![]() ![]() The Checkered Chef Cooling Rack is our top choice because of its rust resistance, ease of cleanup, and durable design. Oven Safe: Yes, up to 400 degrees | Material: Aluminum | Dimensions: 12 x 17 inches The half-sheet size is roomy, and the galvanized steel rim adds extra depth to the pan while ensuring it keeps its shape. The pan does not warp or bend in the oven, the aluminum construction guarantees even heating, and you have the rack to cool your cookies on when they exit the oven. This also makes a great choice for baking gooey on the inside, crispy on the outside white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Add in the oven-safe rack and you now have the ultimate tool for roasting parsnip fries, crisping bacon, or letting your fried chicken rest without sitting in grease. It's the pan to make a sheet of Coca-Cola cake in, and shortbread cookies never cooked more evenly. The special thing about a rimmed baking sheet is its versatility. Not only is this Nordic Ware model crafted with durable aluminum, but it also comes with a rimmed baking sheet. There's a secret in commercial kitchens about aluminum: It provides ultimate heat conduction and never rusts. Oven Safe: No | Materials: Metal | Dimensions: 16 x 10 x 1,85 inches Others find it hard to open, heavy, and difficult to maximize the middle rack. Since it’s made of metal, some users have seen rusting even after following the care instructions. ![]() This budget-friendly pick is not without some drawbacks. Unlike some other multi-tier options, each level is high enough to fit unfrosted cupcakes or even a pie or two. What we also like about this one is the height in-between the levels. “It collapses and is about the size of a rimmed sheet pan when folded, so it’s also space-saving." "This cooling rack has three levels, but only takes up the counter space of a single cooling rack, which is so convenient when baking a large number of cookies or muffins,” says Carol Borchardt, a personal chef and recipe developer. A collapsible cooking rack gets the job done more efficiently, and this one by Wilton can cool or store up to 36 cookies at a time. If you’re trying to cool multiple batches of cookies, your cooling rack will fill up quickly. You’d be surprised how much space a dozen cookies can take up. Oven Safe: Yes | Material: Stainless steel | Dimensions: 16.92 x 11.93 x 4.5 inches Note that some users think this cooling rack could be improved by adding rubber feet to the legs to stop it from sliding on the counter. ![]() But most importantly, the height is a great option for cooling multiple loaves of bread at once. When stacked, the space in-between the racks is about 4.5 inches tall, much larger than many tiered cooling racks, so you’re less likely to run into issues maneuvering your hands, cooking utensils, and baked goods in-between the racks. If you like the idea of a multi-tier cooling rack but don’t always need all the space, this model is stackable when you purchase multiple units. It’s oven-safe up to 575 degrees and has foldable legs-when tucked, the entire thing fits neatly in a half-sheet baking pan. It has a tight grid to prevent food from falling through and provides a sturdy base for heavy loaves of bread. If you’re unhappy with your current cooling rack due to these limitations, this one by Hamilton Housewares may be the one for you. Bakers often complain that food falls through the gaps, can’t be used in the oven, and don’t fit into standard baking pans. This cooling rack was designed to resolve a lot of the common issues that other models have. Whatever rack you choose, it will be a welcome addition to your kitchen arsenal, guaranteeing crispy fried chicken and loaves of bread that maintain their crackle-crust outside and pillowy inside. Some models are constructed with even heating convection materials, while others offer lifetime rust resistance. Most have grids to keep your food secure and not slipping through the cracks, but ladder styles are out there if you're looking to roast meat and want fewer crosshatch impressions. There are a number of choices on the market when it comes to cooling racks, from nonstick coated to oven safe. A cooling rack affords air circulation it elevates your food from becoming a soggy mess on the pan and allows steam to escape, preventing food from getting limp. Many are versatile and can pass from high-heat ovens to cool shelves ensuring roasted veggies aren't oil-soaked, but crispy, and fresh-baked cookies are gooey on the inside with a satisfying crunch on the outside. A cooling rack is one of those kitchen tools that people don't always consider a necessity, but once they own one, you wonder why it took them so long. ![]()
