Pizza screen mesh YATO 450 mm for baking and cooling

Perforated pizza screen YATO 450 mm is a lightweight metal mesh designed to improve heat circulation during baking and to speed up cooling after cooking. With a 450 mm diameter, the screen supports even airflow to the base of the dough, helping to obtain a more uniform and crisp crust. The open-mesh construction reduces baking time by allowing hot air to reach the underside of the pizza while offering a stable surface for transfer between oven and workspace.

Advantages

The YATO pizza screen provides consistent heat distribution across the pizza base and enhances crust crispiness without adding significant weight. Its perforated design promotes faster baking and more efficient cooling, which is useful in busy kitchens. The metal mesh is easy to handle, stack, and store, and its durable build is suitable for repeated use in both professional and domestic environments.

Suitable for

• Baking pizzas in convection or deck ovens
• Cooling freshly baked pizzas on a countertop
• Pre-baking bases to achieve a crisper crust
• Use in pizzerias, restaurants, catering and home kitchens

Key specifications

• Diameter: 450 mm
• Construction: perforated metal mesh
• Function: promotes airflow for even baking and cooling
• Weight: lightweight for easy handling
• Usage: suitable for oven use and countertop cooling

How to use

Place the pizza directly on the perforated surface before transferring into a preheated oven to allow airflow beneath the dough. For best results, preheat the oven according to your recipe and slide the screen onto the oven rack or stone. After baking, transfer the pizza to a cooling area using heat-resistant gloves or a peel if needed. The screen can also be used to pre-bake crusts briefly to improve firmness before adding toppings.

Usage recommendations

To maintain performance, clean the screen according to kitchen sanitation practices: remove food residues promptly and wash with warm water and detergent. Avoid harsh abrasives that could damage the mesh. Allow the screen to dry completely before storage and stack with similar items to minimize deformation.
