GET A PIZZA THE ACTION The outdoor oven you’ve always wanted is more convenient than ever. A hand-built outdoor pizza oven is on the wish list for many of us. But let’s be honest: they are a lot harder to build than those YouTube videos suggest. A new portable gas-fired option could be the just the answer for the time-poor or DIY skills-challenged artisanal pizza lover. “Ooni Koda’s award-winning, portable design is crafted for ultimate speed, convenience and ease of use,” the company says.
Featuring instant gas ignition, the mini oven is ready to cook in 15 minutes, reaching temperatures up to 500°C. In addition to cooking Neapolitan-style pizza, with a twist of a dial the Ooni Koda can handle fish, vegetables and steaks. “Ooni Koda fires out jaw-dropping pizzas in 60 seconds flat,” the firm says. “No mess, no assembly, no fuss. Cooking outdoors with gas has never been so simple or so beautiful.” Very little assembly is required.
