I would have thought that is a pretty minimal requirement. Where else would you put something you take out of the oven.
I assume anything that can go in the oven can go from oven to table and fridge (but maybe not freezer) to hot oven.
- HPsquared 1y agoOne of those cooling racks where it's not making full contact.
- ghaff 1y agoIt’s a bigger deal with baking brownies but putting a lasagna on a cooling rack before putting it on your dining room table even with hot pad in probably a good idea.

- graemep 1y agoThat is what trivets and mats are for.
- graemep 1y agoDo not have one of those! I want to keep hit food hot!
- ewoodrich 1y agoI don't think it changes the rate of cooling that much, just more of the the heat is transferred by convection to the surrounding air instead of conduction to the surface (which for a stone countertop has a lot of mass to absorb heat making them notorious for blowing up hot glassware on contact).
- fibonachos 1y ago> free heat that we couldn’t control I understand the appeal of free. It’s the idea of someone else controlling it that gives me anxiety.

- 2muchcoffeeman 1y agoA cooling rack is not a heat sink. It’s a place to put hot things because not all surfaces are heat resistant up to cooking temperatures and not all hot vessels can be dumped on a cold or potentially wet surface.
- KPGv2 1y ago> Where else would you put something you take out of the oven [other than a cold surface?] A room-temperature surface. The only cold surfaces in my house are in my freezer and refrigerator.

- avidphantasm 1y agoWe once had a glass baking pan EXPLODE!!! after being taken out of the oven and placed on a cold stovetop, but with the window open in early December. (We lived in an apartment that had free heat that we couldn’t control so we often had to open the kitchen window when baking during heating season.)
