Pizza accessory Gi.Metal AC-TPF20

A flexible blade bends to the shape of the dough, letting the operator slice through risen or sticky batches without compressing the air pockets that give bread its texture. The same flexibility allows the edge to follow the contours of a worktop, lifting flour and dough scraps in one motion rather than pushing them into corners.

To use the cutter, hold the blade at a shallow angle to the dough and draw it forward in a single, smooth stroke. The stainless steel edge parts the dough cleanly, leaving a straight cut that seals quickly. For cleaning, angle the blade more steeply and run it along the worktop, using the flexibility to reach into grooves and around taps or mixer feet. The blade is light enough to manoeuvre with one hand, freeing the other to steady the dough or hold a bowl.

The tool is a single piece of stainless steel, 20 cm long and 11.5 cm tall at its highest point. The metal is thin enough to flex but thick enough to resist permanent bending under normal pressure. There are no moving parts, no joints and no coating that could wear or chip.

The 20 cm length gives a cut long enough for most loaves and rolls, while the 11.5 cm height provides a comfortable grip without adding bulk. The 0.161 kg weight keeps the tool balanced in the hand, reducing fatigue during repeated cuts or extended cleaning sessions.

After use, wash the blade in warm water with detergent, rinse and dry immediately to prevent water spots. The stainless steel surface resists rust but benefits from prompt drying, especially if the water is hard. Store the cutter flat or hang it by the hole in the blade to avoid bending the metal over time.

The Gi.Metal flexible dough cutter is listed in the bakery tools section of the professional catering catalogue.
