Product Description

Cook It Your Way!
holiday baking and grilling for desserts or meats with family in kitchen

Perfect for Oven-Baked Goods and Beyond

Wide Grid is Efficient for Cooling

Dishwasher Safe

Perfect For Oven-Baked Goods – And Beyond.

There are countless ways a baking rack can improve your cooking: pop this rack on a baking sheet for the oven, let meat from the grill rest for a few minutes, let fried foods crisp up for a moment, and so much more.

Wide Grid Is Efficient For Cooling

The rack’s grill set-up allows for air flow to help cool foods quickly. When hot food comes out of the oven or off the grill, you need something to help cool it down so it’s safe to eat.

Easy To Cook. Easy To Clean.

After cooking and cooling your favorite treats, cleanup is easy. Toss the racks into the dishwasher for a quick clean.

5 out of 5 stars
This Rack Does the Job!
The rack fits perfectly in a half sheet pan (from Sam's). The rack's measurements are 16 9/16" x 11 9/16" (on one end) & 11 5/8" (on the other) x 1/2" (immaterial variance). The rack is thinner and lighter than one of my other racks (it's 11.5 oz.), and can definitely be bent if you press on both ends (not that you'd do that) because the feet are not on the ends or sides of the rack. Per the manufacturer, it is made from 18/0 stainless steel (think everyday silverware). Also, per the manufacturer, it "can go as hot as what any home oven can get to" (they confirmed 550°), and is safe under the broiler (yep...broiled some bacon). It will hold a 5 quart cast iron Dutch oven (although I did it while it was empty), as well as a 15" cast iron skillet (with oil) without bending. I think the rack would hold up under evenly distributed weight.I made sweet potato fries, and clean up was was fine (although I sprayed it with Pam and baked fries don't make too much of a mess). I also broiled bacon and baked chicken wings (tested both without spraying with Pam). It was easy to clean after a short dishwater soak (like 2 minutes).I haven't tested it for cooling, as I bought it for cooking; and I already have cooling racks that are further from the counter than 1/2 inch.So far, I've seen no rust. I think this rack will hold up fine for baking, and last a while. If that changes, I'll update the review.

This rack fit perfectly in my half sheet pans (various mfg.). It was easy to clean, very sturdy and didn't warp in a 400F oven. The edges and welds were finished, so I did not encounter snagging while cleaning. The grid is just right...not too small to be a total pain to clean, but not too big where items could fall through. The grid is straight and the feet sit level in my pans. It fits in my dishwasher for even easier cleaning. If you are looking to roast something heavy (like a turkey or rib roast), please look for a MEAT roasting rack; that's not what this product is intended for. It does beautifully with bacon, kabobs, chicken pieces and the like. I paid full price for this item (bought 3 and may buy more) and I recommend it and would not be embarrassed to give it as a gift. I bake a LOT, and having a quality, sturdy cooling surface this big for a reasonable price is greatly appreciated.

It perfectly fits a half-hotel pan. I use it for oven roasting bacon, about 30 minutes at 350 degrees - makes perfect bacon without the splatter; great for freezing in small batches for quick breakfasts. If you have a dishwasher, this is easy cleanup. If you hand wash, as I do, you can flip the rack upside down back into the hotel pan with soapy water just covering the wires (you can use wet paper towels if you worry about spilling), let it soak while you do other things, and then use a regular heavy duty sponge/scrubber and it washes out easily - just be sure to get at the cross-hatches where bacon leavings can hide.
This is a great, sturdy rack, perfect for cookies or the best rack for roasting meat or veggies. Worth every penny.

I had been searching for a rack like this so I can cook bacon without having to stand over the frying pan all morning and I found that most of them are not actually oven safe and are only good for cooling items so I was thrilled when I came across this item. After reading the reviews and description I decided to give it a try because the price was good and I am so glad that I did! I received the rack very quickly and when I opened it I immediately noticed how good of quality this is especially because of the extra support bar in the middle. I'm happy to say that it fits perfectly in a standard cookie sheet and I have successfully cooked bacon, salmon, pork loin and a huge boston butt on this with now warping or bending. I'm very happy with my purchase. Also, I only use my dishwasher for plates and cups so I have been hand washing this and I have to say, it surprisingly comes clean very easily, even when it's coated with crispy dripping and grease. :)

This makes cleaning my cookie sheets so much easier. Fits onto the trays perfectly. I usually just spray it down a bit after cooking and it washes just fine.
