How do I use my Ooni Pizza Turning Peel?

To use your Ooni Pizza Turning Peel, follow the steps below:

Step 1.  Launch your pizza using your launching peel

• Your turning peel cannot be used to launch your pizza, you’ll need to use a different peel.

Step 2. Stop the peel sticking to the dough. Hold your turning peel underneath the flames for 1-2 seconds to warm it up. This is beneficial in colder weather to prevent sudden condensation build-up when something cold goes into a hot environment.

Important Note: Do not expose the peel to the flames for extended periods of time or it may damage it.

Step 3. After ~20 seconds, carefully slide your turning peel underneath your pizza to loosen it from the baking stone.

Step 4. Carefully pull your turning peel back while rotating your pizza in a circular motion.

Step 5. Keep an eye on your pizza and turn as necessary.

Pro Tip: Ideally, when turning a pizza, you try to keep it on the same spot on the stone. Moving it over to a different spot could result in a higher risk of burning the base, as it’s being moved to a hotter part of the stone.

Step 6. Once your pizza is fully cooked, use your turning peel to remove it. 

Tip: When turning your pizza, try to keep it as flat as you can so that it’s in contact with the baking stone for as long as possible.
