Pizza making accessory HENDI 617823

A perforated pizza scoop transfers large pizzas from worktop to oven and back without tearing the base or leaving flour behind.

The flat, perforated blade slides under the pizza while the sharpened rim cuts through any stuck-on dough. Hundreds of small holes let excess flour fall away, keeping the oven deck clean and preventing smoke from burning flour. The same holes reduce surface friction, so the pizza glides on and off the scoop with a single push or pull.

To use, dust the blade with flour, slide it under the pizza, lift and carry to the oven deck. The sharpened edge acts as a cutter if the pizza has stuck. Once the pizza is on the deck, pull the scoop straight back; the microperforation prevents suction so the pizza stays in place. After baking, slide the scoop under the pizza again and lift it out.

The scoop is made of anodised black aluminium, a hard, non-stick surface that resists scratches and does not react with acidic toppings. Anodising also seals the metal, preventing corrosion from steam and frequent washing.

The overall size of 1700 by 500 mm gives a large, stable surface that can handle pizzas up to the same width. The length allows the operator to reach the back of deep ovens without stretching.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe off flour and dough residue with a damp cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, wash the scoop in warm water with mild detergent, rinse and dry immediately to prevent water spots. The anodised surface does not require seasoning or special treatment.
