1. Prepare the Cooling Rack Before you start baking, ensure your cooling rack is clean and dry. Place it on a flat surface away from direct sunlight or drafts, which can affect the cooling process.
Furthermore, half sheet tray racks promote optimal airflow, which can aid in cooling freshly baked goods. When cookies or pastries are taken out of the oven, placing them on a rack ensures that air circulates around all sides, preventing sogginess and resulting in perfectly textured treats.
