What is a Flat Roasting Rack?
The flat roasting rack is an ideal kitchen utensil to help ensure the even baking or roasting of various cuts of meat. Placed into the bottom of a roasting pan, the flat roasting rack allows the bottom of the meat to cook thoroughly without burning on the bottom of the pan. Here is some information about the flat roasting pan and how it is often used around the kitchen. The flat roasting rack is available in a couple of different designs, since not all roasting pans are shaped exactly the same. It is possible to purchase a rectangular rack that will fit into just about every roasting pan. An oval rack is manufactured that is especially suited for use with an oval roasting pan. However, it is not uncommon for some cooks to use a smaller rectangular shaped flat roasting rack in a larger oval roasting pan. This is common when there are several roasting pans of different sizes in the kitchen, and the desire is to have one roasting rack that will work with all of them.
