Description

Cooling rack (also known simply as a wire rack) is used to allow air to circulate freely to cool baked goods, and to prevent them getting soggy from condensation. A tight grid is typically the best format for a cooling rack, to prevent thin baked goods from breaking or falling through. Cooling racks for cakes are absolutely essential. If you frost a still warm cake, you’ll end up with a different texture to your frosting or even melted frosting. Even if you plan to leave the cake in the pan, you can still place it on a cooling rack to help speed the cool-down process. Similarly you can place warm pies, tarts or turnovers on a cooling rack and get them to cool down more quickly.
