Ooni Pizza Prep Lid — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ooni Pizza Prep Lid and what does it do?
The Ooni Pizza Prep Lid is a versatile bamboo work surface that nests securely on top of the Ooni Pizza Dough Boxes. It functions both as a lid and as a prep board for stretching dough, assembling toppings, or serving pizzas.
What are its dimensions, weight, and material?
The prep lid measures approximately **16.7″ × 12.8″ × 0.51″** (42.5 cm × 32.5 cm × 1.3 cm) and weighs about **2.9 lbs**. It is made from FSC-certified sustainable bamboo that is moisture-resistant.
How should I care for and clean the Ooni Pizza Prep Lid?
Hand wash only using mild soap and water. Avoid soaking, abrasive scrubbers, or harsh chemicals. Dry thoroughly before storing indoors. It is not meant for prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
Is the prep lid compatible with Ooni dough boxes and accessories?
Yes — it is designed to nest on top of the Ooni Pizza Dough Boxes, converting them into a flat working surface. This stacking design helps you save counter and storage space.
Can I use it as a cutting board or serving board?
Yes, the smooth bamboo surface is suitable for light cutting and serving tasks, but avoid deep scoring with sharp knives, which can damage the surface over time. Use with care. This is an auxiliary function beyond its primary role. (Note: many users use it for topping prep and serving.)
What should I avoid doing to protect the lid’s longevity?
Avoid putting it into a dishwasher, exposing it to high heat or open flame, or letting it remain wet for extended periods. Also, avoid heavy chopping or percussion that can crack or warp the bamboo. Proper care ensures long life.
