Large perforated round shovel diam. 33 cm

Professional performance: the Ø33 cm perforated pizza peel that revolutionises your pizza

Turn every batch into a professional culinary show. The Pala Tonda Grande Forata Ø33 cm was created for those who want to achieve pizzeria-like results in the comfort of their own home or business, taking advantage of Alfonso Forni's direct fired oven technology (wood and gas).

• Reduces burnt flour: the holes allow excess flour to fall out, avoiding smoke and bitter flavours.
• Quick and precise dough release: the smaller contact surface decreases friction and ensures a smooth dough release.
• Low weight, maximum control: the perforated structure lightens the blade, limiting fatigue in prolonged sessions.
• Superior hygiene and durability: AISI304 stainless steel suitable for food contact, anti-corrosion and easy to clean.
• Thermal ergonomics: natural wood handle insulates from heat and ensures non-slip grip.
• Universal compatibility: it fits perfectly with traditional wood-fired ovens, wood/gas hybrids and Alfonso Forni's outdoor or balcony models, improving their cooking performance.

• Total weight: 650g, guaranteed lightness and manoeuvrability.

Quality and Materials

AISI304 steel is the standard in the food industry with chrome and nickel forming a passivating anti-corrosion layer, guaranteeing hygiene, easy cleaning and long life. The natural wooden handle remains cool to the touch, preventing burns and ensuring a natural grip even with wet hands.

Synergy with Alfonso Forni

Alfonso Forni's wood-fired and hybrid models reach temperatures of over 450 °C. The perforated blade ensures:

• Less ash and residue: falling flour does not burn on the refractory floor.
• Uniform baking: less moisture under the dough avoids soft bases and favours crispy crust.
• Simplified cleaning: less residue means less post-baking scraping.

Maintenance and Usage Tips (FAQ)

How to clean the shovel after use?

Let cool, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately to avoid limescale stains. 304 steel resists corrosion but likes to be dry.

Can I use aggressive detergents?

Best avoided: a solution of warm water and mild soap is sufficient. The holes can be brushed with soft bristles to remove residues.

How much flour should I use on the counter?

Very little: the perforation helps the flow, minimising the amount of flour needed and preventing bitter flavours.

Does the shovel also work for bread and focaccia?

Yes, the generous diameter and thin steel make it ideal for focaccia, calzones and artisan breads, facilitating the insertion of more hydrated dough.

Is it certified for food use?

The AISI304 plate meets EC regulations for food contact, BPA and phthalate free
