Furthermore, half sheet tray racks promote optimal airflow, which can aid in cooling freshly baked goods. When cookies or pastries are taken out of the oven, placing them on a rack ensures that air circulates around all sides, preventing sogginess and resulting in perfectly textured treats.
A cake cooking rack, often made from metal, features a grid-like design that allows for optimal air circulation around the baked items. This is especially important after removing a cake from the oven. Placing a hot cake directly on a solid surface can lead to soggy bottoms due to the steam that accumulates underneath. With a cake rack, air can flow freely, allowing moisture to escape and helping the cake maintain its ideal light and fluffy texture.
On your Kong, it’s as easy to keep a perfect 225º for a pork shoulder as it is to stoke up a lively 450º for burgers. Ceramic grills also retain moisture incredibly well, so you can bid a not-so-fond farewell to dried-out meats. (Just be sure to keep the lid closed!) See our guide to grill temperature control for more tips.
We also offer a ceramic split diffuser for crazy-easy two-zone cooking on the Kong! This heavy-duty two-piece diffuser is a chef’s secret weapon for setting up multiple heat zones inside a grill. From one-grill meals that feed the whole gang to tasty techniques like reverse searing, a split diffuser opens the door to tons of options that will fuel your creativity.
