Know before you buy
The perforations allow excess flour to fall away from the bottom of your pizza dough before it enters the oven. This prevents burnt flour from sticking to your crust, resulting in a cleaner, crispier finish.
Yes, the 14-inch blade is a standard size that works well with most outdoor pizza ovens. As long as your oven opening is wider than 14 inches, this peel will function effectively.
The flat nose is engineered to slide easily under the edge of your dough. This design minimizes the risk of tearing the crust or folding the pizza when you are picking it up or sliding it onto the baking stone.
The handle is fixed to the blade for maximum stability and control. While it does not detach, the slim profile of the aluminum blade makes it relatively easy to hang or store in a narrow space.
Wipe the handle clean with a damp cloth after use and avoid submerging it in water to prevent the wood from warping or cracking. You can occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood conditioned and protected.
