Gi.Metal Evoluzione Pizza Peel: precision and lightness for professionals
The Gi.Metal Evoluzione peel is a professional perforated pizza peel with a rectangular head measuring 33x33 cm in hard-anodized S.H.A aluminium and a 150 cm handle. The optimized perforation releases flour in two directions while the S.H.A treatment delivers heat resistance up to three times higher than standard anodized aluminium, extreme smoothness and a very low friction coefficient. It is the everyday tool for launching, turning and retrieving in deep wood-fired, gas and electric ovens.
What S.H.A (Special Hard Anodizing) technology means
S.H.A stands for Special Hard Anodizing, a hard-oxide treatment that protects the aluminium against corrosion, wear and scratches. Compared with standard anodizing, the S.H.A surface is harder and far more heat resistant, so the head keeps its smoothness over years of intense use. Less friction means the dough slides off cleanly and the pizza is launched without sticking, even with high-hydration doughs.
Perforated head: why it matters
The 33x33 cm perforated rectangular head is designed to shed excess flour through its holes before the pizza enters the oven. This avoids burnt flour on the oven floor and on the pizza base, keeping flavour clean and the oven tidy. The rectangular shape suits Neapolitan rounds, pan pizza and pizza alla pala equally well.
The 150 cm handle
The 150 cm aluminium handle reaches the back of the deepest ovens while keeping the pizzaiolo at a safe distance from the flames. The balance between the lightweight S.H.A head and the long handle reduces wrist fatigue during a busy service, when hundreds of pizzas are launched and turned in a single evening.
Professional uses
Use the Evoluzione peel to launch the dough onto the oven floor, rotate the pizza for even baking, lift and check the base during cooking, retrieve the finished pizza, and move pizzas alla pala and focaccia. It is equally suited to traditional wood-fired ovens, gas deck ovens and high-temperature electric ovens used for Neapolitan pizza.
