How to choose your pizza shovel ?

Pizza making is not easy as it seems, especially if you make a large pizza in wood fired oven, blackstone traditional oven or commercial-grade pizza oven.

About the size of your pizza shovels, two elements must be considered : the length of the handle and the size of the head of your peel. For the length of the handle, choose a model according to the size of your cooking appliance. Indeed, the size of your pizza peel should fit perfectly into the oven. If your professional pizza oven is very deep, you will need to have a long oversize handle to optimize the available space and facilitate your movements. The size and shape of your peel head will depend on the size and shape of your pizza dough. You can choose a round or rectangular shovel head that will fit the size of your oven, whether it is an electric oven or a wood-fired oven.

Most of these kitchen items are made of wood, stainless steel and aluminium. If on the one hand, the wooden pizza peel combines vintage charm and solidity, on the other hand nothing beats a stainless steel shovel for manageability. Indeed, the aluminium shovel is much lighter and therefore easier to handle.  The big advantage of the wooden pizza peel is that this material does not conduct heat and thus is heat resistant. There are also stainless steel pizza shovels with a rubber or plastic handle for an easy and safe grip.
