A pizzeria launches on wood and turns on metal. At home, a wide wooden peel lets you stretch, sauce, and slide onto a steel without the dough seizing.
Look for a thin edge and a handle you trust. Dust with flour or semolina. Shake. If it does not move, it is not ready. Amazon is full of peels — pick a wide one with real reviews, not the cheapest toy.
