Ooni is the strike of the back yard pizza– But your latest offer leaves outdoors and enters the kitchen: meet the Ooni Halo Pro Spiral Strength Mixed– It is proclaimed as a huge machine that helps the best pizza dough in Naples – a pan, a ventilation and not prone to the dreaded gap. This differs from other rack mixers in that it has a rotating bowl instead of rotating the attachments and exercising the digital interface and dial control. Is it possible that simplicity and slender form can become a winner? For weeks, I tested the Oon rack mixer to find out to make pizza dough, rolls, whipped cream and cookies.
The tests
Serious meal / Grace Kelly
- Dinner Roll Test: I made it dinner rolls By fixing the dough hook. This test examined how much the Ooni rack mixer can mix and knead a sticky, soft, buttered dough.
- Pizza Dough Test: Ooni is known pizzaSo of course I had to make it Naples pizza dough– I used the circuit breaker that is connected to the center of the mixer and the dough hook for kneading.
- Sugar cookie test: The Ooni rack mixer has a rowing connection I used to do butter and sugar with cream sugar cookiesOr
- Whipped cream test: Oon also belongs to whisk. I tried to beat a cup of heavy whipping cream and timing how long the rigid peaks took place.
What we have learned
Ooni vs. Kitchenaid rack mixers: What is the difference?
Serious meal / IRVIN LIN
For beginners, Ooni is a spiral mixer, ie there is a bowl that spins such as the Racing strokeOr Kitchenaid rack mixers The planetary mixers, that is, an arm that turns the accessories. The spiral mixer spinner can reach faster speeds, making it a better kneading and gluten formation in the dough. This also makes it easier to get in a spatula and scrape the pages without hitting the attachment.
Another difference between the two is the shape of the bowls: Oon's large seven quartz bowl has a flat bottom, which helps prevent the dry pocket of the ingredients when kneading the dough. This is the most common problem in the sloping Kitchenaid bowl, where dry ingredients tend to sink into the center and not mix. Finally, the Ooni touch screen uses a display and disc for the controls, while Kitchenaids has an arm to switch between speed.
The Oon rack mixer was strong, strong and easy to use

The Ooni super is easy to adjust: press the hinges on both sides of the head to lift, screw it into the bowl and screw the fixing, press the power button on the back, and the machine comes to life. I liked the digital touch screen, which has timer and speed settings, both connected to the single disc. To adjust the speed or to adjust the timer, you only need to touch the digital display and turn the dial.
Oon is also incredibly strong: 33 pounds, making it one of the most difficult rack mixers I tested. It also has a huge engine at 650 watts, which is a huge 150 watt more than Our favorite kitchenaid rack mixerOr
Excellently made bread dough

When the bread was kneaded by dough, the Oon rack was time to shine. The rotating bowl provided the uniform integration and proper kneading, and the pull -out breaker bar that helped to knead and stretch in the slots next to the hook. The Naples pizza dough that I made was strong but flexible, while the dinner rolls were a buttered, gentle bun. The timing function was also very useful, especially during longer kneading times.
For other tasks it wasn't that great

While Ooni stood out for kneading, he struggled against cream butter, sugar and whip cream. It took nearly five minutes at the highest speed to throw a cup of heavy cream into stiff peaks. This is quite long, taking into account Ankarsrum, a similar style of mixing plant, lasted 35 seconds during the tests. The splashing guard was essential in this process as the cream slipped everywhere. However, he did not sit completely in the bowl, so a few drops still fled.
He struggled with cream butter and sugar for cookies. I used the shovel fixing and, according to the recipe instructions, set the Ooni to 75% energy. However, the silicone -lined shovel pushed only the ingredients. I had to hit the speed and with a spatula I scraped the pages to help build the ingredients. However, the cakes are still gently and well mixed, so it is there.
The judgment
If your back yard looks like a pizza restaurant or a dough moisturizing, then the Ooni Halo Pro Spiral Mixer probably makes you happy. The rotating bowl provides the entire ingredient of the bread dough (no flour pocket in the middle of the bowl) and the timing function is useful for long tumors. He made excellent bread dough, including a sticky, buttery dinner roll and a well -stolen pizza dough in Naples. At the same time, he struggled with other tasks, such as butter and sugar creams for cookie dough and heavy dairy stores, which made it less versatile than other rack mixers used.
It was very easy to adjust: to adjust the speed or change the timer, just turn the dial. The weight of the muscular has prevented it from fluctuating on my worksheet, which is always a good thing with a scaffolder. It's not super high and it easily fits under my closet when the arm is off.
The pros
The Oon rack mixer stands out in the making of bread dough, which makes sense, considering that the brand is known pizza– The dough hook seamlessly incorporated the butter into the soft dinner roll, which results in light and gentle buns. Combined with the breaker bar, which is located near the dough hook, it also kneaded a perfectly elastic Naples pizza dough that shone light and air with the necessary chewing.
In addition to its performance, the Ooni rack mixer was also easy to use: just plug in the top of the mixer, add the fixing, secure the bowl and change the power switch. The user interface is a simple single dial that has a touch screen to select between time and speed. It was easy to switch between the two, and the timing function was useful for long tumors. The bowl spun smoothly and it was easy to get a spatula to get the pages confused you can't do with a planet rack mixer Like a kitchen.
The disadvantages
Connecting the silicone lined shovel slowly to the butter and sugar, although the cookies are nicely baked. I would have preferred a non -silicone -lined shovel, which I think would have grabbed the mixture better and faster. The machine was also a straight slow whipping cream.
The Oon rack mixer is quite expensive, even more so than Ankarsrum, one of its main competitors. This is also more difficult than most of our favorite rack mixers and requires more effort and strength to move. I wanted the bowl to have a handle to hand over light dough.
