My new love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best thing I get in years, on par with my wife, but its not arguing and gives me pizza,
i was sceptical, if it makes difference between regular kitchen oven, but the difference is huge and the taste is beyond expectations

We burnt the first one
on June 30, 2024
Posted by: Marta K.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We burnt the first one but only because we had to get acquainted with the oven so it wasn't by any means a disappointing experience, in fact – we had expected to mess something up, it's a live fire we're talking about! :-) And it was the first time we had ever used a wood-fired oven before. But the surprising thing was that we didn't toss that pizza (it looked black, haha) but cut it and it turned out that inside it was great. We ate it all! But I'm the person who always asks for the most well done bread at the bakery... Anyway, I do love that charred surface. From then on, once we figured out how the oven behaves and and how long it takes to get the dough done but also once we got better organised ourselves with toppings and refilling the fire wood in between pizzas – oh my goodness, we will no longer be temper to go to a pizzeria. We both think that it's been one of the best investments we've made. It's great!

A Great Appliance with a Learning Curve
on July 1, 2024
Posted by: Wesley C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a complete novice at using an outdoor pizza oven. My first attempt at using my Karu 12G was pretty much a disaster. The second try was a bit better. Now with the third, I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. A tip for other newbies like me: the stone cooks the crust, and the flame cooks the toppings. For the pizza to turn out right, the stone needs to be hot enough to cook the crust before the flame overcooks the toppings. So first get the stone really hot, then turn down the flame and close the damper some.

Pizza Night
on July 2, 2024
Posted by: Andrea B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids ordered the 12 inch oven with propane adapter. At first thought we were thinking we should have purchased the larger model. We followed the dough recipe online, not the one in the book that had an inaccurate amount of water. We doubled the recipe and divided the dough into 8 balls. When it came time to make the pies, we had all our ingredients ready to go. The dough worked perfectly and we created all different kinds of pies including traditional, meat, shrimp scampi and prosciutto and arugula. The tip given was to blow a puff of air under the pie before sliding into the oven. Worked like a charm! Pies were cooking in a minute and a half. They were perfectly cooked and delicious. The 12 inch made it easier to get the pie in the oven and allowed us to experiment with different toppings. We can’t wait to try with wood to see what it does to the flavor. One of the best gifts ever.

After getting a laser thermometer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After getting a laser thermometer and found the proper hidratation i was really pleased with the result. Cleaning is not so problematic that I thought. Long term durability? We'll see...

Best purchase ever
on July 7, 2024
Posted by: HEISSERER P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best purchase ever to make homemade pizza. That is so much better than making pizza in a traditional oven. I love my Ooni Karu. Pizzas are delicious, with this firewood baking taste. I am so glad to have choose Ooni for this purchase. Quality is awesome. The oven is very easy to use. Perfect size for 2 of us. So now it’s pizza night every week end.
