Checkered Chef Cooling Rack vs Wilton Everyday Chrome-Plated Cooling Grid

Buy the Checkered Chef set if you want two racks, dishwasher cleaning and high-heat use under the broiler. Buy the Wilton grid if you want one larger rack for big batches of cookies and cakes. The Checkered Chef is stainless steel and rated to 575°F in the oven and 500°F overall, so it handles broiler and roasting duty the Wilton's chrome-plated steel does not claim. The Wilton is the bigger single surface at 10 x 16 inches and has a strong owner rating, but its grid is one piece and its chrome plating needs hand care to stay bright.

• Choose the Checkered Chef if you want two stainless racks that go in the dishwasher and take broiler heat.
• Choose the Wilton if you want one wide grid for cooling full sheets of cookies and cakes.
