sheet pan rack

A typical set includes one half sheet pan plus a matching multi-purpose rack. The pan is for baking and roasting, while the rack can be used for elevating food in the oven, broiling, cooling baked goods, or decorating.

Multi-purpose racks are used for roasting, broiling, elevating foods while baking (to promote even browning), cooling baked goods, and decorating or finishing items—functions that help airflow and produce crisper results.

Expandable cookware racks use adjustable dividers and an expanding base to hold pans and lids upright and visible instead of stacking. Many also include non-slip feet to prevent sliding and rolling.

Half sheet pans resist warping when made from heavy-gauge aluminum and reinforced with an encapsulated steel rim. Racks gain rigidity from design features such as diagonal stiffening ribs.

Cabinet and pantry storage options include expandable or freestanding cookware racks with adjustable dividers and non-slip feet, plus pull-out or slide-out cabinet organizers (cupboard-mount or adhesive) designed to hold trays, cutting boards, and similar items.
