Product Information

But if you are someone who wants a commercial pizza peel that would have a larger head, then you might want to look at other options that we have in this list. A wooden peel tends to have fewer problems with sticking as the wood is rougher, absorbs water, and doesn’t get condensation. It comes down to personal preference, but a good starting point for Neapolitan pizza is 8 inches (20cm). The thinness in the pizza peel ensures an easy and smooth transition in and out of the oven without your pizza becoming oddly shaped, it gets rid of excess flour, and it is light in your hands making it accessible to many different people. Like the other peels on this list, the Homevibes is made with aluminum therefore it is extremely light and easy to handle.

The handle is also covered with glass-reinforced nylon that gives a comfortable grip and prevents it from getting too hot. The only disadvantage of the wooden pizza peel is that you cannot use it to turn around the pizza inside the oven because of the thickness of the peel. But the tapered edges on this pizza peel is fantastic to lift the pizza and turn it around inside the pizza oven.

Gi Metal products are made in Italy and are synonymous with quality, practicality and beauty worldwide. Wood pizza peels are better to transfer the pizza to the oven as the wooden surface is porous so absorbs moisture from the dough and stops it from sticking. In a wood fired oven, the difference is obviously the distance to the cooking area and also the heat. The Pizza Peel ( 12 ”, 14 ”, 16 ”) If you’re a beginner or just someone who wants an all-purpose peel for stretching, topping, turning, and retrieving, our classic pizza peel made of lightweight aluminum is the one for you. Once you’ve got it to your desired size, you can give it a few attempts with your peel onto your worktop.

Not only will your pizza potentially burn more quickly, but the burnt flour can also turn your oven into a smoke-filled pizza grave. Placing the pizza on the rotating peel and then sliding it off can be a little tricky if you are a beginner; hence I would always recommend the wooden pizza peel for it. A perforated pizza peel is made with metal, is much, much thinner, with the same non-stick qualities and tons of holes on its surface. Never try and turn your pizza too early- look out for the crust starting to colour and rise at the back of the oven as an indicator that the pizza is ready to turn. The professional Gi Metal pizza making tools are appreciated, sought-after, and purchased because of their good value for money and high quality.That means you can be more nimble with your rotations, and your pizza spends less time outside and away from your oven’s heat. You are going to notice that the slimmer edges on the peel help to easily pick up the pizza and remove it out of the oven. However, metal peels are perfect for quickly loading and rotating your pizza during the baking process. The peels are sold in various sizes and the portable pizza ovens normally use size 7″ to 8″ pizza peels.
