with redesigned cooktop options, including a new 36-inch gas model with four burners and a griddle, a 36-inch dual-fuel model with induction cooktop, a 48-inch gas model with six burners and griddle option and a 48-inch dual-fuel model with sous vide and griddle option – allowing today’s creative home chefs the ability to prepare food in the best way possible regardless of their preferred cooking methods.
