A device designed to support and elevate baking surfaces used for preparing circular flatbreads with toppings. These implements facilitate safe and convenient handling of hot cookware, prevent direct contact between the heated surface and countertops, and often allow for efficient cooling of the prepared food item after removal from the oven. Examples range from simple wire racks to more elaborate tiered structures capable of holding multiple items simultaneously.
The utilization of such support mechanisms is critical in both domestic and commercial kitchens. They contribute to improved workflow efficiency by freeing up counter space and reducing the risk of burns or damage to surfaces. Historically, improvised solutions like folded towels or trivets were employed, but specialized designs offer greater stability and heat dissipation, leading to enhanced safety and food quality.
