FAQs
What is the maximum pizza size this peel can handle?
The Witt Pizza Peel is designed to handle pizzas up to 36cm (approximately 14 inches) in diameter.
Can I put this pizza peel in the dishwasher?
No, hand washing is recommended. Dishwashers can damage the aluminum material and the connection of the detachable handle.
Why is the peel perforated?
The perforations allow excess flour or cornmeal to fall through, resulting in a cleaner pizza base and preventing burnt flour from sticking to the bottom of your pizza.
How do I store the pizza peel?
The handle detaches, allowing for compact storage. You can store it flat in a narrow space or hang it up.
Is the aluminum blade sharp?
The blade is ultra-thin for easy sliding but is not sharp like a knife. It is designed for lifting and transferring food.
What material is the pizza peel made of?
The blade and body are made of aluminum, and the handle is typically made of a durable material suitable for kitchen use.
Troubleshooting
Pizza sticks to the peel
Ensure the peel is adequately dusted with flour or cornmeal before placing the pizza on it. Also, make sure the blade is pushed completely under the pizza before lifting.
Handle feels loose
Re-attach the handle and ensure it is securely fastened. Check for any debris obstructing the connection point.
Flour does not fall through perforations
Ensure the perforations are clear of any dough residue. A gentle brush or rinse should clear any blockages.
Aluminum blade shows scratches or minor marks
This is normal wear and tear for aluminum peels. Continue to use as normal, ensuring proper cleaning and drying to maintain longevity.
