It arrives disassembled to ensure it fits in standard packaging, but it is designed to be easily put together. The handle and paddle connect securely for use and can be taken apart again whenever you need to save space in your kitchen.

With a total assembled length of 32.25 inches, it provides plenty of reach for most standard home ovens and grills. The 12-inch by 14-inch paddle is sized to handle standard homemade pizzas while still fitting comfortably through most oven doors.

Yes, the paddle is made from FDA-approved aluminum. It is a food-safe material commonly used in baking tools because it is lightweight, durable, and resists warping under heat.

Because the handle and paddle disassemble, cleaning is straightforward. You can wash the aluminum paddle with warm, soapy water, and wipe down the cottonwood handle; avoid putting the wooden handle in the dishwasher to keep the material in good condition.

The beveled front edge acts like a ramp, allowing the paddle to slide easily underneath raw pizza dough or baked bread without damaging the crust. This makes transferring food onto a hot pizza stone or out of the oven much smoother.

No, the cottonwood handle is specifically chosen because it stays cool to the touch. It provides a safe, comfortable grip that keeps your hands and arms away from the intense heat of the oven or grill.
