Cooking rack

A cooking rack for simultaneously cooking more than one food slab, the cooking rack comprising:

• a rectangular frame including a pair of parallel side panels, a front panel, and a rear panel;
• and
• a plurality of generally planar slab supports removably fixed to the pair of parallel side panels in a rearwardly inclined position, each generally planar slab support including a food slab rest fixed to and extending forwardly from the plane of the each generally planar slab support,
• wherein the food slab rest is adjacent to a lower end of the each generally planar slab support,
• wherein the each generally planar slab support is formed of a bent rod,
• wherein portions of the bent rod extend through a plane of each parallel side panel and engages each parallel side panel,
• wherein each generally planar slab support further includes a pair of laterally extending posts fixed relative to the plane of the each generally planar slab support,
• wherein a portion of each laterally extending post extends through a plane of each parallel side panel and engages its respective parallel side panel forwardly of the plane of the each generally planar slab support.

A cooking rack for simultaneously cooking more than one food slab, the cooking rack comprising:

• a generally rectangular frame including:
• a pair of side panels lying in parallel planes;
• and
• front and rear panels lying in parallel planes;
• a first hinge pin extending through overlapped portions of the front panels;
• and
• a second hinge pin extending through overlapped portions of the rear panels,
• wherein the first and the second hinge pins are coaxial,
• wherein each side panel and corresponding front and rear panels form a section of the generally rectangular frame,
• wherein each front panel and each rear panel include an outwardly bent flange to limit rotation of the section around the first and the second hinge pins;
• and
• a plurality of food slab supports removably fixed to the generally rectangular frame, each food slab support lying substantially in a plane perpendicular to the planes of the pair of side panels and being formed of rod,
• wherein each food slab support plane is inclined rearwardly relative to the generally rectangular frame and includes a pair of risers,
• wherein each riser has an axis lying in a plane parallel to the planes of the pair of side panels and has an inturned end portion extending through a plane of a side panel and engaging and being removably fixed relative to its respective side panel,
• wherein each food slab support further includes a food slab rest extending forwardly of the plane of the each food slab support and horizontal posts that are fixed relative to the plane of the each food slab support and positioned forwardly of the plane of the each food slab support,
• wherein a portion of each horizontal post extends through the plane of a side panel forwardly of the plane of the each food slab support,
• wherein each horizontal post is removably fixed relative to its respective side panel for maintaining the each food slab support in its rearwardly inclined position relative to the generally rectangular frame, and
• wherein, when the plurality of slab supports are disengaged from the pair of side panels, the sections of the rectangular frame are rotated about the hinge pins to a storage position and the plurality of slab supports are dimensioned to be nested between the front panels and the rear panels with the rectangular frame in the storage position.
