Hi, I'm Natalie. I'm here to tell you all about Ooni Koda, our gas powered portable outdoor pizza oven. Ooni Koda has been crafted for ultimate speed, convenience, and ease of use. While it's very simple to use, it has all of the features you need to make incredible pizza in just 60 seconds.

When you eat pizza at your favorite restaurant, it will have a certain look and taste that's impossible to recreate in a regular kitchen oven. That is because the most important factor for cooking truly great pizza is to use an oven that gets super hot and has a stone floor. Ooni Koda has these plus the ease of cooking with a gas flame. So you can bring your pizza game to any outdoor party.

Ooni Koda connects to a propane gas tank the same way as a barbecue, and it will come with the hose and regulator in the box. There's also a matchstick holder. Ooni Koda is ready right out the box and takes seconds to set up. Inside the box, you'll find the pizza oven itself, the stone baking board, and the gas regulator and hose. You'll receive a printed copy of the Essentials Guide, which includes delicious recipes for authentic pizza and more.

To get Ooni Koda set up, just flip open the legs, insert the stone baking board, connect to a gas tank and you're good to go. To light, push in and slowly turn the control knob anti-clockwise until you hear a click and the flames ignite. Keep it pressed in for five seconds, then turn the dial to control the flames. It's as simple as that. Ooni Koda reaches 930 degrees Fahrenheit. That's 500 degrees Celsius, which is twice the maximum temperature of a conventional oven. That's hot enough to cook a 13 inch pizza in only 60 seconds. One of my favorite things about Ooni Koda is just how fast it is. It only takes 15 minutes to preheat to pizza cooking temperatures. During the preheat time, the flames will roll across the oven ceiling, and heat up the stone baking board. The stone has excellent heat retention and will help to cook your pizza base to perfection by drawing out excess moisture from your dough. When you're ready, launch your pizza onto the stone. You'll be able to watch your toppings bubble under the flames while it cooks. You can turn the flames up for cooking pizza in just 60 seconds, and you also have the option to dial it down to roast meat, fish and vegetables. Basically anything you can fit inside, Ooni Koda will cook amazingly well.

Setting up is quick and easy, and so is cleaning up. Cooking with gas means there's no mess to worry about, and any residue from cooking gets baked off with the heat inside the oven. Making your own dough is simple with our classic dough recipe. Or you can also use shop bought dough. Ooni Koda is covered by a one year warranty, a standard which you can extend for another year for free by registering online.

So what makes Ooni Koda work so well? We'll start by looking at the oven body itself, which is made from a powder coated cold rolled carbon steel shell. There is a thick layer of insulation inside, which helps to retain the heat while the outer shell is weather resistant. You can also order the Ooni Koda carry cover to keep your oven protected from the elements. There's a patented flame keeper that carries rolling flames across the food as it cooks and creates an even temperature across the stone for a well-cooked pizza base. The high quality corduroy stone baking board retains a lot of heat and give pizzas that authentic stone baked base is completely removable too. The best surfaces to place Ooni Koda on top of are wooden picnic tables, stone, marble, or stainless steel. As you can see, Ooni Koda has non-slip feet that protect whatever surface you're placing it on and the legs fold up easily so that you can take it with you for a pizza party on the go or store it away. When you order an Ooni Koda, you'll also be helping to plant trees through Ooni's partnership with Eden Projects and 1% for the planet. For more information, visit ooni.com.
