Great value; follow the instructions for care and you'll be happy.,
This review is from: Sassafras Pizza Peel (Kitchen)
When you purchase this item, make sure you either own or also purchase food-grade mineral oil, designed for conditioning butcher block and other wood kitchen implements. (I learned this by buying the wrong thing first: If the bottle says it's toxic or flammable, this is not the product you want! You can food-grade mineral oil online or possibly at your local grocery store.)
The peel will need to be treated with the oil before use. Don't substitute olive or other edible oils, as they will go rancid. Let the peel absorb all the oil it can (I did a few coats, rubbing it in with a paper towel). Then voila, you have a well-conditioned tool that won't dry out and crack. For the best care, as another reviewer mentioned, you'll want to apply mineral oil after you clean it each time. This thing is big! My better half came up with a clever way of storing it inside one of our cupboard doors, as it's quite flat; I had thought to store it with the baking sheets, but its handle makes it a bit ungainly. For the price, it's a great tool, and a little care will go a long way!

Pizza/Bread Peel,
This review is from: Sassafras Pizza Peel (Kitchen)
There are other baker's peels out there that have an aluminum base and sell for around $20. I happened to see this one on sale in a department store so I went ahead and got it. I make pizza and focaccia on ocassion so it works fine for me. I sprinkle on a little cornmeal before putting on the crust and it slides right off. I was a little skeptical about retrieving the pizza off the stone smoothly since the edges on this peel are much thicker than the aluminum peel, but it actually worked really well. I was able to slip it under the pizza and slide it onto the peel in one smooth attempt. I don't know how well it would work with a really thin crust.
Someone who is really into making pizza and bread may like the aluminum type better since it has a thinner base, longer handle and a little more weight to it.

Seasoning instructions,
By hiddenphysicist (College Park, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sassafras Pizza Peel (Kitchen)
This is in response to the review below which states that the recommended wood peel seasoning with mineral oil is an inconvenience as mineral oil is difficult to find and without other uses. An initial seasoning for an item like this is good idea for long-term use to ensure that pizza/bread will continue to slide off easily. You can find mineral oil at the grocery store in the pharmacy section. It's ... an intestinal lubricant, which should give you some idea for other uses ;-)
