Wire racks hold a position of power in our kitchen cabinets.
. Although this task can be accomplished with any size rimmed baking sheet and rack, keeping smaller ones around for smaller portions of meat takes up less space and makes for easier clean up. The wire rack allows for air circulation and evenly rested meat, while any drippings will be caught in the rimmed baking sheet below, rather than dribbling off your cutting board.
Nothing wicks excess grease away from fried foods like paper towels, but after the initial blot it’s best to transfer fried items to a wire rack to prevent them from sitting in a pool of their own oil. Larger fried items liketend to steam after cooking, causing the crust to quickly grow soggy. By resting hot fried food spaced out on a rack rather than piled together on a plate, they can get the airflow they need to drive away the steam and stay crunchy.
Even though I may never come to own an indoor pizza oven or fully automatic floor-model Carpigiani batch ice cream maker, at least I can supply my kitchen with stacks on stacks of rimmed baking sheets with matching wire racks. There’s room for a few in any kitchen, and I reach for them every day without a second thought.
