Bamboo Pizza Peel 15 inch Wide, Large Wooden Pizza Spatula Paddle Pizza Cutting Board with Comfy Handle for Home Pizzeria Bakery Baking Pizza Bread Cutting Fruit

I bake pizzas in my normal home oven and when I began to use my pizza steel I had trouble assembling the pizzas outside of the oven and moving them in. I got this pizza peel because it was one of the few that was big enough for the pizzas I make and it was a good price.It is solidly made and serves its purpose perfectly. With some corn meal, the pizzas slide right off and the tapered edge makes it easy to get the pizza onto the stone cleanly. I use the backside as a cutting board for my pizzas because all of my other cutting boards are too small, and it works very well.My only complaint is that, out of the box, the handle is squared off with sharp edges that make it uncomfortable to hold. I just ran the blades of my scissors across it a few timesTo round off the edge and now I have no problems.Kind of hard to clean, but that’s just because of the size and material, which is unavoidable. And isn’t as much of a problem if you don’t use it as a cutting board because the cornmeal just brushes off.

Quality made and dimensions make it easy to store in standard depth kitchen cabinet.

Perfect size for my needs.

Beveled edges makes it easy to get your pie out of the oven

I use the top side with the beveled edge to build and launch the pizza and the bottom side for slicing the pizza. So far it's been excellent. The paddle is weighty and substantial but not overly so. The size accomodates a pizza bigger than the 12 inch norm. I should say that I build my pizza on parchment paper and scoop it up with the peel parchment and all. The pizza and parchment slide easily onto a very hot pizza stone. After 3 to 5 minutes I lift an edge of the pizza with tongs and pull the parchment out leaving the pizza directly on the stone. When it's done, I grab the pizza edge with tongs and slide it onto the back side of the peel. I did mineral oil the entire peel as soon as I got it and the finish and feel of the surfaces are very good. Bamboo holds up to knife cuts well but can dull knives. I have a 14 inch rocker style pizza cutter that may not be as prone to the dulling as kitchen knives. Getting the pizza into the oven and slicing it have been problem free and I only have to store and maintain one item that can do the work of two.

The typical wooden boards in most stores do not last. The pizza cutter scores them easily and the wood starts to separate.This one is harder and I am sure will last years.

The short handle makes it easy to store.

First time using this product we were opening it; it was accidentally dropped and it split down the middle.
