ABSTRACT:
A paddle apparatus for supporting a pizza includes a handle portion, a pizza supporting portion having a support surface with an air discharge port, an air source, and an air conduit interconnecting the air source and the air discharge port, so that a quantity of air is supplied by the air source and discharged through the air discharge port to dislodge the pizza from the support surface for removal of the pizza from the apparatus. The air conduit preferably includes a longitudinal passageway in the handle and pizza supporting portions, and opens through the discharge port out of the support surface. The air discharge port preferably includes a hole in the support surface with a disk insert having an opening at its center, the opening having a cross-section which is smaller than the cross-section of the passageway, for accelerating the speed of air delivered through the passageway by reducing the cross-sectional flow area. The passageway preferably includes a longitudinal channel recessed into the lower surface of the handle and pizza supporting portions, the channel having a cross-section which progressively narrows with depth, and a slat member fitted snugly and engagingly into the channel for completing the passageway. The slat member preferably includes a longitudinal groove to widen and round out the passageway. The air source preferably includes a squeeze bulb.
