A rectangular grid made of chrome plated wire with "formed feet" that raise it above the countertop. Cooling racks are used to cool the bread, other baked items when they come out of the hot oven. Yeast breads are removed from the pans and onto the rack as soon as they come out of the oven to prevent a soggy crust.

A flat grid of closely spaced metal wires resting on small feet; used for cooling baked goods by allowing air to circulate around the food.
