Stone temperature and cooking technique
Ooni Karu 16’s large stone floor provides ultimate cooking
versatility. The stone floor surface will gradually increase in
temperature the closer it gets to the flame, allowing you to
manoeuvre food around the oven depending on how you want
it to cook. When cooking with fire, it’s important to rotate your
pizza and food for an even bake.
An Ooni Infrared Thermometer is a must-have tool for gauging
the stone’s temperature.
Stone temperature vs. air temperature
Your pizza stone will heat up a little more slowly than the air
temperature that is displayed on your Digital Thermometer.
For cooking great pizza, you need the balance of both. So use an
Ooni Infrared Thermometer to ensure your stone and air temps
are similar.
