Abstract
An oven rack for supporting food items to be cooked in a cavity of an appliance includes a support platform defined by a plurality of support elements that establish primary and secondary zones upon which food items to be cooked can be placed. The support elements are located in closer proximity within the primary zones than in the secondary zones. Preferably, the support elements are further interconnected by at least one cross support element in each of the primary zones. With this configuration, a consumer is directed to support food items to be cooked in optimal locations upon the oven rack.
