Overview
KITALWARE Stainless Steel Cooling Racks are Gastronorm-dimensioned wire grids engineered for the demanding environment of professional bakeries, central kitchens and pastry operations. Each rack is fabricated from food-grade stainless steel wire, uniformly spaced and fusion-welded at every intersection to create a rigid flat plane capable of supporting heavy loads of hot-baked breads, roasted meats, fried items and glazed pastries without sagging or warping.
The range covers five standard GN footprints — 1/1 (530×325 mm), 1/2 (325×265 mm), 1/3 (325×176 mm), 1/4 (265×162 mm) and 2/3 (353×325 mm) — each with a consistent 45 mm height that provides adequate clearance beneath for air circulation while remaining stable on any flat work surface or inside a GN-compatible refrigerated counter. As a direct manufacturer, KITALWARE offers competitive unit pricing with low MOQ suitable for both individual kitchen restocks and equipment distributor inventory programmes.
Key Features
- Five GN sizes available — 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 2/3; matches standard Gastronorm pan footprint exactly
- Fusion-welded wire construction — every wire intersection is welded for maximum rigidity; will not loosen like spot-welded alternatives
- 45 mm height profile — provides generous under-rack airflow for rapid cooling without excessive stack height
- Dishwasher and oven safe — withstands commercial dishwashers, autoclaves and moderate oven temperatures (up to 200°C)
- Non-reactive stainless steel — won’t transfer metallic taste or react with acidic glazes, marinades or brines
- Stackable design — nests within same-size racks for compact storage when not in active use

Applications
- Bakery cooling lines — allowing fresh-baked breads, rolls and pastries to cool evenly before packaging
- Roast meat resting — elevating roasted proteins off the carving board so juices don’t pool underneath
- Fried item draining — excess oil/fat drips away from tempura, spring rolls, samosas and fritters
- Candy and confectionery — providing air circulation beneath setting chocolates, caramels and fondant
- Smoked product drying — elevated wire mesh promotes even air exposure during cold-smoking cycles
- Combi-oven use — placing beneath items being cooked to promote bottom crisping and prevent sogginess

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the weight capacity of each rack size?
A: The 1/1 size supports approximately 20 kg static load; smaller sizes scale proportionally. Dynamic loads (dropping heavy items from height) are not recommended as they can cause permanent deformation regardless of rated capacity.
Q: Can these be used directly inside an oven?
A: Yes — the racks are rated for continuous use up to 200°C, which covers most baking, roasting and proofing applications. Avoid direct contact with open flame elements or temperatures exceeding 250°C which may cause discoloration.
Q: How do I clean between the wires effectively?
A: For routine cleaning, place the rack in a commercial dishwasher positioned at an angle to allow water spray to reach all surfaces. For stubborn baked-on residue, soak in warm water with mild detergent then brush gently with a nylon brush along the wire direction.
Q: Are custom wire spacings available?
A: Yes — KITALWARE can fabricate cooling racks with tighter or wider wire spacing to special order. Common custom requests include fine-mesh for small items (cookies, macarons) and wide-gap for large loaves. Contact us with your target specifications.
