Stove Burners as a Cooling Rack

When you need a cooling rack for a baking sheet full of cookies or a cake pan just removed from the oven, remove one of your stoves burner grills (mine are black cast iron and removable for cleaning, etc) and set it on the counter top to set the cooling pan on top of it, so air can circulate beneath it.

When it's cool enough just replace it on the stove and your food is cool; no cooling rack taking up extra space; your cooling rack is invisible, in service on your stove top and always available if you need a cooling rack.
