The Gozney Pro Placement Peel is designed for those who want greater control over one of the most delicate stages of pizza-making: transferring the pizza to the oven and sliding it in with precision. Gozney has developed its Pro design around a lightweight, perforated peel that is designed to follow the movement of the hand.
It is available in three sizes for 12”, 14” and 16” pizzas, so you can choose the size that matches the diameter of the pizzas you usually make without compromising on the range’s standard features: perforated peel, rounded shape, aluminium construction, contoured handle and replaceable handle.
Three sizes
The Pro Placement Peel is available in three sizes: Standard for 12″ pizzas, Large for 14″ pizzas and Extra Large for 16″ pizzas. In the metric system, these correspond approximately to diameters of 30.5, 35.6 and 40.6 cm.
This allows you to choose the version based directly on the size of pizza you are making. The size may vary, but the design of the peel remains the same: all three versions share the Pro features of construction, perforation and handle.
Hexagonal perforation to remove excess flour
The surface of the peel is fully perforated in a hexagonal pattern. As you move the pizza across it, the holes allow some of the excess flour to fall away before the dough enters the oven.
This is particularly useful when launching the pizza: less flour accumulated under the base means less is likely to burn off during cooking. The perforation is a feature of all three sizes.
Rounded shape
Rather than ending in a completely straight edge, the Pro Placement Peel features a rounded profile. Gozney has designed this shape to help the pizza chef maintain a circular pizza whilst working with it on the peel.
The curve is combined with the perforated surface in a single piece. Thus, the design is not limited to transporting the pizza: it is also conceived with the preparation prior to placing the pizza in the oven in mind.
Contoured handle
The aluminium handle does not have a conventional flat profile. Its sides are angled to ensure a secure grip, and its underside is curved so that it can slide freely through the hand during the launch.
This profile comes into its own the moment the pizza is placed in the oven: it allows you to follow the forward and backward motion without the handle feeling like a rigid object in your hand. It is one of the features that defines the ‘Pro’ approach of this peel.
Lightweight aluminium
Gozney uses aluminium in both the peel and the handle, resulting in a lightweight yet sturdy construction. The aim is for the tool to respond effortlessly to the movements of the pizza maker.
This lightness is particularly important when loading the pizza, approaching the oven door and making the toss. The peel is designed to feel like an extension of the arm’s movement, avoiding adding unnecessary complexity to the action.
Replaceable handle
The handle of the Pro Placement Peel is replaceable. This is a practical feature in a tool designed for continuous use, as the handle is not intended to be an integral part of the whole peel.
The image shows a close-up of the joint between the handle and the peel to illustrate its construction. Gozney confirms that the handle can be replaced, and this applies to the Standard, Large and Extra Large versions.
