Nothing compares to the flavor of a Neapolitan-style pizza baked fresh in a wood or coal-fired stove.
Garnished with fresh elements emerging piping hot from the stove with a fire-kissed bubbly crust, it might just be the supreme comfort and desire-worthy food.
Imagine if you could recreate that identical flavor from the ease of your own backyard instead of having to go to your beloved pizzeria which could be miles away.
Now you can, thanks to the Ooni Karu 12G Multi-Energy Pizza Stove.
This 34-pound, sleek spaceship-style stainless steel model offers the alternative of being fueled by either charcoal or wood for that same genuine flavor we have all come to adore. If ease of use is more crucial than obtaining the traditional wood-fired flavor, a gas burner attachment (sold separately) is also available that will enable you to connect the unit up to a propane tank for even and consistent heat.
Do not be fooled by its compact design – this potent little stove allows home cooks to bake up a perfect 12-inch Neapolitan pie rapidly and effortlessly in just 60 seconds.
The multi-purpose cooker can also be used to sear up a steak or grill up some seafood and vegetables. Its efficient, lightweight and portable design makes it effortless to take with you for your next tailgating event, camping excursion, or weekend getaway.
What distinguishes the Ooni Karu 12G Multi-Energy Pizza Stove is its unique design reaching temperatures up to 950 degrees Fahrenheit, enabling optimized airflow to prolong the rolling flame. One of the main reasons pizzas taste so much better from your local pizzeria is because home ovens can’t get quite as hot as a charcoal or wood-fired oven. The high heat temperatures found in professional kitchens result in pies being cooked evenly without any hot spots.
If you are aiming to create a professional-grade pizza right at home, this portable stove is for you. The tabletop unit measures 30”L x 16.7”W x 30”H, and setup is very easy with virtually no assembly necessary. A pizza stone comes with the stove, so all you have to do is place it in the oven, preheat it, and get started. Make sure to decrease the heat when the stove has reached its preheat temperature to ensure the pizza crust doesn’t burn.
Ooni sells pizza peels separately to make the cooking process even simpler. We propose the perforated peel that enables you to turn the pizza in the oven and slide it out effortlessly without sticking. (It’s important to note the oven is hotter in the back, so you need to rotate the pizza while it is cooking to prevent it from burning). The open slats on the peel also enable excess flour to fall effortlessly from the underside of the pizza when retrieving the cooked pie.
There is a borosilicate glass window that enables you to keep a close eye on cooking temperatures so you don’t have to keep opening the door letting the heat escape. The hinged door is easy to open and close, also providing improved heat retention. There is even a built-in thermometer calibrated to the center of the oven for more precise accuracy to let you know when the oven has reached its optimum temperature while heating up.
In addition to its fast-track cooking process, the stove also cooks smarter using less fuel and offering more heat retention than its predecessor model.
