Keep your chefs' hands safe from burns as they maneuver pizzas, bread loaves and other dishes in your deck or hearth oven. This traditional 18" x 18" wooden pizza peel has a smooth 18" x 18" blade with a beveled, rounded front edge that easily slides under large pizzas without damaging them, so you can place them where you want in your oven, and easily retrieve them when they've finished cooking. The 24" contoured handle gives you plenty of leverage to easily lift large and extra large pizzas and even heavy family-style portions of lasagna and other dishes, yet still keeps hands away from hot surfaces even in deeper ovens. The 1/2" thick pine wood construction has a rustic charm that's as attractive as it is functional, making it perfect for serving pizza right to customers' tables. Ideal for pizzerias, Italian restaurants, bakeries, hotel kitchens, or any establishment that needs an exceptional tool for maneuvering items in deck or hearth ovens, the professional wooden pizza peel is easy to clean and will endure heat, scrubbing, and other harsh treatment.
