Homemade Pizza Peel
After looking for a pizza peel for home use I decided to try and make one after getting a cheap (£2) non-stick baking (cookie) sheet from the UK store Wilkinsons, only trouble is that now i'm in the dog-house for shortening a broom handle for my baking toy!. Cheers, Steve

Can you show a view of the bottom to show more detail on how the handle is attached.
Side view too.
Thanks.
Such a great idea, I'm surprised noone else thought this up a long time ago.
Did you use a broom stick for the handle? Or is it 3/4" dowel?
Hi all, The handle is just a piece of sawn off broom handle which is why i've now got a broom only suitable for those of restricted height. As the baking sheet is quite flexible the handle is longer underneath as that also suited the small nuts n' bolts I had in the garage as this was a credit crunch solution to the problem. For those with cash and live nr London pukka pizza peels are available from Pages in Shaftesbury Ave nr Cambridge Circus (£14 for a small one) my design is Pat Pending...... as it is a prototype i'm thinking of countersinking the nuts for a smoother look and a nice hardwood handle would look posher! doubt it would be man enough for some of the behemoth miches i've seen on these pages, but a 12" pizza should be fine. Thanks for the interest, Steve
