cooling rack

Post-oven resting place

A cooling rack is a wire grid elevated on short legs, used in baking to let air circulate around freshly baked goods as they cool.

Without it, residual heat trapped beneath causes condensation, making bottoms soggy.

Let the cookies rest on a cooling rack for ten minutes.
