{"product_id":"tulip-pizza-peel-square","title":"Cerutti Tulip Perforated Pizza Peel (Square) | Anodised Aluminium","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cerutti Inox Tulip is a professional-grade perforated square pizza peel, designed in Italy by architect Itamar Harari, made from anodised aluminium with a distinctive red handle, and available in multiple blade sizes and handle lengths to suit home pizza ovens, wood-fired ovens, and professional use alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tulip square is the flat-bladed counterpart to the Tulip round peel, sharing the same Italian manufacturing, anodised aluminium construction, and riveted handle design. The square blade offers greater surface area and stability than a round peel, making it the preferred choice for handling larger pizzas, rectangular doughs, and higher hydration bases. It provides more support during launching, particularly when working with wider pizzas or when control and precision are more important than speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer a round peel for Neapolitan-style pizza and faster, lighter launches?

The square Tulip has a flat-edged blade better suited to Roman-style pizza, pizza al taglio, focaccia, and larger or rectangular bases. Both share the same anodised aluminium construction, red handle, and rivet join.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat is the total length of the peel?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal length is the blade size plus the handle length combined. As a rough guide, a 33cm blade with a 30cm handle gives a total of around 63cm; with a 60cm handle it is around 93cm; and with a 120cm handle around 153cm. Larger blades and longer handles add to these figures accordingly. Check the variant listing for the specific combination you are considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhich blade size and handle should I choose for an Ooni or Gozney home pizza oven?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Ooni Koda 12, Gozney Roccbox, and similar compact ovens, the \u003cstrong\u003e33cm blade with short handle\u003c\/strong\u003e is the right choice. The shorter handle is designed specifically for ovens with shallow chambers and tight openings. If you have a larger Ooni or Gozney model, a medium handle may suit better. Not sure? \u003ca style=\"color: rgb(0, 146, 70);\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Contact Pasta Kitchen\" href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e before ordering and we will advise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eIs this the same peel used in professional pizzerias?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Cerutti Inox is a professional manufacturer whose tools are used in pizzerias and pizza trucks across Europe. The Tulip is the same product available to the trade, there is no separate consumer or home version. The only difference when buying through Pasta Kitchen is that you can choose shorter handle lengths suited to home oven depths, rather than the longer handles typically used in deep commercial ovens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDoes it need any special maintenance?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo special maintenance is required. Wipe clean after use, a damp cloth is fine for the blade. The anodised aluminium surface does not need oiling or seasoning. Avoid leaving it submerged in water and do not use abrasive scourers, as these can mark the anodised finish over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCan I use this peel to retrieve the pizza as well as launch it?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can, though it is not ideal. The larger blade of a launching peel makes it harder to slide cleanly under a pizza already sitting on a hot oven floor.
