Hybrid pizza oven, "Karu 16" - Ooni

The Ooni Karu 16 oven is the first and only pizza oven “Recommended for Domestic Use” by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, the renowned international authority on the authentic Neapolitan pizza, this oven offering a unique outdoor cooking experience.

The Karu 16 oven operates on multiple fuel options for maximum cooking flexibility. Fuelled by wood or charcoal, the oven heats up quickly and is ready to go in just 15 minutes. It reaches high temperatures of up to 500 °C, cooking authentic pizza baked on stone in just 60 seconds.

The Karu 16 oven is also gas-compatible. To expand your fuel options, you can use the Ooni gas burner.

Whichever fuel you may choose, the Karu 16 oven will help you cook delicious dishes. The oven preheats quickly and maintains a constant temperature when you add fuel gradually to allow for adequate airflow.

Thanks to new design features, you can cook pizza, meat, vegetables or even fresh bread while enjoying better temperature control, more efficient airflow, increased insulation and better visibility. The glass oven door with ViewFlame™ technology and built-in digital thermometer allow you to constantly monitor the baking process for perfect results every time.

Care instructions:

We recommend that the Ooni Karu 16 be stored indoors when not in use for long periods of time to protect it from adverse weather conditions.

For cleaning, allow the oven to cool completely (may take up to 90 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature) and never expose hot components to moisture. You can wipe the inside with a dry paper towel if necessary. When cool, the exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth and dried thoroughly before using a spot or stain remover.

Important

Please note that the Ooni Karu 16 is not compatible with wood pellets – the Ooni Karu 16 can be fuelled with wood logs, charcoal or gas burners, sold separately.
