Fourneau was launched on Kickstarter in 2015 by Ted and Sharon Burdett, a couple of design nerds who love cooking as much as design. Their goal was to help home bakers make their best bread ever, and with the support of almost 800 backers in 20 countries, they brought the Fourneau to life. Since then, Fourneau has continued to evolve as a product line, as a company, and as a passion project.

In 2021 the team decided to expand the scope of Fourneau beyond bread with the addition of their cast iron cookware line, Ironwood Cookware, which offers a sleek, long-handled cast iron skillet and a gorgeous cast iron roaster.

Fourneau is a family company founded by designers who love to travel, eat, cook, and enjoy food with friends. Their products are born from their own experiences in the kitchen and combine their passion for good design with their intense love of cooking. The Fourneau team has grown to include Nick Martin, Bo Moody and Katie Burdett. Together, they're working to make new products to enable great cooking experiences at home and new content to inspire your cooking adventures.

Fourneau is always looking for ways to innovate the way artisan chefs and bakers cook and bake, whether at home, outside, or in a commercial kitchen.
