Product Information
Full details
The Scaritech Alveopizz Pizza Dough Proofing Tray is designed for professional chefs and home pizza enthusiasts who require consistent fermentation results for high-quality crusts. By providing 11 individual cavities, this tray ensures every dough ball maintains its ideal shape and structure throughout the proofing process. While the tray is highly effective at preventing crusting and optimizing space, users should note that its specific dimensions require adequate storage space in standard-sized residential refrigeration units.

FAQs
Can I put the Alveopizz tray in the dishwasher?
While the material is resilient, hand-washing with mild soap is recommended to extend the lifespan of the tray.
Does this tray need a lid?
The tray is designed to prevent evaporation; however, if your proofing area is drafty, it is best practice to cover the top tray of your stack.
Can I use this for high-hydration dough?
Yes, the tray is well-suited for high-hydration doughs as its non-stick properties help maintain the integrity of sticky dough.
What is the maximum dough ball weight recommended?
The cavities are optimized for 200 to 350 grams; exceeding 350 grams may cause the dough to overflow and touch adjacent balls.
Is the tray BPA-free?
Yes, the materials used in Scaritech products are food-grade and safe for direct dough contact.
Troubleshooting
Dough sticking to the bottom of the cavity
Lightly dust the bottom of each cavity with a small amount of semolina or flour before placing the dough ball.
Dough appears to have a dry skin despite the tray
Ensure the tray is placed in a space with minimal direct airflow and keep the stacking cover or secondary lid secured.
Plastic feels brittle after cold storage
Allow the tray to return to room temperature for 5-10 minutes before attempting to flex or deep clean it to prevent cracking.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, thoroughly sanitize the tray with food-safe detergent and warm water. While the material is durable, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface, as scratches can harbor bacteria. When in use, ensure the tray is placed on a level surface to prevent the dough from sliding to one side of the cavity. For long-term storage, avoid stacking heavy items on top of the tray to prevent warping. The tray is compatible with standard professional refrigeration racks; however, verify your interior fridge dimensions against the tray's footprint to ensure it fits comfortably without obstructing airflow.
