Know before you buy
Yes, the rack measures 16.5" x 11.75", which is specifically designed to fit inside standard 13" x 18" half sheet pans.
Absolutely. The rack is constructed from heavy-duty chrome wire and is oven-safe up to 500ºF, making it suitable for roasting meats, baking, or dehydrating.
No, this rack is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the quality of the chrome wire, we recommend hand washing it in warm, soapy water.
Elevating the bacon on the rack allows heat to circulate underneath the strips, which ensures even cooking and helps render the fat for a crispier texture without the bacon sitting in grease.
Using the rack elevates your food, which promotes better airflow around the item. This results in more even browning and prevents the bottoms of your baked goods or roasted vegetables from becoming soggy.
