Big Green Egg Bamboo Pizza Peel with 12in Aluminium Pizza Screen

Intro

For Big Green Egg cooks who want control when handling pizza from bench to grill. This set combines a bamboo pizza peel with a 12in aluminium pizza screen to support consistent transfers and better heat management. It suits high-temperature charcoal pizza cooking where precision matters.

Key Features

• 12in (31cm) aluminium pizza screen designed to manage heat exposure to the base
• Open screen construction allows airflow under the pizza to reduce excess browning
• Bamboo pizza peel measures 50cm long including handle
• 30.5cm wide peel surface provides stable support for pizzas and breads
• Lightweight bamboo construction with bevelled edge for easier lifting and placement

Typical Use on a Hot Ceramic Grill

On high-heat ceramic grills, pizzas are often started directly on a hot stone to establish the base and initial browning. Once the base is firm, the pizza can be moved onto the aluminium screen. This lifts the pizza slightly away from the stone reducing direct heat to the base while allowing the toppings to finish cooking without burning the bottom crust.

Q&A

Q: What size pizza does the screen suit?
A: The aluminium pizza screen is 12 inches or 31cm in diameter, suitable for standard home pizza sizes on the Big Green Egg.

Q: Do I cook the pizza entirely on the screen?
A: You can cook on the screen if needed. Many cooks start the pizza directly on a hot stone, then move it onto the screen once the base is firm. This reduces direct heat and helps prevent the base from burning while the toppings finish cooking.

Q: Why use a screen instead of launching directly from the peel?
A: The screen reduces sticking and helps maintain the shape of the pizza during handling, which is useful when working with softer doughs or higher hydration bases.

What We Love

Pizza cooking on ceramic grills rewards calm handling and heat awareness. This peel and screen combination removes pressure from the transfer and finishing stages, letting you focus on dough, fire, and timing instead of fighting the base.
