Little Chill

Most wire racks come coated with nothing, so caramelized sugar and bacon grease bond straight to the metal. This cooling rack borrows the ceramic nonstick coating from Great Jones cookware and applies it to a quarter-sheet-sized wire grid. You get the airflow that cools baked goods evenly and the lift that keeps fried chicken crisp, but cleanup is a single swipe with a soapy sponge instead of ten minutes of scrubbing crevices.

The dimensions match quarter sheet pans, so if you already own one this rack nests inside it while your cookies cool or your bacon drains. The wire spacing is tight enough that smaller items like shortbread bars or chicken tenders rest flat without tipping. When you're done, the nonstick surface releases stuck-on sugar and grease with lukewarm water, no soaking required.

Available in four colors that coordinate with the rest of the Great Jones bakeware line. Sold as a pair or bundled with a matching quarter sheet pan. The nonstick coating stands up to repeated use with baked goods, roasted vegetables, and fried foods, though metal utensils will eventually wear through the finish if you scrape hard enough.

You can use it for cooling cookies, draining fried foods, or roasting anything that benefits from air circulation underneath. The compact size stores easily in a drawer or cabinet, and because it fits inside its matching pan you're not hunting for a second storage spot.
