The 9 in. x 13 in. strong, flat surface of the Pizza Board opposes most stains and odors and is easy on your cutlery. The exclusive surface of Mapletex is NSF listed and FDA approved in both the USA and Canada and offers a long life with superior sanitation. Mapletex is made with layers of resin impregnated paper sheets which have been fused together by a balanced pressure-temperature process. The composition of the Pizza Peel with an 5 in. handle makes it heat resistant up to 350 degrees F, and will not warp or bend. The combination of paper for strength and phenolic resin for resilience and sanitation means you won't find a higher quality cutting surface than with Mapletex.
