Does The SLIDING Pizza Peel Work? | Kitchen Gadget Test

This sliding pizza peel contraption is suppose to make transferring your pizza into the oven a bread a breeze. You just slide it right under, right? Hmm...Let's put it to the test! #emmymade #slidingpizzapeel

So, based on the length of your playlist, you've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty, but do you have whosits and whatsits galore?

I have had one of those for about 10 years now. Mine is a “ Super Peel “ although he may no longer be making them. It is a little more refined, made of solid white ash I believe and the end is tapered down to a sharper edge. The transfer material on mine is linen much like a Bakers Couche. It slides very easily in both directions. Since I cook my pizza’s in a Blackstone Pizza oven at around 700 F I use it to pick up the pizza off the counter and lay it on a wooden launching peel dusted with cornmeal. I then use a metal peel once it is under the flame and to retrieve it. I was tired of the odd pizza accordioning when trying to get under it off the counter and this method works every time.

I think using it to clean up spills is more impressive than the pizza peel use, perhaps it could be redesigned to pick up spills than being a pizza peel. And the build quality needs to be better. Fun video as always!

I make my pizzas on parchment paper. Easy to move onto the pan, and back onto the counter, for cutting after baking. No mess, no dishes, and throw the parchment paper away for easy clean up.

Interesting design- I can see how it "should" work, but also why it doesn't really. Eventually, someone might tweak the operations/materials so it's actually a useful product, but meanwhile, I'll just bake my pizza in a standard pizza pan.
Also, I don't need something the size of a cookie sheet, taking up space in my cupboards, just to pick up spilled sriracha or sauce; a facecloth takes up much less space and has far more uses.
Love you, Emmy!

The material that they're using as the actual pizza slider appears to be Teflon. It's got the same colour and texture as the sheets that McDonald's uses on their grill presses for their cooking- it also frays and deforms the same if it gets snagged, so that's what I would assume. Very much heatproof, but yes, also fragile, especially if it gets pinched and caught on things.

The Sriracha trick is crazy 🤯 Seems super impractical, but it's a fun party trick

I've got a plastic pizza cutter that was a free promotional item. I think it has the name of a bank on it. It works really well! I've had it for like 20 years!

I can’t believe she sacrificed her beloved sriracha! What won’t our Emmy do for us!?!

A much larger version of this concept is used to load/unload ovens in industrial bakeries; the one in my pastry school was 6ish feet long and 2.5 wide? The fabric conveyor is closer to a thick canvas baker's couche, and it runs around rollers, just like a factory conveyor belt. You load it up with baguettes or boulles or whatver, floured dough directly onto the fabric, the whole conveyor slides into the oven, and then you 'roll' it back out, with the conveyor simultaneously retracting and scrolling to drop off the loaves as it comes out. I think some of them can also empty ovens, but we snagged out finished loaves individually with a long handled (longer than a broom) metal peel.

If you're curious, the channel @sarmasikmakina has a short demonstration video of a similae setup.

[sueholdener]

That worked a lot better than I thought it would🤷🏼‍♀

[lonecynner]

I saw other videos and thought it was just a trick. But now I have seen you do it, I believe!

[barbararoberts]

I love when you try new things out 😁
Also the retro gadgets

[cbkqmom]

Really cute invention… hope the makers see your video and take some tips!! Cold chicken/tuna salad are my veggie clean the fridge… or soup, if it’s winter.

Emmy! If you don't like your basil going "dark" on your pizza when you cook it, try putting the basil under the cheese. I personally think basil tastes better on pizza if it's cooked. This also works to keep fresh spinach from darkening as much or burning from the high temps you cook pizza at.

[kyleschlichter]

I would probably not consider that food safe. Emmy is spot on about the laser cutting, and the sheet is PRFE-coated fiberglass fabric. The whole assembly is done in a Shenzhen maker space rather than a full factory

Emmy I got a Ke Bob It off eBay after watching your video! Me, and especially my husband LOVE IT! We use it at least once a week. We're so happy ❤❤❤

Another product that solves a non-problem.

I have had a peel like this for over ten years, however mine is a high quality wooden peel with an easily detachable canvas couche as the conveyor belt. It's fantastic! I don't use it for pizza, as it is too big for my little pizza oven, but it works amazingly well for transferring unruly breads like baguettes and epis and fugas. The couche can also be used for proofing baguettes.

[phonotical]

You're right, the material isn't even sealed, it will just absorb moisture and who knows what and just rot
