Inspired by Chefs, Powered by BlueStar®, for Seamless Cooling to Cooking

All BlueStar® products are designed to withstand the rigors of the busiest home kitchens.  BlueStar® gas ranges, provide the home chef with a cooking experience that only can be matched by a restaurant kitchen environment.  Its powerful burners provide up to 25,000 BTUs of cooking power for consistent, controlled heat.  And for delicate soups and sauces, no stove matches BlueStar’s gentle 130-degree simmer burner.  The ovens are large enough to hold a full size commercial sheet pan.

The BlueStar® Built-In Refrigerator offers unique features for the home chef and enthusiastic home entertainer.  The Refrigerator features an innovative, commercial-style design with professional grade elements like durable 304 grade stainless steel interiors and stainless steel and glass shelves and drawers.  There is a dual compressor system – one for the fridge and another for the freezer – for optimum food preservation and advanced odor control.  The Refrigerator’s fully extending bottom shelf is designed to fit a full-size commercial sheet pan – as is the freezer itself – that way, extra-large pans prepped with pastry or hors d’oeuvres can go straight from the refrigerator or freezer into an oversized BlueStar oven, another brand hallmark.

The BlueStar® Refrigerator just won the 2016 GOOD DESIGN Award, the world’s most prestigious, recognized and oldest Design Awards program organized annually by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design in cooperation with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies.  It also was recognized as an Honoree in the prestigious Interior Design 2016 Best of the Year Awards.
