In the latest case of AI being shoehorned into everything, say hello to Ooni's Volt 2 pizza oven. It uses an adaptive heating system called "Pizza Intelligence" that's designed to cook your pizza more consistently to deliver the ideal slice, while also giving the company a hot new marketing angle.
The Volt 2 is an all-electric indoor oven that can cook pizzas up to 13 inches in size, the same as the Volt 12. Like that model it operates at up to 450 degrees Celcius (850 degrees) Fahrenheit, allowing you to cook a Neapolitan-style pizza in around 90 seconds. However, the design has changed with a more rounded profile, considerably larger window, touch controls and a dial. Ooni notes that it's compact enough to fit on a kitchen counter.
The Volt 2 uses real-time sensor data to dynamically balance heat between the top and base heating elements in order to minimize temperature fluctuations and cold spots for "consistently perfect pizza." Ooni dubbed that system "Pizza Intelligence," though others may call it a "thermostat." It also automatically adjusts for different types of pizzas ranging from New York slices to Chicago-style deep-pan pies. Each preset is programmable so you can bookmark favorite settings for consistent results.
It offers cooking modes including Dough Proof, Oven and Grills, making it useful for prepping, baking, roasting and recipe experimentation. Ooni's Volt 2 electric pizza goes on sale October 1 for $699 — if you're interested, you can join the waitlist here.
