An extending oven rack for a cooking appliance comprising:
- a rack framework adapted to engage one or more interior side walls of a cooking appliance;
- one or more cylindrical sliding rods coupled to the rack framework extending in a longitudinal direction of travel of the extending rack, and wherein the one or more cylindrical sliding rods includes an outer cylindrical surface;
- and
- a wire rack having one or more cylindrical bushings slidingly engaging the one more cylindrical sliding rods in order to position the wire rack forwards and backwards along the longitudinal direction of travel relative to the rack framework, wherein the one or more cylindrical bushings includes an outer cylindrical surface and an inner cylindrical surface, and wherein the inner cylindrical surface of the one or more cylindrical bushings slidingly engages the outer cylindrical surface of the one or more cylindrical sliding rods.
