At 14\" wide and 24\" long, these peels offer a generous surface area for building and launching full-size pizzas into a wood-fired or outdoor oven. Basswood does not secrete oils that can transfer to dough or affect flavor, making it a cleaner choice than many other wood species for a pizza peel. Two peels per pack means you always have one ready, even when the other is in use or drying after washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003csection class=\"product-section why-choose\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eWhy Customers Choose This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cul class=\"icon-list why-list\"\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eNew Zealand hardwood basswood — dense, lightweight, crack-resistant, and oil-free, so it will not affect the flavor of your dough\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e14\" wide head — ample surface area for full-size pizzas, flatbreads, and artisan loaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e24\" overall length — keeps hands safely away from high-heat wood-fired oven openings\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e2-pack — two peels included, so you have a backup, can serve two people simultaneously, or keep one dedicated to prep and one to serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eEven grain texture — resists cracking and warping better than less dense wood species\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eHangable design — hang hole for space-saving storage near the oven\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n  \u003csection class=\"product-section highlights\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eNew Zealand Hardwood Basswood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eBasswood is a dense, fine-grained hardwood that is lightweight relative to its density and resistant to cracking.
