How do I use my Ooni Pizza Turning Peel?Updated 7 months ago

To use your [Ooni Pizza Turning Peel](https://ooni.com/products/ooni-pizza-

turning-peel?_pos=1&_sid=bb5fbcdcc&_ss=r), follow the steps below:

**Step 1. **Launch your pizza using your launching peel

* Your turning peel **cannot** be used to launch your pizza, you'll need to use a different peel.

**Step 2. **Stop the peel sticking to the dough.** ** Hold your turning peel

underneath the flames for 1-2 seconds to warm it up. This is beneficial in

colder weather to prevent sudden condensation build-up when something cold

goes into a hot environment.

**Important Note:** Do not expose the peel to the flames for extended periods

of time or it may damage it.


**Step 3. **After ~20 seconds, carefully slide your turning peel underneath

your pizza to loosen it from the baking stone.


**Step 4. **Carefully pull your turning peel back while rotating your pizza

in a circular motion.


**Step 5. **Keep an eye on your pizza and turn as necessary.

**Pro Tip:** Ideally, when turning a pizza, you try to keep it on the same

spot on the stone. Moving it over to a different spot could result in a higher

risk of burning the base, as it's being moved to a hotter part of the stone.


**Step 6. **Once your pizza is fully cooked, use your turning peel to remove

it.


**Tip: **When turning your pizza, try to keep it as flat as you can so that

it's in contact with the baking stone for as long as possible.
