Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Part of Wilton's quality Excelle Elite bakeware line, this three-tier cooling rack provides a safe place for fresh-out-of-the-oven desserts to settle while also fulfilling another popular baker's demand-space efficiency. The stackable grids each measure a generous 15-7/8 inches by 9-7/8 inches and can be used together for big jobs or taken apart when only one or two are needed. Crafted with narrowly spaced steel wires, the grids securely hold even small items without letting them slip through the cracks while allowing air to flow around food freely. The nonstick coating also releases food smoothly and cleans easily in the dishwasher. With wide-set, stable legs, this cooling rack stands strong even under heavy items, yet is easily collapsible for flat storage in between baking sessions. Simple, reliable, and effective, the rack is an essential member of any kitchen. --Kara Karll

I purchased 2 of these for the wife last year at different times, and a year later we finally got to use them. Please be aware, that the reviews here may NOT be for the same exact product, hence the difference in opinions by some people.
While the two racks are essentially similiar, it appears that the manufacturer drastically cut back on their cost and quailty of the racks. The earlier model has the steel bars MUCH thicker than the newer models, with an additional support along the side edge. Even the collapsable legs are so much thinner and bend more than the older version.
The old one with the thicker steel is built like a tank, and can hold quite a bit of weight. I would not hesitate to put heavy pies on them ... not so for the newer model. For cookies both are adequate and are definitely a space saver. When you fill up one, just put another one on top.
The thicker steel one definitely gets a 5 star rating. The thinner one, a 4 star rating for cookies, and less if you are thinking of putting something heavy like a pie on them.
The legs are extremely stable for the old one, a bit more flimsy for the newer one, and you can definitely see the deflection difference in the racks when you apply some weight on them.
For the below reviewer that had collapsing problems, while we had no collapsing problems, I can see how the thinner one can do so, especially after it distorts some with use.
I like the product a lot, but am extremely disappointed that the manufacturer cheapened a great product to save some money, rather than raising the price some. And it wasn't just the thinner material, it was additional cross members that were removed. Let's see ... use thinner material AND reduce the number of supporting cross members. Draw your own conclusions here, but I for one am sick and tired of so many newer versions of products being made so much cheaper than the ones they have replaced ... CorningWare, Pyrex, Wilton, Farberware, etc ... all now producing junk as compared to what I was able to purchase 10-30 years ago.

I bake a lot, especially cookies. I have always had terrible problems while trying to find enough space to place the traditional cookie racks.
These are the best idea ever, for a baker. I have 4 sets. I just finished baking Christmas cookies, 200-300 at a time. I have had the racks full of cookies , and stacked 6 high. Then I picked -up the entire stack, and placed it on a different counter.
What a miracle! The racks are strong, strong, strong, and I have have had absolutely No problems with them bending or toppling. Even at 6-7 racks stacked on top of each other.
I HIGHLY recommend these. The price is exceptional, and the quality is very good. I plan on buying 3 more sets, plus sets for family members.

The title pretty much says it all-- I have found the racks to be very useful.
Mostly I only need 1 rack, which can be set up with the legs either collapsed (about 1 cm of counter clearance) or extended (about 2 inches). The rack is sturdy, and the nonstick coating is of good quality. I have not yet used it for a 3-layer cake, but I imagine it would hold up quite well.
I saw many other racks that were flimsy and bent under their own weight when I was just holding them by one end. These racks can be lifted as you would a cookie sheet, with no fear of the rack buckling and depositing your baked goods on the floor.
The molded feet limit sliding when the racks are stacked; when folded flat they fit easily into a drawer or go into the dishwasher for cleanup. This is an excellent buy, I can't imagine you could ask any more from a simple cooling rack.

Lame
This product is a good idea but the execution is very poor. The legs collapse for easy storage, but also collapse inadvertently while you are trying to do just about anything... Read more

They do what they are meant for
Don't expect high quality, fancy racks, but they do what they are meant for. You can stack them with no issues, and they hold tons of cookies or muffins. Read more

exactly as described
Nice Product, it is a part of 3 frames, so can pile it up or can pile them separately.
Totally worth it, shipped in time.

Wilton, really?
Sadly this product does not deserve the Wilton name. I totally expected more from this company. The $10 price is ok for this product, but expect these to be VERY flimsy. Read more

Wilton 3-tier cooling rack
I have a small kitchen and without a lot of counter space, these racks are very handy. They fold down for storage so for me, they are very convenient.

Great space saver
Prior to purchasing these I had one large flat cookie rack, the problem being that I didn't have enough room to cool down more than 10-12 cookies at once. Read more
