NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / November 11, 2025 / Prokan Grills is thrilled to announce today that the Prokan Kano 16-inch 4-in-1 Outdoor Oven was named a winner in Good Housekeeping's 2026 Kitchen Awards. The full list of awards can be found at https://goodhousekeeping.com/kitchenawards2026.

The Story Behind the Kano Oven:

The initiative to develop the Kano Oven arose when Ray Chang, CEO of Prokan, noticed a clear market gap: Most pizza ovens required constant adjustments and skill to manage heat. Wanting a simpler, more reliable way to enjoy homemade pizza, he envisioned an oven with a rotating stone for even baking and digital temperature control for precision. After extensive testing, Prokan introduced the first propane pizza oven featuring both innovations, making pizza-making effortless, consistent, and enjoyable.

Key Features of the Kano 16-inch Model:

• Rotating pizza stone: Automatically rotates for even baking and eliminates manual turning.

• Digital temperature control: Touchscreen/controls enable precise temperature management for reliable results.

• Generous 16-inch cooking area: Ideal for pizza, bread, roasting, and more.

• Wide temperature range: Approx. 356 °F to 896 °F (180 °C to 480 °C) for high-heat outdoor cooking.

• Robust construction and thoughtful extras: Pizza peel, meat probe, and carry bag to elevate the outdoor cooking experience.

• Patent status: Kano's design system is patent pending, reflecting proprietary engineering behind its design.
