Elizabeth Karmel's 14- by 13-inch Bamboo Pizza Peel with Folding Handle

Very disappointed with this product. Did not look new and is of poor quality. Is awkward to handle and not well-balanced. The screw was not as pictured; it is a big knob that is frustratingly difficult to turn. I thought the handle would swivel to fold; it does not. You have to remove the screw completely, remove the handle, and then place two wooden pegs into two holes, and then put the screw back in.

I almost did not order this due to a reviewers complaint regarding the handle being difficult to swivel. I went ahead though due to the storability of the folding handle feature. Storability is a big factor for fulltime rvers.

I received the peel and found the screw very easy to turn due to the heavy large black plastic head. The handle has two sturdy dowel pins attached that are quite easy to line up and insert into the corresponding holes on the board. This is a safety feature that prevents the peel from accidentally swiveling while in use.

The peel is beautiful and very easy to use. The directions state it can be used as a serving tray but I would be reluctant to cut anything while on the tray and damage the beautiful smooth surface.

Of course it will work well for sliding pizza on the grill as well as sliding no knead bread dough into the oven.

We are very happy with this peel and finds it easy to use.

Received peel and had to correct following items to permit use:

1. Locating pins in handle had fallen out. One of the pins was too long and had to be cut. Glued back in place.

2. Press nut on peel that handle bolts to had fallen out. Applied glue and pressed back in place.

3. Grommet for hanging strap hole in handle had fallen out. Glued and pressed back in place.

4. Pivot point hole in handle was not drilled completely through. Re-drilled.

In addition, picture does not show the large black knob used to attach handle to peel.

After repair work, peel is useable and attractive to look at but folding handle function has created more problems than it's worth. I suspect before too many uses I will be bolting the handle permanently to the peel.

I ordered 2 of these because the sale price was what I was willing to pay. If you overlook the fact that the handle really does not actually swivel, it works fine. It might be because the two little dowels on mine are not equal sizes. One is twice as long as the other. The instruction states that you should be able to loosen the knob such that the handle will swivel, but the dowels don't actually release until the screw is completely free. Is this a big deal for me? Not really. It's not too hard to remove the handle and store it in 2 pieces. It would be more difficult to reattach it in the 'swivel' position as you have to line up the dowels, and do so blindly. I just leave it in one piece. If you are buying this thinking it will swivel easily, it will not. That said, it feels pretty sturdy, and it will do the job well.
