Abstract: This peel is made from metal for ease in cleaning and has a wooden handle to provide heat insulation for the user. The peel has a wedge shaped groove extending from one edge through its center formed into its surface. The maximum depth of the groove is at the peel edge and tapers to the peel plane on the opposite end. One end of the wooden handle is sized and shaped to fit within this wedge shaped groove. The groove increases the strength of the plate and also engages and reinforces the handle. The streamlined shape of the wedge makes it easy to insert or remove the peel from under pans or bakery products. The peel has a linear U-shaped integral extension from the groove which partially encloses the handle. This extension provides additional rigidity for the peel and support for the handle. Integral concave shaped fillets from opposite sides of the extension to the plate which lie in the plane of the plate provide further strength for the extension attachment.
