Buying guide

Wire cooling racks keep fried kakiage and tempura crisp — air circulates under the crust instead of trapping steam like paper towels.

Budget pick: a half-sheet stainless rack that fits over a rimmed baking pan.

Premium pick: heavy-gauge grid with feet tall enough to clear pooling oil.

A plate lined with paper works in a pinch; the fritter softens within a minute.

Care

Wash with hot soapy water after frying — oil film attracts dust. Dry every wire so the rack does not rust. Store flat or hanging; bent feet wobble over sheet pans.
