Know before you buy
Yes, the 12" x 17" dimensions are specifically designed to fit standard half-size sheet pans, allowing it to sit securely inside for roasting or glazing tasks.
No, this rack is not rated for oven use. It is intended strictly for cooling baked goods or resting food after it has been removed from the oven.
While the 301 stainless steel is durable and rust-resistant, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the finish.
No, this rack features a bare stainless steel surface without any nonstick coatings. This makes it highly durable and resistant to peeling or flaking over time.
The fixed feet elevate the rack off your countertop, which promotes 360-degree airflow around your baked goods. This prevents steam from being trapped underneath, ensuring your pastries cool evenly without getting soggy.
