Pizza Screen YATO YG-02033 — 330 mm perforated baking mesh for oven and grill

The Pizza Screen YATO YG-02033 is a 330 mm perforated baking mesh designed to improve heat circulation during baking and grilling. Made from metal, the round screen allows hot air to reach the bottom of the pizza or pastry, promoting more even browning and a crisper crust. It is suitable for use in ovens and on grills and is intended for both professional and home baking environments where consistent results and reduced sogginess are desired.

Advantages

The perforated design increases airflow beneath the pizza, reducing trapped moisture and shortening bake time for a firmer base. Its metal construction withstands high cooking temperatures and provides a stable, flat surface for placing dough, prepared bases or baked goods. The 330 mm diameter fits standard small-to-medium pizzas and gives predictable cooking results when used on baking trays, oven racks or grill grates.

Suitable for

• Baking 33 cm (approx.) pizzas in domestic ovens
• Using on grills to achieve a crisp bottom crust
• Reheating or finishing frozen or precooked pizza bases
• Small commercial or pizzeria operations that use 33 cm pans or racks

When it may not be suitable

The Pizza Screen YATO YG-02033 may not be suitable for very large pizzas or baking sheets that exceed the 330 mm diameter, as the size could leave edges unsupported. It is not a replacement for a perforated baking stone in applications where high thermal mass is required to achieve artisan-style bottom crispness.

Key specifications

• Shape: round
• Diameter: 330 mm
• Material: metal mesh (perforated)
• Intended use: oven and grill baking
• Design feature: perforations for airflow and moisture escape

How to use

Place the Pizza Screen on an oven rack, baking tray or directly on a grill grate. Preheat the oven or grill to the required temperature before placing the dough or prepared pizza onto the screen. Use oven mitts or suitable tools to insert and remove the hot screen. For best results, rotate the screen if needed to ensure even browning and monitor baking time as airflow may reduce cooking duration compared with solid trays.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 330 mm diameter suits your pizza size and existing racks or pans
• Check that the metal construction and perforation pattern match your oven or grill heat source
• Consider whether you require a high thermal mass baking stone instead of a lightweight mesh for artisan-style crusts

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, preheat the oven or grill with the screen in place and use a peel or spatula to transfer pizzas onto the mesh. Clean the screen after use by allowing it to cool, then removing residue with warm water and a non-abrasive brush; avoid corrosive cleaners to preserve the metal surface.
