FAQs

Can I put this cooling rack in the dishwasher?

It is recommended to hand wash the Salter Bakes Cooling Rack with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Dishwasher use may degrade the finish and potentially lead to discoloration or damage over time.

What material is the cooling rack made of?

The cooling rack is made from durable carbon steel.

Is the cooling rack oven-safe?

This cooling rack is designed for cooling baked goods after they come out of the oven. It is not intended for use inside the oven during baking.

How large is the cooling rack?

The cooling rack has a large surface area suitable for cooling multiple baked items simultaneously, such as cookies, cakes, or sausage rolls.

Will this rack prevent my cakes from getting soggy bottoms?

Yes, its raised design allows for excellent air circulation underneath your baked goods, which is crucial for preventing moisture buildup and keeping bottoms crisp.

How should I store the cooling rack when not in use?

Store the cooling rack in a dry place to prevent any potential degradation. It can typically be stored flat in a cupboard or drawer.

Troubleshooting

Baked goods sticking to the rack

Ensure the rack is lightly greased before placing batter directly onto it, or always use parchment paper or silicone mats for items prone to sticking.

Rack wobbling during use

Ensure the rack is placed on a perfectly level surface. Check that the wire legs are straight and not bent.

Discoloration after washing

This is likely due to mineral deposits from water or insufficient drying. Ensure the rack is dried thoroughly after each wash. For stubborn spots, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and rinsed.

Rust spots appearing

This can occur if the rack is left wet or exposed to high humidity for extended periods. Gently scrub the rust spots with a fine-grade steel wool or a baking soda paste, then wash and dry immediately and thoroughly. Consider storing in a dry environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This rack is compatible with most standard ovens and countertop spaces. It is designed to hold a variety of baked goods, from small cookies to larger cakes.

Care: To maintain the durability and finish of your cooling rack:

  1. Allow the rack to cool completely before cleaning.
  2. Hand wash with warm, soapy water.
  3. Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to remove food residue.
