Pizza Screen 12"/30cm | TurcoBazaar PS12

Q: What deck temperature range suits the PS12 aluminium screen?

A: Aluminium screens perform reliably between 230–300°C, matching typical deck oven settings for Neapolitan and New York-style pizza. Above 320°C, consider stainless steel alternatives. Most pizzerias operate decks at 260–280°C for 10-minute bake cycles.

Q: Does the screen replace stone or steel deck surfaces?

A: No. The screen sits on top of the existing stone or steel deck. It lifts the dough slightly to allow air circulation beneath while the deck provides primary radiant heat. Stone decks remain the heat source.

Q: Can the PS12 be used in gas and electric deck ovens?

A: Yes. The screen is heat-source agnostic. Gas and electric decks both radiate heat upward through the perforations. Conveyor ovens with mesh belts may not require screens.

Q: How many 30cm pizzas fit per standard deck?

A: A single-deck oven measuring 1200mm × 800mm typically accommodates four 30cm screens with clearance. Multi-deck ovens stack capacity vertically. Layout depends on deck dimensions and peel access.

Q: What is the operational lifespan under multi-deck use?

A: Aluminium screens last 500–800 bake cycles before perforation edges show wear or warping begins. Replace when screens no longer sit flat or holes enlarge beyond 4mm. High-volume operations replace screens quarterly.
