Ooni Metal Pizza Peel | 5 Years Later Review!

Hi! In this video, I’m sharing a 5-year long-term review of my Ooni 12" perforated square metal pizza peel. This tool has been with me through countless cooks, and I’m breaking down why it’s one of the most important pieces of gear in my outdoor kitchen—and why I never use it for launching! We’ll explore why a good peel is essential for safety and control when cooking at 450°C, and why the square shape has actually changed how I turn my pizzas. I also dive into the benefits of perforations for removing excess flour and explain the "outside the oven" turning technique I use for perfect heat management. Whether you’re using an Ooni Koda 2, Volt 2, or even a Koda 2 Pro this review will help you decide if this is the right addition to your setup. Do you prefer a square peel like this, or have you moved over to a dedicated round turning peel? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! I hope you enjoy this video, thank you so much for being here, I really appreciate you! ✨☕️ If you would like to support Got2EatPizza or you would like to buy me a coffee you are welcome to donate to my paypal account: 🍕 https://www.paypal.me/got2eatpizza OVENS & ACCESSORIES HERE!: US Ooni official store https://tidd.ly/4eN1mYK UK Ooni official store https://tidd.ly/4eQjBgN AMAZON LINKS: ⇢* NINJA 8 in 1 Woodfire Oven: https://amzn.to/47Jp18A ⇢* Mini Wooden Pizza Roller - https://amzn.to/31TJAgp (helps stretch the pizza) ⇢* 12" Wooden Pizza Peel - https://amzn.to/2nQfKvs (for the 12" Pizza Ovens) ⇢* 15" Wider Wooden Pizza Peel - https://amzn.to/3rXxlwB (for the 16" Pizza Ovens) ⇢* Laser Temperature Thermometer - https://amzn.to/2VKRQhB (for every oven!)
