This offer ends in:
The SPP14012S is a perforated pizza peel with a 12-inch square blade and 140 cm metal handle. The perforations release trapped steam during transfer, reducing base moisture during stone-deck baking. Used in pizzerias and Italian restaurants operating wood-fired or electric deck ovens.
Commercial Application
The peel transfers shaped dough onto heated stone or steel deck surfaces at 300–450°C. The perforated blade allows steam to escape before the base sets, preventing soggy centres. The 140 cm handle keeps operators at a safe distance from radiant heat.
Used during high-volume service to load and retrieve pizzas from multiple deck positions. The square blade matches standard 12-inch pizza dimensions. Perforations reduce the need for excess flour on the deck surface.
Key Operational Advantages
- Perforated 12x12-inch stainless steel blade allows steam release during transfer

- 0.8 kg total weight enables single-handed operation during high-volume service
- Stainless steel construction withstands repeated thermal cycling and acidic tomato contact
- Square blade design aligns with standard 12-inch pizza footprint
- Perforations reduce flour accumulation on stone deck surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What deck temperature range is this peel rated for?
A: The stainless steel construction withstands continuous use at deck temperatures between 300°C and 450°C. The 140 cm handle keeps the operator's hands outside the radiant heat zone.
Q: Does the perforated blade work with stone or steel deck surfaces?
A: The peel functions on both stone and steel decks. Perforations release steam regardless of deck material. Stone decks benefit from reduced flour buildup due to improved air circulation.
Q: Can this peel handle pizzas larger than 12 inches?
A: The 12-inch square blade is dimensioned for 12-inch pizzas. Larger pizzas require a bigger blade to maintain dough support during transfer and prevent edge droop.
Q: Is the 140 cm handle suitable for multi-deck ovens?
A: The 140 cm length provides reach for upper and lower deck positions in standard multi-deck configurations. Verify internal oven depth before ordering for deep cavity ovens.
Q: How does the perforated blade affect loading speed?
A: Perforations reduce friction between raw dough and blade surface, allowing faster slide-off onto the deck. Steam release also prevents dough from sticking mid-transfer during high-volume periods.
