Customer Review: This thing will save your hands (and arms)!
Summary: 5 Stars

Bought this peel and a baking stone together - had found a recipe for 'artisan' bread - the nice dense, crusty kind - but the cookbook author was extremely specific about having to have both the stone and the peel.

I almost bought the stone and not the peel - surely I could manage to get dough into my oven and bread back out without ruining anything? But...had a bad feeling that there was a reason author was so specific, and went ahead and bought it anyway.

After reading other reviews, was really a bit concerned about what some of the people who ranked the product so poorly had said. But figured Amazon is good about returns when product is defective, and went ahead and ordered this particular peel anyway.

Examined it closely out of the box. Very nice, smoothly sanded surface. 'Knife-edge' sharp enough to get under baked item, but not sharp enough to cut (or splinter).

Once I'd baked the baking stone for an hour, as directed, got out the dough I'd prepared, and prepared the peel as indicated in the recipe - smoothing cornmeal on it. Put my ball of dough on the peel, put peel onto hot baking stone, 'flicked' the stone as I'd read, and dough slide directly onto stone, and peel came out of the oven nice and clean.

Have only used it once now - both to put bread dough into oven, and remove hot bread from oven. But it worked like a charm. Had I used my oven mits to put dough in and remove bread from a 450* oven, I'm quite certain I would have burned myself on some part of oven - wouldn't be the first "brand" I'd gotten while hauling things in and out.

The peel I received appeared to be a nicely-manufactured wooden peel that is free of defects. I have no qualms about using it again and again for bread making. Will probably not use it for pizza making - counter-intuitive, I know. But I don't want to stain it's pretty surface with tomato sauce. May use it just to slide pizza from stone onto a pizza pan for oven removal though.

Overall, this seems like a quality product, and I would certainly buy it again.
