Side by Side Comparison of: Baker's Secret vs Toaster Ovenware

I've been needing these for so long. They are great, works well for fried chicken, French fries and all kinds of other things. I like my food crispy so these are a must have. They seem like a non stick surface, they're the perfect size.

I bought this for the oven and for cooling items. So far I have tested this for 50 mins in the oven at 400 degrees, I was cooking pig skins. It was easy to clean none of the nonstick coating came off, now my kitchen was smoky but when your cooking pig skins the grease melts off and creates smoke plus I spilled some of the grease in the stove. Will try oven fried chicken and french fries next.

These are simple yet effective baking racks that come in a 2 pack, dimensions as described 10X16 inches. The thing I love about them is that they are coated in a black Nonstick texture that won't tarnish or rust like the baking rack I am replacing! They sit fairly low to the counter, which isn't a problem or anything just more of an FYI. Perfect for what I need them for and easy to store!

These are perfect. The only wire cooling racks I had were the ones without the cross bars so cookies would fall through and they were flimsy. These are sturdy and have the perfect sized openings. I also like that they are coated so no rusting.

These are very nice while being inexpensive. As someone who has always had to create makeshift cooling racks, this was a pleasant oddity. Made cooling and decorating doughnuts a breeze. I noted in other reviews that these are rusting problems, so I've been careful to simply wipe them down with a cloth and then thoroughly dry- has worked fine so far. I'm also very happy to note that they fit well over pans and baking dishes, which makes cleaning up much simple afterwards

I am not using it for cooling my baked goods. I'm using it to air out my cold-process soap, so that it will cure faster. For that purpose, these racks are great. They fit in my drawer perfectly and because they are cross-hatched, I don't get weird indentations in my soap bars. I'd imagine the opinion would be the same for people cooling cookies or other goods that don't cool in a pan. Instead of seeing the cookie sink between a single bar rack, I know the cookie would be kept level and cool more evenly, as well. Price-wise, this is a great rack and does all it says it will. In fact, I ordered my second set today!

Great for cooling muffins, scones, and other baked goods. They dip a little in the middle, but there's still enough clearance to air cool your treats. That's what they do. Nothing else. If you're looking for something other than a non-stick rack to cool your baked goods after they've been removed from the oven ... look elsewhere.

For what it is, a cooling rack, it's good. Not flimsy, but not really sturdy - you don't really need sturdy for cookies or other baked goodies. Just used both last night baking a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies - each easily fits a dozen and you could possible squeeze on there 15 regular sized cookies on there. Could easily do a 9 inch circular cake on each. The nonstick coating makes cleaning a breeze. The reason I am only giving it 4 stars is that one seems to have an ever so slight dip in the middle - like I said, not the most sturdy in build, but that doesn't prevent it from cooling a batch of cookies.

These wire racks are great! They're light, easy to stack and store, and easy to clean because of they're nonstick coatings. I use them for baking all the time. They are durable and I haven't had any issues with the nonstick coating peeling off, and I am sure these will last quite some time. The only drawback I've found to them so far is that the wires in the frame are a bit thin and it's easy for them to bend. As such, it's only been a month or so since I got them and they're bowing inwards slightly. I can bend them back but they don't always stay that way and I do not want to break them. It hasn't caused any problems, but it can be a bit tricky if it makes things like muffins fall over sometimes.

I like these racks, as they're very affordable and nonstick. Although it's kind of a nuisance to hand-wash them - I'm afraid to wash them in the dishwasher based on others' reviews. Also, while not a huge downfall to the product, they're not super sturdy. I stacked a heavy pan on top of one rack once, and now the middle of the rack is "sinking" a little. But since they're meant for cakes and cookies and other lightweight items, this shouldn't be a problem. Just be mindful of what you stack on them!

So far, so good.PROS: cheaper than any seen in a store; more surface area than a comparable, more expensive set; tight weave so baked goods don't fall through cracks; non-stickCONS: lighter than other cooling racks I've used, so it feels cheap (but it still does the job); non-stick coating requires hand-washing and drying, no dishwasher, unfortunately.I am aware of the *rust* issue, so I will update this review if that happens, taking care of the non-stick surface by hand washing and drying. No update since 9/2015 means they have held up so far.

Never having had a cooling rack before, I wasn't prepared for the task of cleaning it afterward. All those fiddly little wire squares are a hassle to clean in a sink; and I don't have a dishwasher. Even with the great coating on the wires, it is still a chore requiring infinite patience.However, other than that, the rack is plenty heavy enough to take whatever I have thrown at it so far. I am pleased with it, outside of the work I have to do cleaning it. I think I will be using a lot of paper towels, or even aluminium foil to cut my work load, even if it does lengthen colling time.

Not super impressed with these.Not quite big enough to go edge to edge on a half sheet pan, and kind of flimsy. Both of them have warped a little after just a few uses and kind of rock.

These racks came as expected, but are already rusting after 2 months. In addition to using them to cool cookies, I use them to "grill" meat in the oven, placing the meat on the rack and the rack over a casserole dish or cookie sheet.

The metal it's self is thinner than I expected. Also, poor shipping packaging. Both racks bow inward. I

These appear to be good quality however, the holes are on the big side. Some cookies I make are smaller and these definitely won't hold them well - they would fall apart on these.. Only for big sized cookies.

Baker's Secret 1061483 10-by-16-Inch Nonstick Cooling Rack, Set of 2 ReviewThese are your standard cooling racks. They still bend a little in the middle with anything to heavy on them. I'm still happy with them as i only use them for overflow or cookies that aren't heavy. Coated in black they are easy to clean in the sink.

Needed some additional baker's cooling racks and purchased these. They were listed under Frequently Bought Together so I just added them to my cart when I was buying some baking sheets. Big mistake. These are flimsy and coated with a black plastic material. They have a grid pattern which is more difficult to clean. Don't think these will last long, but i dont want the hassle of returning them. Oh, well.

fine for cooling rack, but i assumed that if it was non-stick that would mean you could cook on it too. The literature that came with it made it clear you can't cook on it, since it isn't oven safe. This was misleading. What would require non-stick surface if it wan't being cooked on?

inexpensive kitchen gear, these fit the bill .they will work for cookies, anything heavier like fried chicken it bucks in.

bit flimsy

I am disappointed in this purchase. I did receive this in a timely fashion but my problem is that these have rusted after cleaning them once. I also have the problem where these are slightly warped, I do not think that was due to shipping since they arrived safely in an undamaged box.

I have used these now for a few months. These cool cookies great, but anything heavier than that is worthless. They sag whenever I put loaves of bread on them. They sag and bounce and sag, they're unstable with their tiny legs. If I had known this a when I was looking for a cooling rack, I would have splurged for something I could use in the oven and is sturdy. If you want something cheap for cookies and croissants, go ahead. Anything else, look elsewhere.

These are so cheap that they buckle almost down to the counter in the middle when you have anything on them-- but what else do you expect for $8. If you need something for a one-off baking project these are fine, but if you want to invest in your baking tools then spend a bit more.

I received my racks today, they are not chrome as written in the description, but black coated metal of somekind. The grid is damaged on one side, not attached on one of the outside edges. These probably won't see much use.

rusted after a week, not at all non-stick

You get what you pay for! When you read the product information on the label, you discover that, yes, they are"cooling racks", but only if what you are cooling is not too hot. No hot dishes or pans, not to be used as a trivet, not to be used in any kind of oven, or any kind of cooking. Light weight, coated, hand wash. I would have returned them if it hadn't cost more than they were worth.

I am sure this is adequate for cooling a few cookies but they are very lightweight and flimsy. I briefly rested a pan of lasagna out of the oven on one for a few seconds while transferring it to a large wooden cutting board and the entire rack warped. It melted into waves and bent. I did put my freshly baked cookies on it a few minutes later so it was fine for that.

I did not like the painted surface of these racks and opted for the more common chrome racks. I honestly didn't wait for these to rust or peel as many had reported, but returned them.

I used and washed them, in accordance to the manufacturer's instructions, only a few times before they began to peel. I thought what I was seeing was dirt, but it was actually the metal underneath the black coating.I'm sure they might have been fine for most users, they get a very high rating, but I wouldn't buy these again.
