How thick is the peel for purposes of getting it under the pizza

It's pretty thin down at the tapered end. Hard to measure, but it's less than 1/8 of an inch. The back end is more like 1/2 an inch. We use this peel a ton getting pizzas off the grill and it works great.

The front rounded portion has a graduated edge so it makes getting the peel under the cooked pizza very easy and make transfer of the uncooked pizza painless.

The peel is about a half inch thick at most with a tapered edge for sliding under a pizza. Other than a crack in the wood, the peel works well.

it's a perfect peel! it's tapered at the end; you need to use corn meal to act as "ball bearings" to slide your pizza off...I love this peel....perfect size It's thin but thickness doesn't matter because it's tapered on the end

It depends on how thin you want the pepperoni. .. we've only gotten 1/8" at the thinnest without the machine guming up. However pepperoni may not have that problem... since its harder and drier than other lunch meats.

I like the new composite Super Peel because it is so thin. I use it with the cloth to load pizza and bread onto the stone and then slip the cloth off and use it like a normal peel to remove the goods after baking. The wood peels are much thicker and, I think, more difficult to use as a simple peel.

about 1 inch thick. it's sturdy enough to use for cutting but it will scratch

This does not go in the oven. It is just a vehicle for delivering the pizza to the pizza stone or in our case a pizza steel. We are using it to put pizza into a 500 degree oven and it has no problem. It should be able to go to 800 which is the approximate temp that many pizza ovens achieve. This seems to be a commercial grade peel. It looks no different than the ones I see in pizza parlors.

It's not very thick. The thickness is very similar to bubble wrap. We had to double layer it for our use around the house.

Close to 3/10ths of an inch.. So, about the thickness of a single pop-tart. (give or take a little bit)

The stone needs to be 450 degrees or hotter. The pizza is the slid onto the stone. Flour or corn meal is used to slide the pizza off of a peal.

The stone measures 7/8 of an inch thick or 0.875". Not quite a full inch but is a very sturdy pizza stone that fits a conventional oven rack perfectly.

I don't know the exact thickness, but it seems to be about 2 times thicker than regular Saran Wrap. I used it to wrap baked goods to give as holiday gifts. It worked really good for that purpose.

Each section is about 3/4" thick. You can skip sections to create thicker slices. The sections are alternately colored so it is easy to ensure that you are lined up correctly.

I use it with a Blackstone Pizza Oven running a stone temperature of 800 F and it works fine. I take care not to allow the cloth to touch the stone but it has briefly, and it didn't seem to negatively affect the "conveyor". Making Neapolitan pizzas, where the dough is pretty wet, I can't imagine any other peel being able to launch as quickly and as smoothly as the Super Peel.

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.

The wooden peel takes a beating if you slice your pizza on it (as you realized). We like to slide the hot baked pizza off the peel directly onto a piece of parchment paper on the countertop, and then slice it right there. The peel stays nice that way. You can find a roll of parchment paper at your grocery store near the foil.

When you say it has a very small opening, do you mean width or height? Obviously the opening width would be the main restriction. This peel is 14" wide and will work in an oven that size or larger. If you mean the height of the opening, you should be fine with any reasonable height. In fact it is easier to slide your pizza off of this peel without tipping it. So, it should be easier if height of the opening is the concern. Gary@EXO/Super Peel

I don't think it would be a problem at all even if your peel has an uneven super sharp edge. The stones are porous, but even if you scratched the surface they would still perform the same. I don't see that a metal peel would hang up on the stones. You can always ask Joe, the vendor. He's a nice guy and will answer any questions. Happy pizza making!!! YUM!
