## Abstract

A device will incorporate a baking sheet with an attached cooling rack. The user places the cooling rack onto the provided grooves in the baking sheet using the cooling rack's fixed handles, creating a flush surface, before placing food items to be baked onto the baking sheet. After baking, the device is taken out of the oven and the cooling rack is removed from the baking sheet, using the fixed handles. The provided rotating handles are rotated outward and folded under the cooling rack, forming a pair of legs. The cooling rack is then placed on a counter, table, or other flat surface, with the legs preferably resting on the level surface.
