Norpro Pizza Peel and Paddle Review

Norpro Pizza Peel and Paddle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had a few other pizza peels before, and this one is by far the best I've used. I ordered it, and got it the next day, so I had to make a pizza to christen it. It worked like a dream. I used cornmeal on it and the pizza slid right off onto our pizza stone. No problem. It is also very large. You can make a pretty big pizza on that.
Construction seems very good, and the surface is very smooth. No loose wood pieces or anything like that. I highly recommend it... And I did a lot of research!

Natural wooden tapered edge board. Great for sliding pizzas in and out of the oven and to serve at the table.

Norpro Deluxe Pastry & Pizza Roller Review

If you make your own pizza dough this is the roller for you. I actually buy mine from "Fresh and Easy" but it's still the same. I use to use a regular rolling pin but that didn't work out my mom got me this and I've been in love with it ever since. What's so great about it is it's small enough to roll the dough in the pizza pan. With the small rounded end it's easy to get in the corners of the pan and get a ridge on the edges without any effort with the bigger roller it's easy to spread the dough out from the center of the pan. The only thing that you have to watch out for is not to soak it or keep it in water for long, it tends to start discoloring the wood and then start splitting after a while. I season mine with oil every now and then.
I've tried the marble version but the handle was cramped and the wire roller holders were twisted (I twisted them back though). The marble version does have some advantages; it's heavier which makes it easier to roll the dough out, its easier to clean, you can put it in the dishwasher and you can let it soak. If you have smaller hands you might like it more.
The funny thing is is that Amazon keeps changing pictures of this roller from the shorter wooden roller to the longer version I'm reviewing. Get the longer one.

Norpro Pizza 13-inch by 15-inch Baking Stone Review

Norpro Pizza 13-inch by 15-inch Baking Stone

I bought this stone to try out some new bread and pizza recipes. The stone cracked in half after about 20 uses over the course of 6 weeks. It broke in half while making pizza, not while cleaning it or moving it. It is possible some sauce got on the stone, which also can create cracking, but I expected the stone to be more sturdy. When it was whole, the stone worked great, creating a crackly, even-colored crust. But it is too delicate and not an adequate thickness for the high heat involved making pizza. The overall surface area of the stone is a healthy 13 x 15 inches. But the product description suggest that the stone is 2 inches thick. That's a bad typo. It's actually 1/2 inch thick, possibly only 3/8 inch. A good bread/pizza stone should be at least 3/4 inch thick. I should have known it was a typo, since expensive stones are rarely more than 1 inch thick.

14" S/S PIZZA PAN Review

14 S/S PIZZA PAN
Average Reviews:

I love my pan, but it is definately not non-stick. You do need to lightly oil it, or use parchment paper, but is durable, functional, beautiful, and does not have that nasty non-stick coating that's so bad for you. My asthmatic son does not do well with non-stick being used in the house at all - it gives off fumes, let alone what peels off into your food. Stainless Steel or glass is much safer and healthier.
It's dishwasher safe, but if you get a lot of food stuck on it, just soak it first. If it gets a little baked on oil, or other stain, just clean it off gently with a little baking soda and water on a sponge or paper towel.
