Cooling rack METALTEX Draht-Tortenkühler model 201632000 wire epoxy, diameter 320 mm, fine mesh, grey

The METALTEX Draht-Tortenkühler model 201632000 is a round cooling rack with a 320 mm diameter and a fine-mesh wire grid finished in grey epoxy. Designed to support cakes, pastries and other baked goods, its close wire spacing promotes even air circulation and faster cooling. The epoxy coating provides resistance to corrosion and minor kitchen wear, making the rack suitable for regular home-baking use and small-scale pastry tasks.

Advantages

The fine mesh design prevents small baked items from sagging between wires and allows air to circulate beneath products for uniform cooling. The wire construction keeps the rack lightweight while maintaining structural stability for typical home-baked cakes and pastries. The epoxy coating adds surface protection against moisture and everyday contact, and the round shape with open edges makes it easy to place and remove baked items.

Suitable for

• Cooling cakes, tarts and cookies after baking
• Allowing pastries to rest while glazes or frostings set
• Use as a trivet for draining or holding baked goods
• Small-scale home baking and pastry projects

When it may not be suitable

This cooling rack is sized for small to medium cakes and standard home-bakery portions; very large or commercial baking trays may not fit comfortably. The fine wire mesh is durable for normal domestic use but may not be intended for heavy industrial loads or repeated use in professional high-volume bakeries.

Key specifications

• Shape: round
• Diameter: 320 mm
• Construction: fine-mesh wire grid
• Surface finish: epoxy coating
• Colour: grey
• Intended use: cooling and supporting baked goods

How to use

Place the cooling rack on a flat, heat-resistant surface. After removing cakes or pastries from the oven, transfer them carefully onto the mesh so air can circulate around the product for even cooling. Use the rack to rest items while glazes or frostings set. When using as a trivet or for draining, position it over a sink or tray to collect drips.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 320 mm diameter fits the sizes of your baking pans or cooling space.
• Consider whether a fine-mesh grid suits the types of pastries you make (prevents sagging of small items).
• Epoxy finish provides corrosion resistance but avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the coating.

Usage recommendations

Clean the rack by hand with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge to preserve the epoxy finish; allow it to dry fully before storage. Do not use harsh scouring pads or aggressive chemicals. For best results, handle hot items with oven mitts and avoid overloading the mesh beyond typical domestic cake sizes.
