Abstract
A pan and suspended cooking rack system for baking, curing, and dehydrating meats, such as bacon, features a base tray with raised edges, two vertical supports, and a mesh rack with half-cylindrical tubes positioned horizontally and perpendicular to the supports. Meat drapes over the tubes curved surfaces for uniform heat exposure, with grease draining into the tray, eliminating reliance on a horizontal pan or rack. Supports are adjustable, and tube configurations are reconfigurable, with attachment options including hinged, snap-on, threaded, magnetic, friction-fit, clamp-on, and modular adapters for versatility. The system adapts to BBQ grills or smokers with connectors like hooks or clamps on the supports ends for grate attachment, enhancing outdoor use.
