Superpeel (transferring pizza to the peel)

[thebadger]

Gang,

Not one to recommend something but I found a product that makes transferring pizzas to the metal peel a piece of cake.

Problem (especially if you don't have a good working surface outside).
When making pizzas I found they stick to the wood peel or surface I'm working on. It's almost impossible to get them unstuck without using a ton of flour...

Solution - The Superpeel
It's basically a wood pizza peel with a piece of cheesecloth that wraps around it enabling you to "push" pizza and other items off/on like a little conveyor belt.

How I use it
I shape my dough
Transfer my dough to the superpeel
Build my pizza (no rushing is needed) on the superpeel
Sprinkle a little flour on my FB metal peel
Transfer the pizza to the FB peel from the Superpeel and slide it in the oven.

Downside
You can't use it to put pizza directly in the oven due to needing 2 hands to operate it

I actually ordered another one so I can build/load in two pizzas back to back. I may not have use for them once I get my granite countertop but this works great until then.

If interested you can search "Superpeel" on Yahoo. (I found a better deal on Ebay.)

Maybe James can work out a deal to carry these on the FB site?

Thanks

I was thinking about making my own "superpeel"

This would be a peel with a few holes drilled in the surface all connected via hose to a small compressed air cylinder.

As one places the peel in the oven you can pull the trigger and compressed air will blow up under the peel, releasing the pie from the peel and smoothly transferring the pizza to the oven floor. If we angled the holes it would actually blow it off the peel.... hmmmm

I suppose the handle of the peel could be a bicycle pump....

Crazy idea - I better lay off the wine for a while...

I'm gonna make one when I get home.

I'll use my air compressor as the air source.

It should make fun video!!!

That has got to be one of the craziest ideas I've ever heard. Build one and show us some video!

EDIT: Posted at the same time as your last post. Now you have to show us.

I would love to see the video on this. I can just imagine using too much air and suddently the pizza is shot up to the top of your oven..kinda reminds me of all the gum and things stuck to the ceiling in some of the classrooms in high school.

Maybe this should be s separate thread, But where does everyone store all the "needed" implements? I've just started and already I have three peels, a brush and a rake. (And in the offing a long curved metal piece maybe 2 " high to move coals and ashes sideways...saw in in a youtude video in some 3rd world country and it looked like a great idea).

But enough, where do all of you store these necessary bits? I was thinking some sort of rack like a circular pool cue rack, but what about the grills, racks, tongs, etc.? Ideas anyone? Or what you are doing with all the stuff...

Thanks, Wiley
