Know before you buy
While it is optimized for the Tread oven, the 26.5-inch total length and 12-inch round blade work well with any compact pizza oven where a short-handled peel is preferred for maneuverability.
The perforations serve two purposes: they allow excess flour to fall away from the dough before it hits the oven floor, and they reduce friction, making it easier to slide the pizza off the peel.
This is a placement peel designed specifically for launching raw dough into the oven. It is not intended for turning or retrieving pizzas, as the short handle does not provide enough reach for those tasks.
The aluminum blade should be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals to preserve the smooth surface necessary for easy dough transfer.
Yes, the handle is designed to be replaceable, which extends the overall lifespan of the tool. You can swap it out if the heat-resistant composite shows significant wear over time.
The round shape is specifically designed to help you shape and maintain a perfect circle while stretching your dough. It also makes it easier to rotate the pizza slightly on the counter before the final launch.
