STURDIGLIDE
TM
Mate Rack
The STURDIGLiDE Mate rack is designed especially for your
broiler or roasting pan. This rack is elevated on each side, and
has a unique shallow basin-shaped
depression in the center,
allowing for easier removal of your broiler or roasting pan from
the oven.
The broiler pan can be placed on the STURDIGLIDF
M Mate Rack
and placed below food that may spill over during cooking.
Food can be placed on a rack above the pan or directly on the
pan during cooking. When using the broiler pan, remove the grid
that is used for broiling. Place the broiler pan directly on the
specially designed rack and preheat the oven with the pan in
place.
Suggested uses when cooking casseroles, pizza and pies:
These are the best possible positions in the oven for combination
and use of the STURIGLIDE
TM
Mate Rack.
