Cooling & glazing racks

A cooling rack lets freshly baked bread, cakes and biscuits cool on all sides without moisture building up underneath. The same rack doubles as a glazing rack when you glaze cakes, cake pops or chocolates: the excess glaze drips off and the surface turns smooth. Here you will find round, rectangular, stackable and folding racks.

Which racks do we offer?

• Rectangular: the cooling rack 36 x 26 cm and the Wilton cooling rack 40 x 25 cm – great for tray bakes and lots of biscuits at once.
• Round: the cooling rack Ø 32 cm and the stainless steel rack Ø 32 cm, ideal for cakes and round loaves.
• Stainless steel: alongside the round version, a further stainless steel rack.
• Space-saving: the stackable cooling racks, set of 3, and the folding rack with feet.

Tips from our bakery

Cooling bread and cakes: take your bake out of the tin or off the tray as soon as you can and place it on the rack. The crust stays crisp and the base does not turn soggy. You will find oven essentials under baking trays and baking paper.

Glazing: set the rack on a tray or board and place the well-chilled cake on top. Pour the glaze quickly from the centre outwards and let it run off. The glaze collected on the tray can often be reused. For an example with a mirror glaze, see our recipe cherries with mirror glaze.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a cooling rack and a glazing rack?

Usually none – it is the same rack with two jobs. For glazing, a rack on feet or raised up is handy, as the glaze can drip off freely.

Which rack for cakes?

For round cakes, the Ø 32 cm racks are a good fit. More equipment is waiting among our cake aids and all our baking aids.
