Oven Shovels

Oven shovels are tools used to lift items into and out of ovens.

They are made of wood or metal, and consist of a “paddle” attached to a handle. Small home ones will be about 40 cm long (15 inches) in total. There is usually a hole at the end of the handle for looping a string through for hanging the shovels in storage.

The paddle end of wood ones will be ½ cm to 1 cm thick (¼ to ⅜ inches).

Oven shovels can be used to:

  • lift free-form breads in and out of the oven;
  • ease many small ramekin dishes in and out of the oven;
  • move pizzas and pizza slices in and out of the oven.

Some metal ones will be shaped like a shovel with sides on the paddle part, like a dustpan. These are for removing ashes from a wood-burning oven.
