In this video, we explain the purpose of three essential peels:

  • Wooden peel — ideal for preparing and launching pizzas

  • Perforated peel — removes excess flour for a cleaner bake

  • Turning peel — used for rotating pizza, shielding crusts, and handling wood

You’ll also see how to rotate a pizza properly inside the oven and how a turning peel helps prevent burning when working with strong flames.

Key takeaway:

Each peel has a role — using the right one improves every bake.
