I got this peel a few months ago and have used it a number of times. I was initially attracted to it because of the FSC certification and the size but really like how thin it is. When the pizza is done it slides under without shaking off any of the toppings. I will be getting one of the cutting boards soon.You could probably find something cheaper but this pizza peel is very nice and does the job perfectly. I use it for loaves of home-made bread, sprinkling it with cornmeal so the dough slides right off leaving almost no sticky residue. It only needs a wipe with a damp paper towel for cleaning.I've used the peel a couple of times since I got it and it works really well. Seems sturdy and like it will hold up to use.I would definitely not buy this again! It's a nice enough peel but I did not think this one through properly at all. 10" is too small unless you are making little mini pizzas or flat breads. Overall quality of the peel is good; it is very sturdy & feels like it will last a very long time.I purchase this peel along with a pizza stone and found both a bit on the pricey side but wanted to give the whole thing a try. Have only made pizze once since receiving them and spread out the pizza dough on the peel and then added the toppings. When I went to slide it off on to the pizza stone (that was preheating in the oven), it was sticking to the peel and spilled sauce and toppings onto the stone. I did use flour on the peel before stretching out the dough. I think next time I will try making the pizza directly on the stone without preheating it and hope it doesn't crack. The directions that came with the stone recommend leaving it in the oven and preheating, but a few reviewers did not preheat and made the pizza directly on the stone, using the peel just to take it out of the over. The 14x23 size is a bit large for what I normally need, but will be fine. Any suggestions, please feel free to comment.
