About the Ooni 12in Perforated Peel
The Ooni 12 inch perforated peel is a launch peel whose drilled blade lets excess flour and semolina drop away before the pizza goes in, so the dough releases clean instead of dragging and sticking. The perforations also make the peel lighter and easier to handle.
It is sized for 12 inch ovens and matches Ooni's Koda and Karu 12 range. Perforated aluminum is the upgrade most home cooks feel first over a solid metal peel, because a clean launch is the step beginners most often get wrong.

Common questions
Why use a perforated pizza peel?
The holes let loose flour and semolina fall through before you launch, so it does not sit under the pizza and burn to bitter specks on the stone, and the dough releases more cleanly. A perforated peel is also lighter than a solid one. It is the upgrade beginners feel most, since a clean launch is the hardest first step.
What size peel fits an Ooni Koda 12?
A 12 inch peel, like this one, which matches the 12 inch stone in the Koda and Karu 12 ovens. The blade should be about as wide as your pizza so nothing hangs over the edge during the launch.
