About BlueStar Founded in 1880, Prizer-Painter, Inc. – maker of the BlueStar brand – has established a reputation for top quality products, high performance, and reliability. Originally known as Prizer-Painter Stove and Heater Company, Prizer produced a full line of coal ranges, hot water heaters, furnaces and heating stoves, sold under many of the major brand names of the day. In fact, many of those original models are still in service today across America. Prizer also produced a full line of Porcelain Enamel cookware throughout the 1950′s that was sold under the name “Prizerware”. In 2002 Prizer introduced genuine restaurant ranges to the residential market, under the BlueStar name. With technology and performance only found in professional ranges, BlueStar is the only true genuine restaurant range for the home. Today, BlueStar is widely considered the range of choice for top chefs and cooking enthusiasts who demand true cooking performance. Why BlueStar BlueStar was developed for people who love to cook – in fact, no other gas range on the market offers the same level of cooking performance. Independent studies have shown that BlueStar out performs other stoves when tested for boiling, simmering, deep frying, stir-frying, and searing.
