few stray crumbs. Be sure the machine is unplugged before you do anything
around the element.
A wire cooling rack. For proper cooling, it is important that a loaf be placed on a
rack that allows air to circulate all around the loaf. There are stainless steel racks,
nonstick racks, and even old-fashioned wooden racks for purists. Racks may be
round or rectangular, small or large. I like a nice 12-by-16-inch stainless steel
cooling rack, but I keep a variety of sizes for all sorts of loaves.
A long-bladed serrated bread knife. Don’t ever consider using anything without
a serrated edge for slicing: otherwise your bread will tear mercilessly. All brands
of knives include one in their collections. If you can, wait until the bread cools be-
fore slicing. Use gentle pressure with a back-and-forth motion.
