This worked great for all the Thanksgiving dishes I served. It was sturdy and stayed upright with the weight of the dishes on it.. It didn't collapse like the last one I bought. Great product. Excellent for entertaining Highly recommended.

Every Thanksgiving I struggle trying to fit dishes in my oven to warm up at the same time the turkey is in their. This rack is going to be HUGE help and It's not even Thansgiving yet! I inserted it ,measured the shelves, and I have no doubt it is going to solve my multi-dish warm up logistics!

On those occassion when a large holiday meal is inorder theses addition shelves fit in next to the main meal (turkey, smoked ham, crown ribs, etc.) and you can fit in the sides to cook them or just re-heat them before the main dish is finished cooking. Before, it was a hassle trying to fit the side dishes in with the main meal. Its also easy to assemble and sturdy.
I originally purchased this item for use on Thanksgiving and Christmas so I could have multiple items in the oven at one time. I was surprized that I no sooner received the item in the mail and had to cook for a dinner party and this came in so very handy. Now when I have several dishes that need baking or cooking in the oven and need to be served at the same time everything comes out hot. This is a wonderful convenience.
A simple idea that is a "real help," in the kitchen. Great for meal preparation. I have a single oven, but love to entertain. I am able to keep several items warm, with this oven rack. This rack is great for warming plates, also. Easy storage!

Haven't really had a chance to use it yet, but seems a extra large oven would suffice better. I have an older double oven, and adequate room is a concern. The space between racks are just enough for a casserole type dish. But with my oven I am still able to use two of the three racks.

I can get 4 large casserole dishes in my oven easily. None would fit on the racks due to height, and I had to remove one of the existing shelves. So I actually lost a lot of space by using these. One would have to have an extremely large oven and have shallow small dishes to put on these to gain any space. Very dissappointed, I was looking forward to gaining some holiday cooking space. Returned them.
This is ok for keeping cooked foods warm but don't try to cook those foods with this rack system. Appliance companies develop their cooking performance by taking into consideration the air flow in their oven. Especially convection, depends on precise air flow to get even browing and heating results. This rack system messes all of that up. There is not enough room between the racks to allow for even and adequate air flow for good results. Maybe you could switch foods around as they cook to try to get even cooking but that defeats the purpose of ease this rack system is supposed to deliver. Just read your owners manual and do multiple rack baking according to the oven manufacturers' directions.
