Review on πŸ• Restaurant-Grade Wooden Pizza Peel: New Star Foodservice 50295 with 10" Handle, 16"L x 14"W Plate, 24" Overall Length by David Shah

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's not a terrible scrub.

but this bowl is far from 'finished'. As others have said, its surface is quite rough and I had to use 1500 grit sandpaper to smooth it out a bit. I don't know why it's not possible in production. It's surprisingly light for its size. My bowl had no odor, labels or cracks. I've made 2 pizzas with it and haven't had any sticking issues (the generous amount of cornmeal helped a lot). While I wish the front of the shell was a little thinner, getting the pizza off the pizza stone (on the grill) was fairly easy. Unfortunately, you can't cut the pizza while it's on the skin. You will definitely gouge out the wood. Of course some cheese and sauce got on the skin and it wasn't easy to peel it off (I didn't want to use a lot of soap and water because the thing is very porous). However, there are no warps or cracks. The bottom line is that if you sand it and treat the wood with mineral oil, it should be easier to clean and extend the life of the skin. However, I'm giving this one away as I recently found and bought a favorite scrub that got lost when I moved. (picurean pizza, 21.5 in x 14 in)

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
