Know before you buy
Yes, the rack measures 12" x 17", which is the standard size designed to sit perfectly inside most half sheet pans.
Absolutely. The rack is made from durable stainless steel and is oven-safe, making it ideal for elevating meats or vegetables to ensure even airflow and crisping.
The rack is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, which is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. To maintain its finish, we recommend drying it thoroughly after dishwasher cycles.
This rack features six sturdy feet rather than the standard four, providing extra support and preventing the center from bowing under the weight of heavier roasts or large batches of cookies.
The rack is dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup straightforward. For stubborn, baked-on residue, soaking the rack in warm, soapy water before putting it in the dishwasher usually does the trick.
