Why this bakery accessorie earns its place
This compact grate is the practical size for bakeries that need to cool smaller runs—a batch of éclairs, a half-sheet of macarons, individual cakes, or plated desserts. At 400×300mm, it's small enough to move quickly between oven and cooling space, but substantial enough that you're not working in single-item quantities. The minimal feet keep everything elevated for air circulation, preventing the common problem of condensation ruins that kill delicate pastry.
At just 0.238 kg, this grate is genuinely portable. You can handle it one-handed, position it in tight spaces, or nest multiple grids for efficient storage. Matfer Bourgeat's stainless steel doesn't flex or warp, so you can trust it not to sag even when layered with hot product. It's a workhorse for precision work—the kind of detail that matters when you're cooling things that need to stay pristine.
This is the grate that lives at the bench or cooling station in a professional kitchen. Fast cooling, no mess, and it folds neatly into your storage when you're done. It's the size that professional bakers choose for everyday work.
