Soup ladle, skimmer or serving spoon HENDI 855577

A pizza spatula slides under the base of a pizza to lift, turn or transfer it without tearing the crust or losing toppings. The broad, flat blade spreads the weight of the pizza evenly, so the operator can manoeuvre a large, hot pie from the stone or deck to the peel or serving board in one motion. The handle keeps the hand clear of the heat and gives the leverage needed to support the weight of the pizza without strain.

To use the spatula, the operator slides the blade under the pizza, tilts it slightly to lift the edge, then draws the pizza onto the blade in a single, smooth motion. The pizza can then be transferred to a peel, a serving tray or a cutting board. The same motion in reverse deposits the pizza onto a stone for further baking or onto a serving surface.

The blade is made of stainless steel, which resists corrosion, does not react with acidic toppings and cleans easily. The handle is plastic, which stays cool to the touch and provides a secure grip even when wet. The overall dimensions of 370 by 90 millimetres give a blade long enough to support a standard pizza while keeping the handle within easy reach of the operator.

The size of the blade determines the largest pizza the spatula can lift without bending or flexing. The width of 90 millimetres allows the operator to slide the blade under the pizza without catching the edge of the stone or deck. The length of 370 millimetres provides enough reach to lift a pizza from the back of a deep oven or to transfer it across a wide worktop.

Cleaning is straightforward: the stainless steel blade wipes clean with a damp cloth or can be washed in hot, soapy water. The plastic handle should not be immersed in water for long periods, but can be wiped down with a disinfectant solution to maintain hygiene.
