About the Gi.Metal Perforated Turning Peel
This is Gi.Metal's round turning peel, the pizzeria tool for spinning a pizza inside a hot oven so it bakes evenly. The perforated anodized-aluminium head sheds flour and sits on a long, balanced handle that keeps your hand out of the heat.
It pairs with a wide launch peel: launch with one, turn with this. In a 900F oven the side facing the flame cooks in seconds, so turning the pizza a few times is how you avoid a scorched edge, and a pro turning peel makes it easy.

Common questions
Do I need a separate turning peel?
In a hot dedicated pizza oven, effectively yes. The side facing the flame cooks in seconds, so you turn the pizza two or three times for an even bake, which a small round turning peel does far better than a wide launch peel. This Gi.Metal is a pizzeria-grade version.
What is the difference between a launch peel and a turning peel?
A launch peel is wide and flat to carry the built pizza and slide it onto the stone; a turning peel has a small round head to lift and spin the pizza inside the oven. Most serious setups use both: launch with one, turn with the other.
