New Star Foodservice 50196 Aluminum Pizza Peel, 16 x 18 inch Blade

After 5 years it's still working great. I should have gotten the larger size though. Still it's durable and strong, sturdy and long lasting for me with occasional use. The angle is good too.

Great quality and super lightweight

I read a lot of the reviews (good and bad, but mostly the bad) while waiting for this to arrive at my door. A lot of the negative reviews pointed to how bad this product is with sticking dough and burred edges. I just want to run down my take on what those folks have complained about with this product. 1) It's got rough edges --- It does, but they aren't burred nor serrated in any way. The edges are fine. 2) Dough sticks to the paddle --- Not sure about this one as I am yet to experience it. I've had it 3 days and have made 6 pizzas using it as well as 2 calzone. Nothing has stuck yet and I use 70% hydration dough with a long, slow ferment. Not sure why folks have so much trouble with sticking. 3) The handle is rough --- For the price, do you expect polished mahogany or oak? The handle is functional, albeit somewhat in need of a better sanding. Not a problem to remedy myself. This thing is a good buy. It is built well and it has performed flawlessly for me since it arrived the other day. I am happy with this and will be buying the 16 inch version in the future.

So, I was using a wooden peel for my pizza oven, and was making a mess of things while using it. Since getting this peel, I have had SIGNIFICANTLY better results inserting and removing my pizzas. The short handle is sturdy and easy to manipulate, while the blade of the peel is strong enough to hold the most heavily loaded pizzas. The only issue with the peel is that it is harder to manipulate the pizza inside the oven. It’s something that can be worked around, but I opted to get a turning peel to supplement my gear. Well worth it for smaller ovens, and can be used stand alone. If you can swing it, you might want a turning peel for ease of use.

I work at a pizza restaurant and we ordered this pizza paddle because we needed an emergency one back in December. Fast forward 6 months to June, this is the best pizza paddle we've ever had. Normally we buy ours through American metalcraft, and after a few months of wear and tear and beating the hell out of it in a restaurant the rivets are popping out. However this one has not lost a single rivet, and the handle is not loose. I highly recommend this paddle if you want a quality paddle. And if you use this in a home environment I don't see it ever breaking on you, as long as you take care of it.

Seems flimsy at first but it does the job well.

This is the perfect size for outdoor pizza oven or a home stove. Handel is long enough to reach in, while keeping your hands out of the high heat. Peal is sturdy and smooth to transfers pizzas with ease.

The PRODUCT is GOOD…the only MISTAKE I did was that I did NOT measure my PIZZA PANS!!! I can SLIDE it out at an ANGLE!!!! MEASURE…your PIZZA PAN!!!

Excellent
