Bamboo Pizza Peel Paddle | Wooden Pizza Paddle for Baking Pizza, Bread, Fruits & Vegetables | Lightweight Pizza Cutting Board with Handle, Wooden Pizza Peel for Home & Oven - LG Size

I can scrub it clean in hot water with a stainless steel scrubber without scratching it! It does not swell up or come apart if dropped into a drying rack afterwards instead of being dried off. It is very dimensionally stable, not warping or developing cracks like wood will, even if stored under a big toaster oven where it gets really hot. The handle width allows very good control, and is short to be used in a home oven rather than really long for a pizza shop oven. It is good looking enough to hang on the wall like a kitchen ornament.

You can use this for anything that you cook on your cooking Stone. It is amazing. I'd like the way it looks. I like the way it feels and it feels good in your hand that you're not gonna drop anything. Definitely would buy again, but i'm pretty sure this one's gonna last me a long time

This is definitely not a complex product use, but the one thing that's important to keep in mind is that it is made for a smaller pizza. I bought this because I have a Breville pizza oven, and it is the perfect size to use with that oven. If however, you were looking to make larger pizzas that are more like 16 inches then I would recommend a much larger version of this product. The construction is solid, and it seems to be very well-made and very well finished. I recommend it.

When I actually worked at a pizzeria, we always used two pizza peels - wood for insertion, metal for extraction. Obviously at home you want to try to minimize the number of tools and gadgets in your kitchen, so I was hoping to get away with one pizza peel. This one does have a tapered edge in front that's made for both easier insertion and extraction - it is certainly possible to do both with this peel.But while it works pretty well to insert a pie, the front edge just isn't quite sharp enough to get under the crust of a cooked pie reliably. I've pushed more pizzas to the back of the oven than I care to count. And I don't even try turning pies in the oven anymore - if you push a pie by mistake in that situation, you're likely to get ripped dough and sauce and toppings all over the place. I've found that lifting with a regular spatula and then sliding the peel under is really the only way to do it, but that means you're picking up the peel and pie with one hand. Definitely possible, but can be heavy.So why still 4 stars? Well, because for one thing, this is one of the few peels I found that was actually big enough for a reasonably sized pie, and one that used the full area of my pizza steel.And, again, there is a reason why pros use two peels. If you use this the way wood pizza peels are supposed to be used - for insertion only - then it's totally fine. And you *can* use it for extraction, it's just not the best experience.I will say that if someone were to ask me what they should buy if they really were dead set on buying *one* pizza peel, at this point I might say go metal. Metal has kind of the opposite problem from wood but if you use enough flour on metal, it becomes just as non-sticky as wood. And it's a lot easier to get the pizzas out. Basically if you insist on one peel, you pick your poison on which direction you want to have problems with.If you can, buy this *and* a metal peel and then you're golden.

I've been thru several pizza peels in the last 30 or so years and this appears to be a keeper. The bamboo is super hard, the finish appears to be able to handle light washing, the size is perfect for my pizza stone and the leading edge of the peel, while initially odd appearing (routed concave top and bottom) it functions perfectly. My only 2 issues are that it arrived a week later than projected and the handle gave me a couple of splinters, but that was easily resolved with a bit of fine sandpaper. This thing arrived in seriously redundant packaging, best I've ever seen and therefore was in perfect condition. This is an excellent tool that I expect to get years of enjoyment from. It looks amazing as well.

Perfect to use and light weight to move around kitchen. Sturdy enough to cut your veggies or meats or cheeses on. Super cute as well. Perfect for dough as wel.

Love this Paddle. I make my own crust which has to bake on the stone before I put the toppings on. If I take the stone with the crust out of the oven the stone tends to cool a bit while I am assembling the pizza. The best thing to do is leave the stone in the oven and remove just the crust but I got tired of burning my fingers doing this. This Paddle is perfect. I can remove and assemble my pizza crust then pop it back on the hot stone. Don't know why reviewers are upset with the size, it clearly stated the demensions. If you needed a bigger one you just had to order a size larger. Duh. I received my order in just a few days and it was well packaged and in perfect condition. Great product......

Also is my favorite cutting board

Very easy to handle the Peel but it scratches easily when using a rotary pizza cutter so I will not use it as a cutting board. Good product that I would buy again. Easily removes pizza from the stone and also slides it onto the stone as long as you do not overload the crust with ingredients especially if you are doing a 14" or 15" Pizza. I have the XL so I can make a 13" pizza on the floured peel.

After doing a search for a pizza peel I decided to buy this product. The reviews were absolutely correct. The paddle is easy to use and is lovely to look at as it hangs on my kitchen wall. The weight is substantial but not heavy and the XL peel is the one to get. So easy to remove pizza from the oven and go right to the table to serve it. Look forward to many years of using this product. I actually bought 2 more for my daughters and know they will like them as much. Great to buy a product from a family business also. Thank you.

Received the peel last Oct. 17th, and I think it's a great product. Haven't had any issues with it, although it might be a touch thick for shimmying under a pizza in order to take it out of the oven (I carefully pull the done pizza off the pizza stone with tongs, so problem solved). I put cornmeal directly on the peel in order to flatten the dough directly on it. Also, should washing the peel with soap and water be necessary, always add a thin layer of oil onto the peel after drying it; this will prevent cracking and help preserve the wood longer.

The item works great! The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is due to the inconvenience of my first one being delivered broken and the need to return it. The second one I ordered arrived fine and I have since used it without flaw. Nice product although my wife still won’t let me hang it in the kitchen...

Took my time with trying to find the right pizza peel and settled on this one - was hoping to go for the XL but they appear a little tougher to come by north of the border.Very happy with the purchase, solid construction and the tapered edge makes it easy to move pizzas in and out of the oven. I use steel and didn't want to risk any of the aluminum peels scraping.Would recommend this to anyone with stone/steel etc, can't live without one at this stage.
