Question: Is a baking rack and cooling rack the same thing?

What is a baking rack used for?

A kitchen utensil that is used for placing cooked foods onto a surface that will enable the food to be cooled on all sides after being baked, either food still in a hot pan or food removed from a baking sheet or pan and placed directly onto the rack.

Can wire rack go in oven?

You can place your oven-safe wire cooling rack directly on top of a sheet pan for perfectly cooked dishes, similar to how you’d use a roasting rack.

Why do my cakes stick to the cooling rack?

Cake layers that cool in the pan too long will stick unless lined with parchment paper. If your cake has cooled in pan and was greased with shortening & flour, this will cause the cake layers to stick in cake pans.
