About Aouball Pizzaoven

Aouball is een pizzaoven ontworpen voor thuiskeukens. Boven- en onderverwarmingselementen simuleren de dubbele warmtebronnen van een traditionele pizzaoven, waardoor een gelijkmatige verwarming van 360 graden tot wel 450 graden Celsius wordt bereikt. PID-temperatuurregeling houdt de hitte stabiel, en een pizzasteen behoudt het juiste vochtigheidsniveau voor een krokante bodem. Een pizza kan in 90 seconden gebakken worden. Een touchscreen stelt tijd en temperatuur in en biedt vier voorgeprogrammeerde modi. Een speciale applicatie maakt bediening op afstand mogelijk. Ook brood en koekjes kunnen worden gebakken. De behuizing meet 450 bij 440 bij 302 millimeter.

Tags: pizza oven, smart temperature control, kitchen appliance, integrated design, versatility
Production Technology: The well insulated product effectively prevents leakage of electricity.
The pizza oven without openings boasts an IP4 waterproof rating.
The temperature of the shell is always below 70℃. The air ducts facilitate convection to further reduce the surface temperature, greatly improving the safety.
The window made of explosion proof, heat resistant and transparent tempered glass invites users to clearly observe the baking process, providing a more convenient and safer experience.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was how to integrate traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. To address that, the upper and lower heating tubes inside the oven simulate the double heat sources in a traditional pizza furnace to achieve 360 degree even heating, with the maximum temperature up to 450 degrees Celsius, greatly improving the baking efficiency. Meanwhile, the pizza stone on the bottom can maintain a proper moisture level during the baking process to achieve the best flavor.
Research: With the accelerated pace of modern life, the traditional pizza making method, which features long time consumption and needs special equipment, fails to meet people’s pursuit of convenience and efficiency. This home pizza oven, by virtue of its pizza stone and smart temperature control system, can quickly complete the baking of a delicious pizza in just 90 s, which significantly shortens the baking time while retaining the essence of the traditional pizza baking process.
Inspiration: To enhance the convenience of use, this pizza oven can quickly complete the baking of a delicious pizza in just 90 s, which overcomes the time consuming problem in traditional pizza making. Thanks to its compact body, the product is harmonious with the home kitchen scenario. It can also be used to bake bread, biscuits, etc., eliminating the need of purchasing multiple devices.
Project Duration: The project started in November, 2023 in Guangdong, and was launched in May, 2024 in the United States and Germany.
Operation Flow: The touch screen allows users to freely adjust cooking parameters including time and temperature for personalized pizza making. It also provides four preset traditional pizza flavor modes, whereby users can effortlessly complete professional pizza baking processes. The dedicated APP supports remote control of the oven and offers diverse pizza recipes. A built-in active cooling system ensures the temperature of the shell is always below 60 degrees Celsius, so as to better safeguard users.
