Cooling Racks for Home Made Bread

Imperative to Delicious Homemade Bread

Wire racks are essential to successful bread-making after they come out of the oven and pan.

Due to the high temperature at baking, bread continues to 'cook' even though it is removed from the oven.

Taking bread out of the pan and onto a wire rack ensures that cooling air can flow evenly around the loaf and prevents the loaf from over cooking.

Wire racks also prevent soggy bottoms. If you've ever had bread that was dry and tough on top of the slice, but almost wet at the bottom, you know what I mean.

Furthermore, cooks who leave their bread in the pan, placed on top of a hot oven, will find that their bottoms are easily burnt.

If you're going to spend all that time kneading and mixing and waiting for consecutive risings, you might as well finish the job right and invest in a large wire rack.

Where to Buy Wire Racks

Because wire racks are lightweight, they're easy and inexpensive to ship. Some models even fold up and fit nicely in a drawer - perfect for those of us with small kitchens or limited space.

I buy mine online. I'm often shopping for friends and students at the same time so when I find good racks I buy them in bulk. You should be able to find some really great deals in all shapes and sizes from the listing below.
