How long a handle do I need on my peel?
I just got a new peel at a very decent price (I think, at least for up here in Canada) it's wood with a 12" x 14" blade and a 24" long handle. I was wondering if it made sense to trim that handle back to maybe 8 or 12" since I'm not using it in a deep pizza oven just a normal household oven. Cutting it would be no issue.
There were shorter handled peels but they were metal and considerably more expensive (different brand).
Opinions?
