Abstract

An oven rack system has a two piece oven rack (100) with a cooking rack (102) and a base rack (104). The base rack (104) is adapted to remain stationary and may be positioned on ledges or other protrusions associated with inner liners of oven cavities. In one embodiment, a pair of angled pieces (118) extend between outer lateral braces (114) and a rear brace (106). The cooking rack (102) is adapted to slide on and be extendable relative to the base rack (104). The cooking rack (102) includes angled pieces (140) extending between the lateral braces (132) and the rear brace (130). A user can exert manual forces on the cooking rack (102) so as to move the cooking rack (102) in an extended or retracted position relative to the base rack (104). The movement occurs in the absence of the requirement of any type of ball bearings, rollers, or any other rotatable or rolling elements.
