Sourdough Cooling Rack — Heavy-Duty 17×11×3 in Elevated Wire Rack
Product description
Designed specifically with sourdough cooling in mind, this rack helps breads finish properly by encouraging air to pass beneath and around the loaf so the crust stays crackly and the crumb sets evenly.
Constructed from food-safe, heat-resistant metal, the rack is built to keep its form when hot bakes are placed on it. The open wire grid and raised feet allow unrestricted airflow, which prevents moisture from pooling under the bread and reduces the chance of soggy bottoms or uneven texture.
Measuring 17×11×3 inches, the generous surface accommodates sourdough boules, bâtards, artisan loaves, and assorted baked goods while keeping them elevated during the cool-down phase. One piece is included in the package, ready to use out of the box.
A straightforward, useful tool for anyone who bakes at home — practical for everyday use and a handy gift for sourdough enthusiasts and home bakers looking to improve cooling and crust quality.

VerdictThis elevated wire rack is a straightforward, effective tool for cooling sourdough and other baked goods.

The 17×11×3 inch footprint suits most homemade loaves, cookies, and pastries. It’s a practical add-on to a home baker’s ki

Good, but one leg was off
Generally a useful rack, but one leg didn’t open fully out of the box and can sometimes fold in. Easy to clean for loaves, though tiny gaps can be fiddly if something gets messy.

Finally a place for my sourdough
It’s a cooling rack that actually cools things. My loaves finish nicely and I like that it tucks away for storage.

Brings baked goods down to temp
Seriously, it cools whatever you set on it. No clue how, but hot things get cooler and my bread keeps its crust. Works exactly as you'd want.

A must if you bake often
Easy to set up and handy for bread or cookies. It’s on the thinner side but fine for home use—about 24 cookies fit. Quick spray cleans it up.
