Square perforated pizza peel Hendi 617137

This square perforated pizza peel combines an anodised aluminium blade with openings that let excess flour fall away. It is designed for the repeated movement of pizzas between preparation and the oven, where a clean transfer surface helps keep loose flour from travelling with the pizza.

Where it is used

Use the peel at a pizzeria or restaurant pizza station to transfer pizzas from the preparation bench to the oven. Its square blade provides a flat platform to support the pizza during that movement, while the perforations allow loose flour to pass through before loading. This helps reduce flour carried onto the oven deck, where it can otherwise burn during service.

The peel’s overall length provides reach for loading and retrieving pizzas at the oven opening. The perforated surface is particularly useful when dough has been dusted with flour at the bench: loose flour can fall away during the transfer rather than being swept into the oven with the pizza.

Care

The blade is made from anodised aluminium. Aluminium’s relatively light weight helps keep the tool manageable during frequent handling, and the anodised surface is corrosion resistant for regular use in a kitchen environment. Its smooth exposed surface is also straightforward to keep clean; clear the openings as well as the blade so flour does not obstruct the route through the perforations.

How to choose

Consider the blade’s 305 mm width alongside the pizzas and preparation space at the station: the square platform offers support across the pizza while remaining a defined working surface to manoeuvre. The 1320 mm overall length is relevant when comparing reach from the bench to the oven and the space available to handle and store the peel.

At 0.61 kg, the peel is relatively light to lift and reposition. That can reduce effort across repeated loading and unloading movements during a busy service, while the anodised aluminium construction combines that manageable handling with a corrosion-resistant surface.
