Stefan, I don't have access to the OED, but the Merriam-Webster had this to 
say:

>                      Function: noun
>                      Etymology: Middle English pele, from Middle French,

>                      Date: 14th century
>                      : a usually long-handled spade-shaped instrument

> or out of the oven

I hope this helps...

By this he means the wooden paddle used to move<br>
food into and out of medieval ovens. As he gave me<br>
a very good description of the item, when I wasn't<br>

he doesn't need info on the item, just some info on<br>
where the name is derived from.<br>
