“In every line, shape, or form, there is a hidden purpose.”

“In every line, shape, or form, there is a hidden purpose.”
Portuguese designer João Domingues sees design as an opportunity to improve life by recognizing and solving problems through creativity and imagination.
João Domingues' designs for Cru are as elegant as they are usable. The Cru Oven is ergonomic, portable and wood-fired. Each oven is carefully crafted to bring the exhilaration, passion, and love of cooking with fire into your life no matter where you are. This innovative device is engineered for safety, efficiency, and style. Bringing people together to enjoy the ancient global tradition of cooking with fire has never been easier.
The elegant and minimalist design of CRU ovens starts with its 304 Stainless Steel construction. The standard in culinary, industrial, and architectural stainless steel can stand up to the high temperatures of wood fires for a lifetime while offering light-weight portability and easy to clean surfaces.
The Cru Oven has two different size and style doors on which allow the home cook or professional chef versatility when crafting dishes from the world's cuisines. This innovative design empowers people to use fire in whatever style they chose.
Traditional brick pizza ovens, barbecue pits, tandoori ovens and others are often built as fixtures in buildings and outdoors. This makes them difficult to disassemble and clean. The Cru oven's removable dome makes reconfiguring and cleaning the oven tremendously easier than the traditional ones. This makes cooking with fire at home cleaner and simple.
The Cru Oven's large cooking surface is unique among home portable barbecue and oven units. This means experimenting with techniques new and old, or cooking for a crowd is easier than ever before. Getting creative with fire and sharing food with loved ones is a snap with Cru ovens. Spread the love around!
Baking bread on stone is a centuries-old Portuguese tradition, as it is in various cultures around the world. The Portuguese stone in Cru ovens makes makes bread, pizza, and other timeless foods taste delicious and authentic. Don't let the contemporary design fool you, Cru ovens can hold their own with traditional ovens!
