An oven rack is a metal frame with bars used to position pans during cooking. It can be easily slid in and out of an oven and is designed to fit securely. It can be easily cleaned and is typically used for pans rather than directly cooking on the shelves.
An oven rack is a metal rack that fits inside an oven and is often used to position pans during cooking in order to keep food centrally located inside the oven. Most baskets can be easily slid in and out of an oven, allowing you to remove them to allow larger dishes to be cooked inside the oven. Ovens typically have a number of slots in the sides of the oven into which the racks can be slid, allowing the racks to be repositioned at different levels. An oven rack can be easily replaced or cleaned although it can often take abuse under heavy use.
The typical design of an oven rack is quite simple and usually involves a number of metal bars connected together by a metal frame. In general, these racks look quite similar to a cooling rack used for baked goods, though they’re often made of heavier metal that can better handle more weight placed on it. The frame used for the rack is typically rectangular, and the rack will usually be made up of mostly horizontal bars, with several vertical bars to provide reinforcement and more stability for the rack.
A typical rack will be designed specifically for an oven, although some ovens may be able to use the same style of rack. This is because the rack must be able to fit properly and securely inside the oven. Typically an oven will have slots in the sides into which the edges of an oven rack can be slid, often with some type of raised lip to allow the frame to be somewhat locked into place. While the rack can be easily moved, this design means it doesn’t usually move like an accident.
The removable nature of an oven rack means that it’s usually quite easy to clean. While cleaning the inside of an oven is often a chore, the grates can simply be taken out and washed in a sink. Most foods cooked in an oven are usually placed on a pan or pot and then placed in the oven. Some dishes can be prepared right on the shelves of an oven, but this is quite unusual. For example, although many people wrap a potato in foil before cooking, this can often lead to the potato being steamed and properly roasted; some recipes require the potato to be placed, uncovered but rubbed with oil and lightly salted, directly on a grill for cooking.
