The Gi.Metal perforated pizza peel is a professional turning peel with a round Ø 23 cm fully perforated head in GHA anodised aluminium and a 150 cm handle. It is used to rotate the pizza during baking and to shed excess flour through the holes, preventing burning and bitter notes. Made in Italy, it is built for high-temperature wood-fired and electric ovens.
What Is a Perforated Pizza Turning Peel?
A turning peel, or palino, is the small round peel used to rotate the pizza inside the oven for even cooking and to lift it out when ready. It is not a launching peel and not a dough spreader: its job is to manage the pizza during baking. The perforations let excess flour fall away so it does not burn on the oven floor.
Gi.Metal and the GHA Line
Gi.Metal is an Italian benchmark in professional pizza tools. This peel belongs to the GHA (Golden Hard Anodizing) line, recognisable by its golden anodised finish, selected by LAPA for its lightness and durability.
Materials and the GHA Advantage
The head is made of GHA hard-anodised aluminium, fully perforated to reduce friction and weight. The anodising is self-lubricating, so the pizza slides and turns with a single gesture, and it resists corrosion, wear and high temperatures for long-lasting hygiene. An intermediate sliding grip in high-density polymer improves control.
Professional Use
- Rotate the pizza during baking for even cooking.
- Shed excess flour through the perforations to avoid burnt, bitter notes.
- Lift and retrieve the pizza from the oven.
- Work safely thanks to the 150 cm handle that keeps hands away from the heat.
Care and Maintenance
Clean the peel dry or with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive pads that scratch the anodising. Store it dry; the GHA finish keeps its self-lubricating performance for years. The handle includes a hanging hole for tidy storage.
