Edinburgh, Scotland (October 1, 2024) – Today, Ooni Pizza Ovens, the creator and leader of the home pizza oven market, is announcing the launch of the Ooni Karu 2 Pro Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven. The newest addition to Ooni’s award-winning Karu range, the Karu 2 Pro blends traditional wood-fired cooking with cutting-edge technology, setting a new standard in outdoor culinary experiences.
Building on over a decade of engineering excellence, the Ooni Karu 2 Pro Pizza Oven offers a spacious and versatile cooking surface designed to accommodate everything from family-sized pizzas to whole roast chickens, tomahawk steaks, and deep dish pies. With a 17-inch cooking surface and multiple fuel options, this oven is the ultimate tool for food enthusiasts looking to explore a wide range of culinary creations.
The Karu 2 Pro’s multi-fuel capabilities allow users to choose between wood or charcoal for that authentic smoky flavor or the convenience of gas with the optional Karu 2 Pro Gas Burner attachment (sold separately). The extra-large fuel tray ensures longer cooking times, making it easier than ever to maintain consistent heat throughout the oven.
“The Karu 2 Pro Pizza Oven is more than just an appliance; it’s an invitation to explore the endless possibilities of outdoor cooking,” said Kristian Tapaninaho, Founder and Co-CEO of Ooni. “When cutting-edge tech meets wood-fired cooking, we’re offering true versatility, control, and convenience. This oven is for those truly passionate about outdoor cooking.”
Say goodbye to guesswork with the Karu 2 Pro’s integrated Ooni Connect™ Digital Temperature Hub. This innovative feature first debuted in Ooni’s Koda 2 Max oven, allowing users to monitor the oven’s temperature via a front-mounted display or directly on their smartphone through Bluetooth connectivity. The Ooni app not only sends an alert when the oven reaches the perfect temperature but also provides insights and tips to ensure perfect results every time. Additionally, the Karu 2 Pro comes equipped with a digital food probe, enabling precise temperature monitoring of meats and other dishes as they roast to perfection.
Aesthetics meet functionality with the Karu 2 Pro’s extra-large glass door, which offers a clear view of all culinary masterpieces without the need to open the oven and lose heat. Thanks to Ooni’s ClearView™ technology, the glass door resists soot and ash buildup, ensuring a clean and visually appealing cooking experience, cook after cook.
Engineered for year-round use, the Karu 2 Pro’s powder-coated carbon steel shell is built to withstand the elements while retaining heat. This durability ensures that the Karu 2 Pro will be a centerpiece in any outdoor kitchen for years to come.
