A must for the serious pizza September 10, 2008
Good workmanship and it makes getting the pizza out of oven much easier. Highly recommended.

Useless July 17, 2008

So,
I was very excited by this peel because of the folding handle. My mistake.
The problem with this peel is that pizza dough doesn't slide off of the peel at all! I've tried putting tons of flour on it, cornmeal, spatulas, everything! But nothing seems to work to get the pizza to slide off! Maybe if I cooked the dough first, that would work, but that's not what I'd use a peel for!
I've now set of the smoke alarms twice in my house because the pizza toppings have fallen off the pizza into the oven, while the pizza just sits on the dumb peel and refuses to move.
And it's not like I'm using too many toppings: light sauce, cheese, mushrooms, and onions.
Avoid!

I expected more from this pizza peel June 13, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

I recently used my pizza peel and expected everything to turn out just right. I tried to follow the instructions and coat the peel to have the pizza dough just slide right off. Didn't happen! In fact, it got so hung up on the peel that it had to be reshaped and put on the pizza stone by hand. That's really disappointing. Also, as some other reviewer noted, the peel scratches very easily.

I enjoy making homemade pizza and I think I will just end up using this pizza peel to remove the completed pizza from the oven and continue to place my pizza directly on my cooking stone without using the peel. It is a shame because I had high hopes for this peel.

Maybe I can find some other uses, like taking items off the barbeque grill when I cannot find my large spatula.

July 2008 Update: I used the pizza peel again to cook pizza on the grill. I found that as long as I make sure that I completely coat the peel with cornmeal (I inadventently put cornstarch first time around--thanks for comments noting my error), it is easier to slide the dough off the peel onto my stone. Unfortunately, it still takes some work so that the dough slids off without curling over itself, but I think I have the hang of it.

Handle is long enough to reach the pizza from the hot oven and it folds for easy storage. I am glad that I purchased this one!

FOLDING HANDLE WON'T STAY TIGHT April 26, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful

I WAS VERY EXCITED TO ORDER THIS AS I EXPECTED GREAT QUALITY FROM SUCH A GREAT CHEF, UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I FIRST TRIED TO UNFOLD THE HANDLE I NOTICED THAT IT DID NOT PROPERLY FIT IN THE NOTCHED WOOD, HENCE MAKING THE SCREW UNABLE TO REMAIN TIGHTENED, DISAPPOINTING AS WITH A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO WHERE THE WHOLE WAS PUT FOR THE SCREW IT WOULD HAVE FIT AND BEEN QUITE USEFUL.
