There are loads of pizza peels available on the market … the big question is which one should you choose?  This week I tried out Pizza Party’s range of pizza peels … 

The metal turning peel is used to turn the pizza inside the oven.  I use a turning peel to cook pizza for these reasons:

• I don’t have to pull the pizza out of the oven to turn it with my fingers (no more hot fingers!)
• As I turn the pizza, it continues to cook.
• Provides fast control to prevent the crusts from overcooking.
• Maintains the cook on the pizza base as you rotate.

This peel was great to use, easy to handle as it is made out of lightweight aluminium.  The perforations in the metal allow excess flour to drop away.  And the heat of the stone will continue to cook the base as you rotate the pizza with the heat penetrating through the holes onto the base.
