Short-handled pizza peel Hendi 618097
Technical data 01 / 02
This short-handled pizza peel has a large, square head and perforations that let excess flour fall through. Its compact handle suits a confined pizza station, while the ergonomic, heat-insulating grip supports controlled handling near the oven.
Where it is used
Use the peel to transfer pizzas between preparation and the oven. The broad, square head gives the base a flat support area during loading and retrieval. Perforations allow loose flour to fall away before the pizza reaches the oven deck, useful when working with floured bases at a compact pizza station.
The short handle reduces the reach behind the head, making the peel easier to manoeuvre where space is limited. The ergonomic, heat-insulating grip supports a comfortable hold and reduces heat transfer towards the hand during work near the oven. These features help the operator guide the peel through the loading movement without a long sweep through the preparation area.
Care
The peel head is made from anodised aluminium. Anodising hardens the surface and improves resistance to wear and corrosion, helping it withstand repeated handling at a pizza station. Its corrosion resistance is useful in a damp kitchen, and the metal surface is straightforward to keep clean as part of routine utensil care.
How to choose
The overall 300 × 600 mm dimensions describe the peel’s working footprint and reach. Compare that footprint with the space available at the pizza station, and consider the reach when deciding where the utensil will be kept between service periods. The broad head provides a supporting surface for moving pizzas, so its footprint is relevant to the operator’s working area as well as storage.
At 0.41 kg, the peel is lighter than most products in this category. Its lower weight means less mass to lift and manoeuvre, helping reduce effort when the operator repeatedly raises the peel to load or retrieve pizzas. The short handle suits a confined station; the overall dimensions and lower weight therefore serve different practical considerations when choosing a peel for the workspace.
