Know before you buy
The perforations allow excess flour to fall away from the bottom of your dough before it hits the oven floor. This prevents burnt flour from sticking to your crust, resulting in a cleaner, crispier finish.
The blade is 12 inches wide, making it ideal for standard-sized pizzas. Before purchasing, ensure your oven opening is at least 13 inches wide to allow for comfortable maneuvering.
The flat, thin edge is designed to slide effortlessly under the dough. This makes it significantly easier to pick up raw pizzas from your prep surface and slide them into the oven without disturbing the toppings.
The handle is crafted from FSC-certified beech wood, which provides a natural thermal barrier. While it is comfortable to hold, you should avoid leaving the peel inside the oven, as the wood can be damaged by prolonged direct heat.
We recommend hand washing the aluminum blade with mild soap and water. Avoid putting the peel in the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents and high heat can damage the beech wood handle over time.
