The tapered blade design eliminates messy oven transfers by creating an air pocket under the pizza – tested to reduce dough sticking by 78% compared to flat-edged peels. The full-length handle distributes weight evenly, preventing wrist strain during repeated loading/unloading cycles in busy kitchen environments.

Built with FSC-certified hard maple and featuring a proprietary food-grade finish that resists warping better than standard beechwood models (independent lab testing shows 40% less expansion after 50 oven cycles).
