The original Ariete 2-wooden-peel kit ref. AS00001541 is the essential accessory for your Da Gennaro pizza oven. These professional natural wood peels are specifically designed to insert and remove pizzas from the oven with ease, safety, and precision, just as master pizzaiolos do in traditional Neapolitan pizzerias. Made from food-grade wood with an ergonomic handle and smooth natural non-stick surface, they guarantee professional results and exceptional durability.

What problem do these wooden pizza peels solve?

If your original peels have broken, burned, or been lost, if you try to use unsuitable utensils that break the pizza or burn your hands, if you need additional peels to prepare several pizzas simultaneously, or if you want the authentic experience of handling pizzas like a professional, this original Ariete kit is your solution. Unlike generic metal peels that overheat, plastic peels that deform with heat, or low-quality wooden peels that splinter, these official peels guarantee safe handling, a natural non-stick surface, and professional durability identical to the originals.

• Ariete Da Gennaro: all Da Gennaro pizza oven models
• Universal use: compatible with any domestic or professional pizza oven

Note: Although these peels are specially designed to complement the Ariete Da Gennaro oven, they are universal and work perfectly with any type of domestic pizza oven, wood-fired oven, electric oven, or pizza stone. The dimensions are optimized for standard-sized pizzas (25-30cm diameter).

• Inserting pizzas into the oven: slide the pizza from the peel into the hot oven without deforming it
• Removing cooked pizzas: take pizzas out of the oven without burning your hands or breaking the dough
• Turning pizzas during baking: rotate the pizza for even cooking in ovens with uneven heat
• Preparing pizzas: use the peel as a work surface to stretch and assemble the pizza
• Serving pizzas: present the pizza directly on the wooden peel for rustic service
• Baking breads and focaccias: insert and remove flatbreads, focaccias, and similar doughs
• Cooking in a wood-fired oven: handle food in traditional high-temperature ovens

✓ Natural non-stick wood: The smooth wooden surface allows the pizza to slide easily without sticking, unlike metal which can adhere to wet dough. The wood slightly absorbs moisture from the base, creating a perfect surface for handling. Does not require excessive oils or flours to prevent sticking.

✓ Natural thermal insulation: Wood does not conduct heat like metal, allowing you to hold the handle comfortably even when the paddle has been in contact with the hot oven. Protects your hands from burns without the need for thick gloves that hinder precise handling.

✓ Professional ergonomic handle: Elongated design providing enough reach to insert pizzas into deep ovens without getting too close to the heat. Comfortable grip allowing precise movements and full control. Perfect balance between paddle and handle for effortless handling.

✓ Durability and resistance: Selected quality wood that withstands high temperatures without burning, cracking, or warping. With proper care, these paddles last years of intensive use. Surface improves with use, developing a natural non-stick patina.

Ariete is an Italian manufacturer specializing in kitchen appliances and accessories with decades of experience in pizza products. The Da Gennaro oven is inspired by Neapolitan pizzeria traditions, and these wooden paddles perfectly complement that artisanal philosophy.

The original Ariete paddles are made from certified food-grade wood, optimized dimensions for the Da Gennaro oven size, appropriate thickness combining strength with lightness, and a professional finish that ensures perfect pizza sliding.

Unlike generic paddles that may have splinters, rough surfaces that trap dough, improper dimensions, or woods unsuitable for food contact, Ariete paddles guarantee food safety, professional handling, and an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria experience at home.

Preparation before first use:

1. Wash the paddles with warm water and mild soap
2. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a clean cloth
3. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil over the entire wood surface
4. Let rest 2-3 hours for the wood to absorb the oil
5. Remove excess oil with absorbent paper
6. Repeat this process 2-3 times before first use to seal the wood

Correct technique for placing pizza in the oven:

1. Lightly dust the paddle with flour or wheat semolina to prevent sticking
2. Place the stretched dough on the paddle and quickly add the toppings
3. Gently shake the paddle to check that the pizza slides freely
4. Open the oven and bring the paddle inside
5. With a quick and decisive movement, slide the pizza from the paddle onto the oven stone
6. Remove the paddle immediately

Technique for removing pizza from the oven:

1. Slide the paddle under the cooked pizza with a firm movement
2. Lift slightly to ensure the pizza is completely on the paddle
3. Remove from the oven with a smooth but quick movement
4. Slide the pizza onto a cutting board or serving plate

Cleaning after each use:

1. Allow the paddle to cool completely before cleaning
2. Remove flour or ingredient residues with a soft brush or wooden scraper
3. Clean with a damp cloth (do not excessively wet the wood)
4. If residues stick, use warm water and minimal neutral soap
5. Rinse quickly and dry immediately with an absorbent cloth
6. Allow to air dry completely in a vertical position before storing

IMPORTANT - Wood care:

• NEVER wash in dishwasher: prolonged heat and moisture crack and warp the wood
• NEVER soak in water: wood absorbs moisture and swells, cracks, or warps
• NEVER use harsh chemicals: they can damage the wood and contaminate food
• DO NOT let food residues dry on the wood: clean immediately after use

Periodic maintenance:

• Apply vegetable oil (olive, sunflower) every 2-3 months to keep the wood nourished
• If the surface becomes rough, gently sand with fine sandpaper (220 grit) and apply oil
• Regularly inspect for splinters or cracks
• Store in a dry, ventilated place, never in humid environments
• Store horizontally or hanging, avoiding supports that deform the paddle

Are these paddles dishwasher safe?
No, absolutely not. Wooden paddles should never be washed in a dishwasher. Intense heat and prolonged moisture crack, warp, and ruin the wood. Always clean by hand with a damp cloth and dry immediately.

What size pizza can I handle with these peels?
The peels are designed for standard-sized pizzas of 25-30cm diameter, which is the typical size of the Da Gennaro oven. For larger pizzas, you would need larger peels.

Does the pizza stick to the wooden peel?
If you prepare the peel properly (sprinkling flour or semolina) and work quickly when assembling the pizza, it should not stick. Natural wood is less adhesive than metal. If it sticks, it is because the dough is very wet or you took too long to place it in the oven.

Can I use these peels for foods other than pizza?
Yes, absolutely. They are ideal for flatbreads, focaccias, empanadas, calzones, pita bread, naan, and any flat dough baked at high temperature. They also serve to present food in a rustic way.

Do the peels burn or blacken with use?
With normal use, they may develop slight marks or browning on the edges, which is normal and does not affect their functionality. Avoid leaving the peel inside the hot oven or in prolonged contact with very hot surfaces.

Why do I need two peels?
Having two peels is very practical: one to insert pizzas and another to remove them, or to prepare the next pizza while the first one cooks. Professional pizzerias always have multiple peels for continuous workflow.

How do I prevent the wood from cracking?
Keep the wood nourished with vegetable oil periodically, never soak it in water, dry it completely after cleaning, and store it in a dry place. Cracks usually appear due to excess moisture or extreme dryness.

Can I use the peel as a cutting board?
Not recommended. Although the wood is durable, cutting directly on the peel can scratch it and create grooves where bacteria accumulate. Use a separate cutting board to slice the pizza.
