Frequent questions

Do I need both pizza peel and small pizza peel to make the pizza?

Yes, they are two tools designed for different use and both are necessary.
The peel to bake is light and easy, entirely made of aluminum. It is as big as the pizza, because it has to completely support the dough disk.
The small peel, on the other hand, is used to turn the pizza during cooking to ensure that it is cooked evenly: the reduced size of the head allows the pizzaiolo to easily rotate the pizza.
Finally, at the end of cooking, the pizza is stiff enough to be taken out of the oven directly with the small peel, even if the diameter is smaller than the pizza size. Thanks to the material it is made of, the small peel is highly resistant to the heat

Can I shorten the handle?

The handle is available in different lengths depending on the depth of the oven in which it is to be used. In the event that it is still necessary to shorten it, it is possible to do it easily, since it is made of aluminum: simply remove the cap at the end of the handle, cut to the desired length with a hacksaw for metal and reposition the cap.

Is the stainless steel pizza peel better than the aluminum one?

What is the difference between the rectangular and the round pizza peel?

With the rectangular pizza peel it is easier to load the pizza, thanks to the larger contact surface.
With the round peel it is sometimes easier to put the pizza in the oven: when you have to place it next to other pizzas already in the oven, in fact, the operation becomes easier because the round blade allows better maneuverability, within the confined space of the oven.

Why are some pizza peels are perforated?

To slide the pizza on the pizza peel it is necessary to sprinkle the surface with a small quantity of flour: in this way the dough flows without friction. If the peel is not pierced, that flour remains trapped between the peel itself and the dough and, when the pizza is baked, it settles on the hot surface of the oven, carbonizing.
The flour that burns, first of all, will produce smoke and blackish residues, which will dirty the oven and must be removed with a brush, before cooking again.
Secondly, some of that flour will stick to the pizza, forming a burnt crust that will alter its taste.
The holes, therefore, are necessary to eliminate the excess flour: in this way you avoid dirtying the oven and ruining the flavor of the pizza.

Do plastic parts get damaged by heat?

The slides of the small peels are made with a special heat-resistant polymer, suitable for protecting the hands of the pizzaiolo. If the small peel is left in the oven, direct exposure to a temperature above 300 ° C will damage it irreparably.

How long does the heat of the pizza remain in the bags and boxes?

The answer to this question depends on several factors: using a thermal bag together with a simple box has different results from using the same bag combined with an insulated box.
The best solution is to use the insulated box with the thermal bag inside. Obviously, the external temperature influences the heat retention of the bags and boxes, therefore it must be considered in the evaluation, as in the example below. If the insulated box is used in combination with the bag, assuming an external temperature of 15 degrees, there is a variation of one degree per minute: if we consider that, in most cases 20 minutes are more than enough to carry out the home delivery of the pizza, the passage of this period of time does not prevent the pizza from reaching its destination while still hot.
