Do you like pizza enough to have a part in your will on which grandchild obtains the household pizza peel? Well, you're not alone. Now, you just have to keep that wooden pizza peel appearing superb for the upcoming 100 years. The good news is that it's not impossible. Below are the very simple steps. The most vital trick is to not let way too much, if any, water get into the peel. Water will dry out your wooden peel and make it contort and fracture.
Step 1 - Cover the wooden pizza peel with mineral oil. You do not need special pizza peel oil. Save yourself some money and just pay a visit to your local area hardware store and acquire some USP-grade mineral oil. Basically wipe the oil on the surface area of your peel and observe it soaking in. When the wood won't take any more oil, you can rub off the excess with a dry rag. Don't get worried about applying too much - more is better. You should do this process monthly or as often as desired. Whatever you do don't use vegetable or olive oil. They will essentially turn sour. Not ideal.
Step 2 - Wash your pizza peel when you finish each use. How can you thoroughly clean the peel and not get it wet? Great question. Most of us don't understand how to use anything except for soap and water, but as luck would have it some brilliant people figured out that you can (and should) use full-strength white vinegar. The acetic acid in the vinegar is a great disinfectant, successful against such harmful bugs as E. Coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus.

Step 3 - Brush your wooden peel when not in use. By keeping it clean, you can retain the life of your peel. Crumbs, melted cheese, and sauce can collect on the peel and make the surface uneven.
Step 4 - Remember To Keep your wooden pizza peel dry. Water is the adversary so store your peel far from the front lines of combat.
Step 5 - Do not keep your wooden pizza peel on very hot surfaces. If a wooden peel is placed on a very hot surface, it will warp. Once distorted, balancing a pizza on it can be quite a feat. If your wooden board is already out of shape, lay it out overnight with the warp (curved side) facing upward. In most cases this severely decreases the problem. If the problem isn't resolved, it is time to replace the peel.
Now you understand how to take care of your wooden pizza peel for the next 100 years. Tell your grand kids "your welcome" for me.
