Alfresco Pizza Peel — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Alfresco Pizza Peel used for?
The Alfresco Pizza Peel is a stainless steel paddle designed to help you slide pizzas in and out of your wood- or gas-fired oven, allowing you to reach the oven chamber safely while precisely placing or retrieving your pizza.
What materials and design features does the Champagne Peel have?
It is constructed from stainless steel for durability under high oven temperatures. The blade is smooth to help reduce sticking and ease transfer of dough.
What length or dimensions should I expect?
While the exact overall length isn’t published on the ATBBQ page, related listings suggest that the peel is long enough to let you handle pizzas without getting too close to the fire.
Can I use this peel in ovens other than Alfresco models?
Yes — although it’s marketed for Alfresco ovens, its stainless steel blade and general design make it usable in most wood- or gas-fired pizza ovens as long as the oven opening and chamber dimensions are compatible.
How should I clean and maintain the Alfresco Pizza Peel?
After use and once cooled, wipe the stainless steel surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasives or steel wool which can scratch the surface. Dry it thoroughly before storing to prevent spotting or corrosion.
What are common issues or limitations I should watch out for?
Because stainless steel is heat-conductive, the handle (if metal) or exposed parts may get hot — use heat protection. Also, if the oven cavity is narrow or has low clearance, the peel length or width might be a constraint. Always check that the peel fits your oven geometry before use.
