We Love Pasta Eppicotispai Pizza Shovel, Pizza Paddle, Pizza Peel, Birch Wood, Also Available in a Set, 30 x 41.5 cm, Wood, 1 Item

I had this for about 2 months now and so far the board is doing well. Was a bit scared due to other reviewers but for the price i cant complain, does a great job of getting my pizza in and out of my oven. No complaints so far. A suggestion to the manufacturer though, a bit of rope to hang it from the handle would be a very cheap but such a handy addition.

The company who make these must be making a mint, because this must cost very little to produce. Nonetheless, it's much cheaper than most peels available here, and does the job well. My pizza maestro has no complaints. We haven't washed it, so no idea how it stands up to getting wet.

Pizza Paddle / Peel This is obviously a cheap product, so you can't expect solid wood - although it seems some of the reviewers did. I bought it after we got a wood fired pizza oven and it's fine for this, although really you need a wooden peel like this to prepare the pizza and put them in the oven and then ideally a metal peel to take them out. I just put some cornmeal on the peel which stops the pizza sticking, but I’ve read that you can use semolina as an alternative, but not flour as it burns (mad this mistake the 1st time). You can use this wooden one to take them out but you've got to be quick to avoid burning it. As we are making pizzas quite often I’ve just bought a 2nd one of these wooden peels so I can prepare 2 at a time and get a metal peel for removing them. As others have mentioned if you put it in water the wood will swell, but I wouldn’t call it splinters. After this happened I sanded it down and seasoned it with oil. This helps it withstand staining better so it doesn’t need washing that often. All in all a good product.

I use it with a sprinkle of semolina for launching pizzas into my ooni fyra and nothing else. I'd read reviews saying it can easily warp or the ply layers can come away, but I've been very careful washing/wiping it clean and drying it, so it is still in perfect condition. If you look after it, it's great value for money and will last.

As mentioned in previous reviews, this is a plywood pizza peel. This is fine as makes it very lightweight and strong for its thickness. What hasnt impressed me is the handle, its not long enough. I dont have big hands but when you hold by the handle it does not feel very comfortable with the end of the handle finishing 2/3rds of the way in my fist. If it had been and extra 2 inches longer I would have given this 5 star.

A must have item if you want to make pizza or bread at home using an oven baking/pizza stone. Just add a little flour and semolina before shaping your pizza dough, add topping, lift the crust slightly and blow a little to raise the pizza a little, shake the peel a little, then slide onto oven baking stone, simple. Removing your wonderful pizza when cooked is simple and safe. Very easy to clean, I use my pastry scraper and a damp cloth.

Firstly the dimensions stated in the description are wrong, the paddle is smaller than described Also the quality of the wood is not very good, its thin cheap poly-wood which could do with a fine grade sand paper rubbed over it before using it as it is pretty rough . Also there is no brand stamp as in the image (not that that makes a difference to quality ) however, if like me you will open your delivery and be a bit underwhelmed that it doesn't look like it does in the product image

Bought this along with a pizza stone and really glad I did. It is larger than I expected but it needs to be to lift a whole pizza. Quite expensive for what it is but very useful.
