The Solution to Soggy Cookies and Other Baked Products

A great amount of effort and precision is exerted in ensuring the perfection of your baked goods. Key to this perfection is the level of crispness that establishes the freshness of the product, also adding a textural dimension that keeps customers satisfied.

 

However, every now and then, baked goods may come out less than perfect, with soggy bottoms or soft sides.

 

The good news is that there is a resolution to this baking problem. There is a baking tool that promotes air circulation, allowing baked goods to rest in a comfortable environment so that they cool down appropriately: baking racks. These pieces of low-tech baking equipment appear uninteresting but they actually serve one of the most important baking functions, which is to allow cookies, muffins, cakes, and other baked goods to cool at the right temperature.

 

The idea behind baking racks is that when you have just taken your baked goods out of the oven, they are still releasing steam that condenses and sticks to your hot food if it does not have anywhere else to go to. However, if you place those freshly baked goodies on the cooling racks, you are allowing them to cool off properly because there is enough air circulating around them, preventing them from getting soggy due to residual steam. Baking racks are so useful that without them, cookies and other baked products would not be perfect as they should be.

 

The best thing about these racks is that they are inexpensive and easy to use. You can get them in bulk without breaking the bank, thus dramatically improving your bakery’s performance without splurging too much on fancy machinery. Keep in mind that there is no standard size and so you can get the sizing customized to fit your needs. Call D&V Plastics today to learn more about our products!
