The cooling rack is perfect to cool sweet and savory preparations. It is also excellent as a support during the icing phase of the cake and by placing it on a tray, it allows to recover the excess icing. The tight grid structure prevents cracking in your baked goods. The grid feet elevate baked goods off of countertops to provide even airflow. Freshly baked cakes should always be cooled on a grid to retain the crispiness on the outside. Cooling Rack is made of non-stick metal. Not suitable for cooking.
