Can you use an aluminum pizza peel with the baking steel without harming the baking steel?

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.

The actual aluminum pan can be used at any temperature that you can use for any baking sheet. The lid is NOT for oven use! You need to let your baked item cool off before placing the lid on for storage or refrigeration. This pan is a great size for so many things. I bought it for making fudge and brownies. Now I use it for everything, and I plan to buy another set.

I would not buy it unless you remove it when you use the oven. After using the oven twice it warped and will not last flat. Better off with a t-shaped over of aluminum

If you lube the pan beforehand that should help; also cut a small piece of parchment for the bottom. Then when you push up on the pie, you can slide the bottom off and peel off the parchment. This could probably be reused. And in case you changed your mind, and wanted to bake in the pan, it wouldn't have to be removed first. I routinely do the paper on the bottom for springform pans & it works great. Hope this helps!

I use my pan for pizza and slide the complete pizza off the pan before cutting the pizza. I am afraid of damaging the pan, which may or may not be true if I would cut on the pan.

No it is aluminum with non-stick coating. It is a great pan though. We use it for baking cookies and biscuits and just about everything...including pizza.

Under most reasonable use the cloth will stand up very well. Home ovens at any temperature are fine. We have zillions of customers using it on Big Green Egg, Blacksone, Wood Fired Ovens, gas grills, etc. with no problems. The key here is that you are in and out so fast!! Don't linger, or set the peel un your oven and walk away :-o The only potential problem is extended close proximity to fire or hot coals. It is the radiant heat that can more likely damage the cloth. I use one of our long handled Super Peels to place pizzas way back in our Wood Fired Pizza Oven. It is not that deep, so I set the pizza right up against the coals. Have not had any problems at all.Gary@EXO/Super Peel Under most reasonable use the cloth will stand up very well. Home ovens at any temperature are fine.

Yes, it's all steel. I'm sure it can go in the oven at normal baking temperatures.

No, it'll be more prone to breaking. To properly use a pizza stone you need to put it in the oven then start preheating it so it doesn't break. i usually make the pizza on parchment paper and put that on the stone. comes out with a great crust and hardly any clean up.

Being that it's Teflon I haven't taken the chance. I slide the pizza on to a cutting board before slicing. Hope this helps.

Yes, the pizza stone heats up and evenly cooks the crust. Just dont get the wooden paddle wet. Ours curled into a scoop! You can use it for cookies in a regular oven too.

No, the moisture will cause it to crack at some point. A baking steel would be better for that.

I'm not sure if this is aluminum. It is definitely non-stick. It's NOT steel. You may want to Google it. Sorry I couldn't directly answer your question. But, I like the pan. It's perfect for my brownies.

You can, but not a good idea. Buy an inexpensive round metal pizza pan and cut it on that.

Yes you can, you don't have to use the rack just the stone and make sure you heat the stone in the oven before placing the pizza on it

I used the Paderno red silicone sleeve. However, it melted in the oven at 350F - a mess to clean up after it dripped onto the bottom and burned.I took all the sleeves off on all other carbon steel pans and trashed them as these pans go from the stove top to the oven or broiler all the time, the sleeve is a pain to take off.

oK as bad as it sounds never use soap on your baking pans.I was trained by some great bakers and you wipe them down as much as you can while hot.A good baker has brown pans :) .If you can not live with brown pan's use parchment paper.I have broken down and used a sos pads and (scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner) Good stuff .Do not use bleach / bleach water on metal it causes rust.Never soak or submerge under water (air bake pans ) ever ,water gets inside and moisture will ruin the outcome of everything you bake..Best of luck Baking blessings :)
