FAQs
Why is the handle red?
The red handle is a color-coding convention used in professional kitchens to indicate that the tool should only be used for meat-based products to prevent cross-contamination.
Is this dishwasher safe?
While the materials are durable, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the sharpness of the stainless steel blade and the integrity of the plastic handle.
Can this be used for other foods besides pizza?
Yes, it works well for cutting flatbreads, quesadillas, or even pastry dough, provided it adheres to the kitchen's color-coding safety rules.
What is the diameter of the blade?
The blade measures 102mm, which is exactly 4 inches.
Does the blade lock in place?
The wheel is designed to rotate freely to allow for smooth slicing motion across the pizza surface.
Troubleshooting
The wheel is dragging instead of cutting through the crust
Ensure you are using a stable, flat cutting board. If the blade is dull, it may need to be replaced, or ensure you are applying firm, consistent pressure downward during the cut.
Food residue is stuck near the axle of the wheel
Soak the wheel briefly in warm, soapy water and use a small brush to clear debris from the center pivot point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This pizza wheel requires no assembly and is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To ensure the longevity of the blade, avoid using it on hard surfaces like metal baking trays, which can dull the edge; instead, use a wooden or plastic cutting board. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the wheel with warm, soapy water after every use. Thoroughly dry the blade immediately after washing to prevent spotting and to maintain the integrity of the stainless steel. Store in a dedicated knife rack or drawer to keep the cutting edge protected.
