OXO Silicone Roasting Rack - Set of 2 - O35

$18.00

Why It's Cool: Flexible and convenient solution to elevate your food.

A roasting rack is an essential component to good cooking of so many delicious dishes … usually these racks ‘come with’ your roasting pan, but often those that ‘come with’ are either too thin grade - slightly flimsy wire racks that won’t hold the weight of your proteins - or too thick - and overwhelm your food. Neither grade will easily release the cooked surface of your protein, without extra oil that ruins the evenness of your cooked food, as well as the beauty of your intended presentation. And both grades can be highly variable: to assure the even cooking you want, and - most problematically - both are a real pain to clean: I’ve never been able to thoroughly clean in/around the corners around those small wires, where last week’s fat gets further - and further - baked on, with each succeeding use, into a hard black mass. After awhile, they become just old, overused, disgusting pieces that need to be tossed.

So look in your drawer and make a decision: we think we’ve found a solution to these issues, from OXO.

Details

This pair of high-heat, food grade, BPA-free silicone racks - each ~⅝”/~1.6cm thick - are wonderfully configured: they can be used separately - each is 8”/20.5cm long x 4⅞”/12.5cm wide - to accommodate small poultry, like cornish game hens or quail, or small loins, or in a single side-by-side or end-to-end configuration, to support larger pieces. The curved and elevated design elements of the overall rectangular form allow for efficient air circulation over, under, and around all sizes of food: even allowing stacking, for extra elevation. And because they don’t have metal, they can be used in the microwave as well.

The heat-resistant, BPA-free silicone is dishwasher safe, for easy cleanup. We believe that you will agree that the combination of materials and design, especially after the excellent results you’ll achieve in the kitchen, make this a very Cool Tool!
