The Winco PPG-8 is a heavy-duty manual tool designed for the safe extraction of deep-dish pizza pans from high-temperature commercial ovens. Engineered specifically for the thick-walled pans used in Chicago-style or specialty deep-dish recipes, this gripper provides a secure mechanical advantage for kitchen staff. By creating a firm lock on the rim of the pan, it allows for a stable transfer from the oven rack to the prep table without risking direct contact with the hot metal or damaging the crust of the pizza.

Fabricated from stainless steel, the PPG-8 is built to withstand the repetitive thermal stress and physical demands of a high-volume pizzeria. The professional-grade gripper resists warping and corrosion, ensuring a long service life in moist or greasy kitchen environments.

The reinforced hinge and handle design provide the necessary leverage to lift heavy, fully-loaded pans safely. Making it a fundamental safety component for any operation utilizing stone or deck ovens where traditional oven mitts do not provide sufficient grip or heat protection.
