Ooni Karu 2 Pro

At some point the pizza oven stops being a pizza oven. It is a wood-fired oven that happens to do pizza, and you want to roast a chicken in it and know when it is done without opening the door. The Karu 2 Pro has a 40 cm floor, a hinged glass door and a digital hub with food probes that reports to your phone. Logs for flavour, gas for a weeknight.

The LADJA team uses it for:

• Family-size 40 cm margheritas, back to back
• Roasting tomahawk steaks
• Smoking maple-glazed salmon fillets over charcoal
• Whole roast chicken, with the probe telling us when
