The sixth appointment with the column to get to know Gi.Metal in ten words focuses on the pizza chef’s arms: the first, real tool for preparing high-quality pizza.

Perfect pizza every time? It often depends on a series of gestures: turning, sliding, baking, pulling. These are only apparently simple actions. In actual fact, they are part of a choreography of strength and gentleness, where the arm leads and the peel follows.

The first tool is indeed the pizza chef’s arm. It must be precise, so that every movement is perfectly tuned. But it must also be strong almost tireless, to sustain the pace of preparation. Gestures must be flowing yet calculated.

But every chef’s arm, even the most experienced, needs the right ally. And that is how the pizza peel becomes a trustworthy extension, faithfully following the chef’s gestures.

That is what the Evoluzione line does every day: Gi.Metal peels and small peels that, thanks to their features, are a true extension of the pizza chef’s arm. The S.H.A. treatment on the aluminium handle makes Evoluzione a light and smooth tool. First and foremost, this means less fatigue and more practicality in your daily work.

In addition, Evoluzione’s peel head has special perforation that ensures flour removal in two directions. A small detail that makes all the difference, and enhances the pizza chef’s work, preventing burnt flour and flour build-up under the pizza. Ergonomic, flexible and perfectly balanced, the Evoluzione line is a guarantee for every pizza chef. It can never replace their arms, but faithfully follows their gestures.

Day after day, this same loyalty is reciprocated by the pizza chefs who choose Gi.Metal and share their choice within their community. The result is a bond that goes beyond the technical function of a peel,large or small: it is a relationship built on mutual esteem, respect and consistency.
