A wooden pizza peel adds charm and functionality to homemade pizza making, particularly advantageous for sliding pizzas into ovens. Despite debates over wood vs. metal peels, wooden ones reduce stickiness and are ideal for pizza stones. However, proper cleaning is crucial: soaking is detrimental, as wood absorbs moisture leading to warping and bacteria growth. Instead, it's recommended to wash with gentle soap and use sponges for stuck-on bits, while avoiding harsh detergents or dishwashers for longevity and health.
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure your pizza peel's longevity. So, when cleaning your wooden pizza peel, be sure to avoid soaking it at all costs.
Wood is a porous material filled with microscopic holes that absorb moisture. When exposed to prolonged water, it can warp and grow bacteria.
