Peel (dough ball) Alfa Forni ACSPA-12N — 12-inch aluminum pizza peel

Alfa Forni ACSPA-12N is a 12-inch aluminum dough ball peel designed to transfer, shape and handle pizza dough and small pizzas with minimal friction. The flat, smooth aluminum blade helps prevent sticking and allows precise placement on work surfaces and in compact ovens or countertop baking units. Its lightweight construction reduces wrist fatigue during repeated use and the peel is suitable for domestic kitchens and small professional environments where a nimble tool for dough handling is required.

Advantages

The aluminum blade offers low weight and good thermal performance, enabling quick movement of dough and pizzas without heat buildup. Corrosion-resistant material ensures durability in humid kitchen conditions and easy cleaning. The 12-inch size provides a balance between maneuverability and support for individual pizzas or dough balls, improving handling precision compared with larger, heavier peels.

Suitable for

• Transferring dough balls and small pizzas to and from countertop ovens
• Shaping and turning dough during preparation
• Home baking and small-scale professional pizzerias
• Working at crowded or compact workstations where a nimble peel is needed

Key specifications

• Blade material: aluminum for lightweight handling and corrosion resistance
• Blade diameter: 12 inches (suitable for individual pizzas and dough balls)
• Blade profile: flat and smooth to reduce sticking
• Intended use: manual transfer and shaping of dough and small pizzas

How to use

Lightly dust the aluminum peel with flour or semolina before placing the dough to reduce sticking. Use the peel to slide under a shaped dough ball or small pizza, supporting the base while transferring to the oven. For loading, hold the peel steady close to the oven entrance and gently shake or slide forward to release the dough onto the cooking surface. After use, wipe clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the aluminum surface.

Usage recommendations

Use the 12-inch peel for single-serving pizzas and dough portions; dusting the blade prior to use and maintaining a consistent dough temperature improves slide performance. Store the peel in a dry place to preserve corrosion resistance and avoid prolonged exposure to acidic cleaning agents.
