The Boretti Pizzaiolo Toolset brings the authenticity of an Italian pizzeria to your own garden. This Dutch brand with its distinctive Italian design, which you may have seen on The Great Garden Makeover, has compiled a complete set for anyone who wants to get serious about making homemade pizzas on the barbecue or in a pizza oven. Whether you're an experienced home cook or just starting out with pizza baking, this professional toolset gives you all the equipment you need for an authentic result. With the Pizzaiolo Toolset, you bring the atmosphere and quality of a real Italian restaurant to your own outdoor kitchen.

This high-quality set is made from stainless steel (steel), a material known for its durability, hygiene and resistance to high temperatures. The natural wooden handles in combination with the silver-coloured steel and black details provide a stylish appearance that perfectly suits the refined design concept Boretti is known for. Like the cast iron grates that equip Boretti's barbecues, this toolset is built to last for years. The set comes with a 2-year warranty, so you can enjoy your pizza adventures with peace of mind.

Features & advantages of the toolset

Professional steel for optimal heat resistance

The complete Pizzaiolo Toolset is made from high-quality stainless steel that can withstand the extreme temperatures involved in pizza baking. In a pizza oven or on a hot pizza stone, temperatures can rise well above 400 degrees Celsius, and these tools are specifically designed for that. The steel does not warp, does not rust and retains its strength even with repeated use under these extreme conditions. Moreover, steel is hygienic and easy to clean, which is essential when working with food.

Ergonomic handles for safe and comfortable use

The natural wooden handles of the Pizzaiolo Toolset are not only beautiful to look at, but also offer excellent grip and remain relatively cool during use. This is crucial when working with hot ovens and pizzas fresh from the fire. The handles are long enough to keep sufficient distance from the heat source, allowing you to work safely without burning your hands. The ergonomic design means you can use the tools for hours without fatigue, ideal for pizza evenings with lots of guests.

Complete set for every step of the pizza-baking process

The Boretti Pizzaiolo Toolset contains all the essential tools a pizza baker needs. With the pizza peel you can easily slide raw pizzas into the oven without the toppings shifting. The pizza cutter with wheel mechanism cuts easily through crispy bases without the toppings sliding off, whilst other accessories in the set help you turn and remove your pizzas from the oven. This complete approach means you don't have to make do with half solutions or hunt for multiple loose accessories.

Stylish Italian design that fits any outdoor kitchen

Boretti is known for its aesthetically attractive products that combine Italian elegance with Dutch quality. The Pizzaiolo Toolset is a perfect example of this, with its harmonious colour combination of natural wood, silver steel and black accents. These tools are not only functional, but also decorative enough to hang on a hook in your outdoor kitchen. They blend seamlessly with Boretti barbecues with their distinctive cast iron grates and also look great with other brands and styles of garden kitchens.

Applications

Authentic Neapolitan pizzas on the barbecue

With the Pizzaiolo Toolset you can convert your barbecue or gas barbecue into a real pizza oven. Use a pizza stone on the grate, let it preheat well and slide your homemade pizzas onto it with the pizza peel. The tools give you the control you need to turn the pizza at the right moment for an evenly baked result, and to remove it at just the right time when the base is crispy and the cheese is bubbling. The result? Pizzas with that characteristic roasted flavour and crispy texture that you normally only get in a pizzeria.

Pizzas from the wood-fired pizza oven

Do you have a special pizza oven in your garden? Then this toolset is absolutely essential. The long handles protect your hands from the intense heat of wood fire, whilst the robust steel construction ensures the tools don't warp from the extreme temperatures. You can quickly slide pizzas in, turn them for even baking, and remove them as soon as they're perfect. The professional quality of these tools makes the difference between amateur results and restaurant-worthy pizzas.

Focaccia, flatbreads and other bread types

The versatility of the Pizzaiolo Toolset extends beyond just pizza. Use the same tools for baking focaccia, Turkish pide, Indian naan, or other flatbreads on your barbecue or in your oven. The pizza peel works excellently for all flat bread types, and the cutter helps with portioning. This way you get even more value from this investment and can expand your outdoor kitchen repertoire with various international bread specialities.

Assembly & use

The Boretti Pizzaiolo Toolset is delivered ready to use and requires no assembly. On first use, it is advisable to thoroughly clean all steel parts with warm soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues. Rinse them thoroughly afterwards and dry them well. The wooden handles are best treated with food-safe oil or wood balm to protect them against drying out and water stains, especially if you plan to use the set regularly.

During use, it is important never to leave the tools unattended in or near the fire. Whilst the steel is heat-resistant, the wooden handles can be damaged by prolonged exposure to extreme heat. Use the peel in fluid movements to move pizzas – a bit of practice helps you develop the right feel. Lightly dust the peel with flour or semolina before placing a raw pizza on it, so it slides smoothly from the peel onto the stone.

After use, let the tools cool down before cleaning them. Clean the steel with warm water and washing-up liquid, use a scouring pad if needed for stubborn burnt-on residues. Dry everything thoroughly to prevent water marks. Store the set in a dry place, preferably hanging on hooks or in a tool holder, so the tools don't get damaged and are always within reach for your next pizza night. Treat the wooden handles with oil again from time to time to keep them in optimal condition. With these simple maintenance steps, your Pizzaiolo Toolset will last for generations.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Pizzaiolo Toolset suitable for all types of barbecues?

Yes, the toolset is universally applicable. Whether you have a Boretti barbecue with cast iron grates, another gas barbecue, a charcoal barbecue or a special pizza oven – these tools work everywhere. They are specifically designed to function at high temperatures and in different cooking environments. The only thing to keep in mind is that you need enough space to manoeuvre the pizza peel, but that shouldn't be a problem with most barbecues and ovens.

Can the parts go in the dishwasher?

The steel parts are in principle dishwasher-safe, but we recommend hand washing for a longer lifespan. The wooden handles should definitely not go in the dishwasher, as the hot water and aggressive detergents can cause the wood to crack, discolour or come loose from the metal part. Hand washing with warm water and mild washing-up liquid is quick and keeps your tools in optimal condition.

How long should the handles be for safe use?

The Boretti Pizzaiolo Toolset is designed with professionally-length handles that create sufficient distance between your hands and the heat source. This is based on years of experience with professional pizza bakers and has been tested in very high temperature situations. You can work safely without special oven gloves, although at extremely high temperatures (such as in wood-fired pizza ovens) it's always wise to have heat-resistant gloves on hand.

Does this set fit with my existing Boretti barbecue?

Absolutely! The Pizzaiolo Toolset is designed to perfectly match Boretti's design concept, the brand you may know from The Great Garden Makeover. The colour combination and Italian design seamlessly match the Boretti barbecues with their distinctive cast iron grates. But even if you have a different barbecue, this stylish set fits perfectly in your outdoor kitchen and brings a touch of Italian elegance to your garden.
