Aluminum Pizza Peel by Cuisinart CPP-614, 14 Review

It's slightly smaller than standard pizza stones (most are 14") which is PERFECT if you have to fit it in an oven on wheels. 14 inch bricks are too big for most 3/4 inch stoves. If your van cooker burns food raw at the bottom and top, you NEED this for even heat dissipation/distribution. This solved the problem IMMEDIATELY. Just place it in the bottom pan under the bottom pan for the burner to heat it up first and radiate to cooking. It also happens to work great for pizza, but stays in our…

I was reheating pizza for the first time and the fire alarm went off. The whole house stank, the food went bad and at first I really thought my oven burned out. Turn off all power. Tried another oven, another night and it happened again! I was just trying to reheat some french bread and the smoke and smell was almost like it was some horrible joke. This is not a Quisinart product and NO ONE SHOULD BUY IT. I have some big rocks that are fine. Not just a little bad, but an uncomfortable and…

I ordered a cordierite pizza stone from Cuisinart at a very good price. It arrived two days before the delivery date which was great. However, the "BBQ Buddy" logo has been embossed in the center of the stone. It was neither in the description nor in the pictures. I'd be less, if a little, upset if "Cuisinart" was embossed on it. BBQ Buddy sounds like it's going to be featured on a platter of squirrels and possums at a cousin date party. The brick must be level. It is burned, cut and burned…

Super innovative pizza spinner! I can't believe nobody understood this until recently. Instead of the clumsy motion of scooping the skinned pizza, try flipping it, putting it back, repeating... This slingshot makes flipping pizza 100 times easier! Amazing invention! So you use the peel to put a cold pizza in the oven. Let the crust develop a bit. Then use the turner to turn the pizza a quarter turn at a time. Hold the turner, one in each hand, and use the push-pull technique to flip the pizza…

I have an Ooni 3. I use wooden scrapers to slide pizza into the oven and Ooni metal (a thin sheet of aluminum) to get cake out. Before I put the Ooni bowl under the cake, take the cake out of the oven, turn the cake over and put the metal bowl back in. When baking pizza in the Ooni 3, Koda, Fyra, and similar Ooni ovens, it is important to rotate the pizza as the temperature inside the oven is uneven and is much hotter in the back of the oven next to the wood or gas burner. I now use the metal…

This pizza stone cleaning brush is durable and ideal for the advertised purpose of cleaning the pizza stone *after* cooking as it cools. However, I think that limits its usefulness a bit. I think it's quite common for people to bake more than one pizza at a time and you'll need something to remove burnt flour and clean the stone between uses while it's still hot. A scraper might work for this, but in my experience a brush is much more effective. (Would you use a scraper or brush to dust the…
