HOW TO USE

How To Use the Rack

The Folding Rack can be used when roasting meat or poultry or for steaming or
baking. The small legs raise food so that there is air space underneath
when roasting or baking and raise food above the water for steaming.

Unfold the side arms to the outside. Place food on the rack. Pick up the rack
by the arms and place in the Cooking Pan. The arms of the rack will be held
up by resting against the sides of the Cooking Pan. When food has finished
cooking simply lift the rack by the arms to remove the food.

IMPORTANT: Always use oven mitts when removing the rack.
