Great Product!

Love this! Not only is this functional but beautiful as well! So glad I made this choice! I was debating which to get after reading all the reviews on wooden, epicurean and metal ones but finally settled on this one and glad I did. They must've improved the label as there was NO sticky residue when I removed the label, so a pleasant surprise. I've used this multiple times now and with using corn meal which all the experienced pizza makers recommend no matter the pizza peel, had no problems getting my pizzas to slide off onto the heated pizza stone or getting it back onto the peel for cooling and cutting. I did season it with a bit of olive oil before and after use as well, it recommends mineral oil on the label but I though olive oil sounded a bit tastier as it is absorbed by the wood.

JUST RIGHT! Just oil it before you first use it & don't cut your pizza on it.

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2012

Verified Purchase

I considered all options, both metals and various woods, and all price ranges before ordering this one. This is my second peel, purchased as a gift.

This pizza peel is solid bamboo and finished well. It's light-weight, easy to handle, dense, and sturdy. It doesn't need to be babied, but because it's wood, you have to take care of it. I wash it right away after use, dry it well, and put it away.

Don't cut your pizza on this board.
Don't allow anyone to use it as a cutting board.
Don't leave it soaking in water in the sink.

One important tip for any wooden peel (or any cutting board for that matter) is to be sure to OIL it lightly (all over) with plain MINERAL OIL before you use it. You can get this at any drugstore. If you do this, the pizza will slide off easily from the very first time you use it.

If you oil it once in a while-- before it looks dry-- your pizza won't stick (as some reviewers have complained) and your peel will stay looking like new.

I expect these to last for years to come.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. You don't need to spend more.

Solid, Sustainable, and Safe BUT too big for coutertop ovens

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

Update 2/25/2013 -
After using this for a weekend, I have discovered that it is a little too big for my Breville Smart Oven. That is the largest of the small ovens available, so please beware that you need a slightly smaller peel to use in a 12" or 13" oven. It will be fine for my full size oven, when I make a 16" pizza, but not for the small ones.

The below still applies.

Well, how much can you say about a piece of wood. But, I didn't want to let these folks go without a review on their product.

Pros:
It's big!
It's heavy (me likey heavy, especially if my dinner is on the end of it)
It's Bamboo. I'm not an eco-nut, but I do like sustainable things. Bamboo is renewable.
It's Bamboo. Bamboo has anti-bacterial properties, that make it less maintenance than other woods.

Cons:
I would like the handle to be rounded a little bit with a router (which I intend to do myself)
I would like the leather hanging lanyard to be a little larger. It really isn't long enough (at about a 3" circumference)

Overall, well done.

This has been one of the best buys for my kitchen in a long time! It gets used all the time (not for cutting - ever!) It's easy to clean, loks fabulous on my wall - and is the perfect size! I'd get another, but I'm sure it will live long beyond me. Maybe a smaller one! Great buy - VERY reasonably priced, if you bake bread or make pizza - this is an essential!

Beautiful and effective

This paddle is the perfect addition to the Artisan Bread book! With a little cornmeal on the board your loaf slides easily and perfectly onto the stone in the oven. It's beautiful and a pleasure to use. I have a bamboo cutting board that I've had for some time and it wears amazingly well...and so do I expect this paddle to wear well as it too is bamboo and is made well.

Pretty good peel

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2011

Verified Purchase

I've been using this peel daily for a couple of weeks now.

First the bad: I haven't been able to get the glue strip off from the label that was slapped directly to the peel. I've tried hot, sudsy water. Tried alcohol. Tried a citrus based cleaner. Nothing is getting the last of the gummy residue off. Which means I can only use one side of the peel.

Next the indifferent: Yes, this peel is a little on the thick side. Maybe if you're using it to remove pizzas and things from the oven that might be a problem. It's not really a problem for me because I'm just using it to rise and rest bread loaves and then transfer them onto a baking stone inside the oven.

And finally the good: As I said, I've been using it daily (and sometimes multiple times per day) for several weeks. It's standing up perfectly to the constant use. After I transfer my bread into the oven I wipe the peel down with a soapy rag, rinse it, and dry it with a soft towel. You can't tell this thing has ever been used. It looks very pretty hanging from the leather thong beside my oven. It's well constructed and while you can see where bamboo pieces were joined to form it, you can't feel a single bubble, gap, or seam. That's great for me because imperfections in the surface are likely to trap cornmeal or flour and be a real pain to clean up. It's also pretty heat resistant. It took me some practice to perfect the technique for transferring sticky dough from the peel to my hot baking stone and more than a few times the peel came in direct contact with the very hot stone but the peel is none the worse for it.

For my purposes this is a wonderful peel that could only be made better by not having that stupid strip of adhesive that I can't get off.

High Quality Pizza Peel

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

I just started doing pizza on the grill and needed a pizza peel. After reading several other reviews on this peel I decided to order one and check it out. The quality and price were so good that I've since ordered a second peel. This peel is just the right size for most medium pizza's (or large square pizzas) and the handle is just the right size for a standard oven or grill!

The only thing I would recommend is having some high quality food safe wood oil on hand to season the wood. (As with any wood product you'll want to protect the surface from deep water penetration etc. so this is where a good food grade wood oil will come in to play.)
