Advantages: price, useful product, easy to clean
Disadvantages: none
Cooling racks are a great item to have in your kitchen and are especially good for when you make cakes or biscuits.
This Farringdon cooling rack is quite simple to use and is of good quality.
It is built of meshed wires which allow the cakes/biscuits to cool gently and air is able to circulate more rather than it being placed on a plastic tray.
The cooling rack has 4 little feet which enable it to stand and so it is raised from the worktop.
This would work much better than keeping the cakes or biscuits in the tray or cake tin they they were baked in.
Cleaning the cooling rack is pretty straight forward and easy and it can be cleaned with a damp cloth or using washing up liquid with no problems. I'm not sure if it can go in a dishwasher as I never paid attention to the label it came with but it doesn't take me long to clean by hand so it doesn't make much difference to me.
I bought my cooling rack from a local home store but i'm sure it would be available to purchase online on sites like amazon/ebay. I managed to get mine for around £3-£4 which is a decent price.
I can't say I use mine that much, but it does come in very handy for when you are doing baking.
It can be used for a range of foods and not just cakes - basically anything you would want to cool down after baking (that isn't liquid!).
I give the cooling rack 5 stars and can't fault it.
Basic but it's all you need and at a cheap enough price!
Thanks for reading :)
