Description
- A cooling rack is a rack made from closely spaced wires or spokes, and small legs that elevate the rack above the countertop.
- Cooling racks are often metal, however can be made from wood or other heatproof material.
- The rack speeds the cooling of cookies, cakes or breads. It allows steam to escape from all sides of the baked product so the bottom doesn't get soggy.
Substitutions
- Cool cookies on parchment on the countertop rather than on a cooling rack. As cookies begin to cool turn them over to speed complete cooling and prevent bottom of cookies from getting soggy.
Tips
- When baking cookies use a cooling rack with closely spaced wires or spokes so cookies have adequate support when cooling.
- Cover the rack with a sheet of waxed paper before placing a delicate cake on the rack to prevent the surface from getting damaged or sticking to the rack.
