No. 01 — Compact storage in domestic kitchens
The folding handle solves the common problem of storing a wide paddle in standard kitchen cabinetry. At this price point, the aluminum construction is lightweight, though the folding joint introduces noticeable flex under heavy loads. Because the blade is solid rather than perforated, extra care is required to avoid transferring excess bench flour onto hot baking stones.
No. 02 — Prepping and launching 12-inch home pizzas
A straightforward 12-inch bamboo paddle suited for dough prep, launching, and direct cutting. Conditioned bamboo offers low friction during launching, which helps prevent raw dough from sticking. Its thicker front edge, however, will complicate turning or retrieving pies inside cramped, high-heat outdoor ovens.
No. 03 — Budget launching in 12-inch pizza ovens
This aluminum peel features a low-profile blade that slips easily under parbaked dough inside tight 12-inch chambers. While lightweight and bundled with a dedicated rocker cutter, the solid sheet carries surplus dusting flour straight onto the baking stone. It is a functional entry-level accessory for small outdoor ovens or indoor setups.
