Abstract
A chop rack that has a tray with a base and sidewalls. Attached and extending upwardly from the tray is a plurality of spaced-apart support frames. Received and positioned over the support frame is a top assembly. Meat is received between the support frames such that the meat is maintained in an upright position, which in some embodiments allows a bone portion of the meat to come into contact with the base of the tray. Alternatively, a chop rack is provided that has a first and second sidewall that each has a set of spaced-apart slats connected along their respective lower edges that adjustably and selectively interlock with one another to form a cooking surface that allows for fine-tuned heat adjustments. Additionally, a central portion of both sidewalls does not have a slat to form an opening in the cooking surface to allow heat through to create even cooking conditions.
