Don't know about the other model. But my wife is thrilled with the way this works. Lifts the dough off the doughboard and puts it down on the pizza stone with ease.

I dont know about the $72 model, but what I do know is I've used this one once and it worked pretty well. By putting the peel against the bottom of the crust (uncooked then cooked) I slide the pie up and off the peel (then on and off my pizza stone) as the directions suggested.

The 72 dollar model uses wood as the base. The pro uses a composite material. As for how it works, the Amazon picture shows just one side. The other side has a full-length split in the cloth material so that it can straddle the handle. Thus, as you slide the material forward to get the pizza onto the cooking surface the split will become visible on the pizza side of the composite peel.

Mine is more like 9 3/4- there is a metal underrim that reduces the "usable" length. I love it- it looks great. But don't think you can overload it- my son cuts the crusts off and then puts two slices in so he can make a sandwich more quickly- but it has a safety switch or something and will stop functioning.

I used to work in a pizza shop. This is what we used. They will accommodate smaller sizes. when we used them we would roll the dough out to a bit larger than the screen then tap the screen to get the dough to contract. By tap I mean we laid the dough on the screen picked it up off counter surface by a few inches and let it fall. Just ordered one for home use.

It does slide out. It wouldn't be much of a crumb tray if it wasn't removable :-)

The attachment I bought has the knob on the one side. That is used to adjust the thickness of the dough you are rolling out. I bought this for under $100 and it works great. I actually use it for pizza dough and put the strips together in the pan to form a rectangular pizza.

Lots of people complain about that, mine was not that bad comparatively. It did seem to get a little smoother with use. Mine was never jerky or sticky but it was never buttery smooth either. Definitely has a cheap feel to it. How long have you had it?

Mine is in a cabinet which has a wood bottom. I have 3 cookie sheet, 3 stoneware item,(1 cookie, 2 pizza stones) and 3 8"in cake pans in my rack. I never had had any problems with it sliding when I am putting away any of these items.. I really love this item. Can't believe how much stuff it holds. Hope this helps

I haven't done that, but it may work if you prepare your crust on parchment and slide the whole thing on your pizzeria. I make my crusts on parchment and they cook perfectly and are easy to put on and take off. Heating on 3 and cooking on 1 has also worked best for me. Let us know how it works for you.

I have an aluminum peel with wood handle and use it to slide my pizza or bread dough from peel to steel and visa versa. The baking steel can get some scratches from use but it has no effect on the sheet as it is only cosmetic.

I would say closer to 1/2" and tapered at the edges. No way a whole inch. It's nice and solid however. I think an inch would be too heavy and impossible to slide a pizza on and off at all easily.

It's not slippery, just bulky for the hand. Our toddler broke our first one and within a month of replacing it, I dropped and broke the second. The butter cost more than the dish (we got ours at a kitchen store in the outlet mall for $4.98). Now I am on a hunt for a plastic dish until our little guy is older.

Mine didn't come with anything either, I had a cheap, paper thin version, and COULD be cut to fit.. they got cut with the pizza cutter, (etc.) they continued to work fine, I got tired of stuff getting under them, so I tossed them, best of luck, with your issue...

It sure did not surprise me to see this question. The entire center section of top, slides in the direction indicated. It does not lift up, nor does it push down. Stick your thumbnail in the end, and it will slide open. Trying to slide it by pressing your thumb on the knurled surface is fruitless. Ignore all the things on top that look like holes that need to be drilled out or pushed in.

I have the same problem with mine. I thought it might have just been because I was using chilled dough. When I push down it does not catch the metal to push out the dough.

Are you sure that the rotating part has not slipped slightly when you placed the food on the tray? Sometimes we have the problem and find that the tray slipped a hair and then from the weight of the food, it slipped enough to stop completely or rubs on the side of the appliance. Was cooking a chicken in a bag (in half-time) and the bag got so heavy with juice that it hit the side of the appliance and stopped completely. My wife loves the half-time. Does not use the regular oven at all anymore.

It slides up. If you're aggressive it may slide right up and off. But for the money this is a easy and solid replacement. I'd buy it again.
