Cuisinart Brick Oven - a Classic Oven for Classic Bakes

The Cuisinart Brick Oven BRK-200 is a counter-top brick oven with real
bricks on the inside so that you get to experience the pleasures of
traditional brick-oven foods at home. Cuisinart is a sturdily built
cooking device with industrial style stainless steel housing. It offers
three cooking options - bake, broil, and toast. The sides of the oven
are permanently lined with bricks and a removable 12″ square
baking stone made of the same brick material. The insides of the oven
that are not brick-lined are coated with a non-stick material to
facilitate easy cleaning.


A baking tray, broiling pan, and instruction/recipe booklet are provided
along with the oven which comes with a three-year warranty. The
Cuisinart can be fired to temperatures of 500F which is beyond the
capacity of most small-sized ovens.

At 19.5″ W x 18.5″ D and a volume of .90 cu. ft, the
Cuisinart is neither too capacious nor too small, it is just right for
baking your favorite hearth bread, pizza, banana bread, chicken roast,
broiled fish, and much more. The Cuisinart consumes 1.7 KW of power and
is a good energy saver as you don’t have to heat your large oven
for the small-to-medium baking jobs. Also, the oven is two-tiered so you
can avail multi-level cooking saving both time and energy.

At $250, the oven is not the cheapest one available in the market. The
crumb tray has to be removed from the back of the oven which makes it a
bit of an inconvenience, also the Cuisinart could have done with a
preheat indicator light.
