Alton-ish Roasting Rack
We decided this year to give the Alton Brown roast turkey a try. One thing that I didn't have was a roasting rack. I set out in search of the same one that he used with no success of finding it. The next best thing is this rack. I was a little concerned that it wouldn't be large enough for the 20lb turkey we were roasting. In use it turned out to plenty long but a little narrow. The wings ended up resting on and sticking to the baking sheet. I was able to cut them free with little trouble. The other complaint I had with this rack involves the handles. Specifically that they swing out flat when not being used to lift the turkey. This tended to get in the way a bit when moving the bird into the oven. I would still rather have these handles than no handles at all like some other racks. I would give this rack five stars if it were a little wider and if the handles would stay more vertical when not in use.
love this rack; it's nifty!
i didn't want a non-stick coated rack; didn't want a non-adjustable rack. DID want a rack with small raised feet/bumps and sturdy handles that was easy to clean and adjustable. it's just perfect. it even fit my small oval roaster (though i measured it wrong).
Very Disappointed
I received this a few hours ago and yes, it is adjustable so that is a great plus but there has been a major issue. The first time I picked it up, 3 of the pieces broke off. Two more have come off in subsequent encounters. So I am down 5. I cannot place anything on the rack like shown in the photo because my roast would fall through the gaping holes in the support.
