Ooni Koda 16 Propane Pizza Machine - Outdoor Pizza Oven with 40cm Pizza Stone

From the very first use, this has given me absolutely fantastic pizzas. It's so easy to prepare and cook them with this that I haven't messed up a single time even after easily 50+ pizzas, even though I'm completely new to homemade pizzas and ovens. As with most guides, make sure to dust your peel well and check that the pizza slides freely before launching. Also, make sure your stone is hot enough. If it isn't, the bottom won't cook as well as you'd like. I highly recommend buying a temperature gun. It's almost mandatory along with a good peel & pizza turner.

Stop messing about. You know it’s awesome, you’ve seen the videos. Just a tip before you make your first pizza. Make sure that you know how to “launch them” I have a pizza paddle and I cover it with semolina. But watch a video and give it a “shoogle” to keep it moving. My first launch into the oven was a disaster? But absolutely nothing to do with the product, it was my lack of knowledge. Also best dough recipe. 1000g 00 flour, 600ml water 25g salt (not a typo) 2-3gr of dried active yeast (I use caputo) Let it rest until doubled in size, Then separate into 4 equal portions and put in the fridge…. And momamia you have THE best dough you will experience… ENJOY! 😊

Where to start... OK, firing it up is easy-ish - it doesn't always 'click' into action on the first attempt, maybe ten or so presses before the gas lights. Now wait, let it heat up or your pizza dough will stick to the 'under-heated' plate, give it a good 15 mins on full power. When you're ready to 'insert', turn the heat down. I highly recommend using semolina flour to stop your fresh dough from sticking to the 'pan', so it slides off easily into the oven. Now, once in the oven, you have to master the art of 'pan swivel', your pizza will burn unless you 'quarter turn' every 20 seconds - it's that hot! It's a knack, but when you're on it, then your pizza will turn out beautifully - do not talk to anyone during this crucial stage, I learned the hard way. If you're not on it, well... you may give up and forego the right to make perfect pizza. So, practice! Don't give up :) It's utterly worth it when you've mastered it.

Very happy

Looks good

This was the perfect oven for our built space next to the bbq, only when reading the instructions did we find it can’t be less than a meter from fence so now having to pay for return. This should be made clear in the details so people know. Would have loved to enjoy using it but unfortunately not

Just awful. You'll go through all sorts of shenanigans with pizzas burnt on one side, raw on the other. It seems like a good concept but a complete waste of money. Stick to your oven and just bring the pizza outside to eat.
