Pizza accessory Stalgast 503210

A pizza spatula transfers hot pizzas from the worktop to the oven stone and back without tearing the base or losing toppings. The flat, wide blade slides under the pizza, lifting it cleanly while the long handle keeps the operator's hand clear of the heat. This method relies on a rigid, thin blade that minimises contact with the pizza, reducing drag and preventing the toppings from shifting during transfer.

To use the spatula, slide the blade beneath the pizza at a shallow angle, lift slightly to check the base is free, then lift and transfer in one smooth motion. The handle length allows the operator to reach deep into deck ovens or wood-fired hearths without bending or stretching. Once the pizza is on the spatula, it can be rotated or repositioned on the stone for even cooking.

The blade is 27 cm wide, matching the diameter of standard pizza bases, and the overall length of 270 mm provides sufficient reach for most commercial ovens. The blade and handle are formed from a single piece of metal, eliminating joints that could weaken or trap food debris. The flat surface of the blade ensures even support across the pizza, preventing sagging or tearing during transfer.

Cleaning involves wiping the blade after each use to remove cheese or sauce residue, followed by a wash in hot water with a non-abrasive detergent. The seamless construction allows thorough drying to prevent corrosion, and the blade can be stored flat or hung to save space in the kitchen.

The spatula is categorised under pizza preparation tools in the professional catering catalogue.
