Drying racks

[gunner]

Does anyone use the metal, stackable drying racks, or something similar? I was wondering if they leave wire-marks since the soap is somewhat soft after unmolding?

I use stainless steel baking racks. If the metal is aluminum, it could react with your soap.

I use a large metal rack, but I put cardboard on each shelf for my soap to sit on.

I bought Cambro fast food trays. They're easy to clean, lightweight and sturdy. They don't react with my soap and they fit nicely in my Gorm shelves.

I use stackable, coated, cooling racks made by Pampered Chef. I now have enough of them to cure eighteen 2.5 lb. batches of soap at a time. Just the other day, though, I was browsing about on the GardenSupplyStore website and noticed these beauties and thought they'd make great curing racks:

They have them in different sizes- 3, 6 or 9 drawer.

Those look interesting, albeit a little pricey.

So none of you have problems with rack marks on the soap?

wow, those orchard racks are beautiful and in fact save you a lot of space! Maybe I'll consider them when I start a more consistent production of soap... thanks for the tip!

I'm a newbie and use metal racks and have not had a problem.

I use bakers' bun racks. It has 20 shelves, each holds 144 bars of soap.

Like this: http://www.therdstore.com/page/IFSES/PROD/401AC They have gone up in price since I purchased mind. You have to buy the sheet pans separately. I like that it rolls around. I line the pans with parchment paper pan liners.

I use drying trays from SoapEquipment.com. They leave no marks on the soap. They are on the pricey side. I was fortunate enough to know someone getting out of soap making and bought theirs.

The great thing about these drying racks is the base is on casters so you can move the whole stack where ever you want it.
