For smaller pizzas, a peel with a diameter of 12-14 inches is sufficient, while for larger pizzas, a peel with a diameter of 16-18 inches might be required.

A boneless rib roast is not the same as prime rib, although they are derived from the same cut of meat. Prime rib refers to the specific grade of meat selected by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) based on its marbling, age, and tenderness, while boneless rib roast refers to the cut of meat itself, which can come from any grade. Therefore, a boneless rib roast can be prime rib if it meets the USDA’s standards for grading, but not all boneless rib roasts are prime rib.

Both wood and metal pizza peels have their own advantages and disadvantages. A wood pizza peel is good for sliding a pizza onto a hot pizza stone in the oven and is less likely to damage the crust during the process. It is also great for serving pizzas because it looks attractive and can help absorb any excess moisture. On the other hand, a metal pizza peel is easier to clean and is great for pizzas with very thin crusts. It is also less likely to warp or crack over time. Ultimately, the choice between wood or metal pizza peel depends on personal preference and the type of pizza you are making.
