FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this rack?

The rack measures 18 inches, with total dimensions of approximately 46cm x 31.5cm.

Is this cooling rack oven-safe?

While intended for cooling, the chrome construction can handle moderate heat; however, check your oven temperature settings to ensure they do not exceed the limits of the metal finish.

Can I use this for cooling bread loaves?

Yes, the sturdy wire grid is perfect for resting heavy items like sourdough or artisan loaves to ensure the base crust stays crisp.

Does the rack rust over time?

The chrome plating is designed to be corrosion-resistant. To ensure it stays rust-free, avoid leaving it soaking in water and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.

Can it be stacked?

This model does not feature built-in stacking legs, so it is best used as a single-level surface.

What is the weight capacity of the rack?

The rack is robustly constructed for standard baking, capable of supporting heavy cakes and roasting pans without bending.

Troubleshooting

Rack surface shows water spots after dishwasher cleaning

Immediately dry the rack with a lint-free cloth after the dishwasher cycle finishes to prevent mineral buildup.

Baked goods sticking to the rack

Lightly mist the rack with cooking spray before placing your items on it, or ensure goods have cooled sufficiently before attempting to move them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Large surface area ideal for bulk baking
  • Promotes even cooling to prevent soggy bottoms
  • Easy to clean and dishwasher safe
  • Sturdy construction supports heavy weight
  • Classic aesthetic fits well in any kitchen

  • Requires significant storage space due to its size

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your cooling rack, place it on a level, heat-resistant surface away from drafty areas to ensure consistent cooling. While the rack is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a mild detergent and a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the longevity of the chrome finish. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the surface and potentially lead to rusting. Ensure the rack is completely dry before storing it in a vertical position to optimize your cabinet space.
