About the G.a HOMEFAVOR 14in Turning Peel
The G.a HOMEFAVOR 14 inch turning peel is a small round blade on a long handle, made for spinning the pizza inside a hot oven so it bakes evenly rather than scorching on the side facing the flame. In a 900F oven, turning is how you avoid a burnt edge.
A turning peel lifts and rotates rather than carries, which is why the round blade is small. The long handle keeps your hand away from the heat. Paired with a wide launch peel, it completes the two-peel setup most serious home cooks settle on.

Common questions
Do I need a turning peel?
In a hot dedicated pizza oven, effectively yes. At 900F 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. In a cooler home oven it matters less.
How do you use a turning peel?
Slide the round blade under one edge of the baking pizza, lift slightly, and rotate it a quarter or half turn, then repeat every 20 to 30 seconds through the bake. The long handle keeps your hand out of the heat. A light touch avoids dragging toppings off.
