12″ (30 cm) Perforated Pizza Peel

Witt 12" (30 cm) Perforated Pizza Peel

The Witt 30 cm Perforated Pizza Peel is an essential, ultra-thin tool designed for effortlessly launching and retrieving your baked goods. Perfectly sized for handling pizzas up to 30 cm, as well as bread and focaccia, it ensures that the dough remains intact and transfers precisely onto the hot baking stone.

With its modern, minimalist design, this peel is a premium addition to any kitchen, favored by both enthusiastic home cooks and professional chefs.

Lightweight and Durable Construction

Striking the perfect balance between longevity and ease of use, this peel is constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant aluminum built to withstand intense baking temperatures.

The ergonomic, heat-resistant aluminum handle provides a comfortable and safe grip, keeping hands protected from the heat. Because it is so lightweight, it minimizes arm fatigue during extended baking sessions, making it the perfect companion for family gatherings or pizza parties.

The Perforation Advantage

The perforated blade is highly functional, streamlining the baking process from prep to oven. The specialized hole pattern minimizes surface area to reduce the chance of dough sticking, ensuring a smooth, effortless slide.

Crucially, it allows excess flour to fall away before the pizza hits the stone. This prevents bitter, burnt flour spots on the bottom of the crust, maintains a cleaner baking environment, and guarantees a perfectly crispy base every time.

Usage Tips and Maintenance

For the best results, Witt recommends lightly flouring the surface before use, particularly when working with fresh, highly hydrated dough. When launching or retrieving, use quick, firm movements to further minimize any risk of sticking. Be sure to use the perforations to shake off excess flour right before placing the pizza in the oven.

Keeping the peel in top condition is simple:

• Hand wash the blade and handle with warm water and a mild detergent, completely avoiding the dishwasher to protect the aluminum finish.
  
• Dry the tool thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots, and store it in a dry place, optionally hanging it by the convenient hole at the end of the handle.
  
• Regularly check that the perforations are free of baked-on food or flour. Should the surface ever begin to show signs of heavy wear, gently rubbing it with fine sandpaper will easily refresh the material, ensuring this reliable tool lasts for years.
