🧰 Using the Chef’s Kit

 

What’s in the box — and how to actually use it.

Your oven is the engine. The Chef’s Kit is your control panel. If you’ve grabbed one of our premium bundles, here’s how to get the most out of every tool.

🍕 Pizza Peel

Launch & Serve Like a Pro

• Use flour or semolina to prevent sticking.
• Slide under the pizza with a quick, confident motion.
• After the bake, serve directly from the peel — rustic style.
  ✅ Don’t overload your pizza — less weight, less sticking.

🔄 Turning Peel

For Flawless, Even Cooking

• After 30–60 seconds, rotate the pizza 180°
• Use small, quick movements under the crust edge
• Works best with round pies and hot ovens (450°C+)

✅ Pro move: Lift the crust toward the flame briefly for char bubbles.

🌡️ Digital Thermometer

Know Your Heat, Don’t Guess

• Check the stone temp — not the flame. Aim for 400–500°C.
• Point, click, and fire.
• Use between pizzas to stay consistent.
