Is the rack also stainless steel? How hot of an oven can this go in? Thank you!!

The rack is stainless steel. The roaster is stainless steel and can go in a very hot oven, same as all stainless products.

Yes, the rack is stainless. We had our oven set at more than 400 degrees while cooking a roast, and used the broiler (electric) to finish off browning the Thanksgiving turkey.

The rack is stainless. I roasted a turkey at 350 using he lid only, and roasted a beef roast and veggies using the entire pan at 325. Another post stated that the stainless didn't conduct the heat very well. The roast might have taken longer, but it was so tender and juicy. I can't see why it wouldn't be able to go in a hot oven. It is a heavy quality pan.

It's stainless steel and it's great oven! Use it every day and bought one more for my mom.

The rack is actually not a metal. It is a chrome plated, microwave safe material.

The inside is stainless, except for the sides which appear black enamel. The inside is 10" tall. There are 4" slots for the 2 shelves, all about 1 7/8" apart. The very top slot is 3" from the top. I love this convection oven and use it almost daily.

Thank you for your inquiry. I apologize, but I don't quite understand your question. Why would you want to put a stainless steel rack in the dishwasher to rust? Please clarify so we can assist you further.

I still have the box the cooling racks came in but it doesn't say what they're made of! My guess is they're aluminum or chrome and with that being said I don't know if they could withstand the heat using them as a baking rack, but you have 3 of them so you could chance it if you wanted to. Hope this helps.

To my knowledge this rack only comes in stainless. I have 2 of them on the wall one above the other. I would not be without them.

Yes, the rack is truly stainless steel. The pan is great! I'm now able to make a 4 layer lasagna. Cuisinart makes a good product.

Stainless steel. I've used mine many times, and see no evidence of rust/corrosion. The stainless is probably 200 grade, though this is a guess. The 200 series of stainless steel use some manganese instead of nickel and are not strongly resistant to corrosion but quite adequate for food containers/pots. It is magnetic but many grades of stainless steel are. I'm very happy with mine. Sorry, Great Grandma, it appears to be SS to me. I prefer not to use chromium plated stuff as the chrome can crack off. There are less chrome plated steel these days because of the recent development where the Chinese discovered a way to utilize nickel laterite iron ore. This is iron ore that contains about 7-10% nickel which formerly was impossible to use. The Chinese have discovered how to use it so SS has become cheaper and more utilized. Chrome plated racks usually show rust at the edges, my rack shows zero rust and lacks the brightness of chrome also. It could be that some are stainless and some are chrome plated?

It depends on if the rack is stainless, chromed stainless, or nickel-plated stainless. Straight stainless can definitely go under the broiler. Nickel-plated stainless cannot. And *some* chromed stainless can. Unfortunately neither the description here nor the item packaging specifies which of those this rack is. And, while it's uncoated in the sense that it's not non-stick, enameled, powder-coated, or made with other *visible* coatings, it very well may be chrome- or nickel-plated. I've baked on it, up to 475, many times--and I've had no problems. Sorry to not be of more help.

It is stainless steel. Low oven heat should be ok but high cooking heat may cause to warp do to being lightweight.

The lid and handles do get hot since they are metal. As long as you use pot holders or oven mitts it's fine.

Sorry for the delay but I don't think so. It is very thin and while it may not hurt you, I think you would be better off using a mechanical means of removing the corrosion. I would actually go and get a couple of grades of steel wool and see which one works the best at physical removal or the rust and corrosion. If you have some tiny little areas you want to clean, that you cannot reach with steel wool, I would use a brass or stainless brush in my Dremmel Tool (make sure you wear safety glasses particularly if working in the oven). Problem is of course is that with your continued use of oven cleaner, those area that have already corroded, will begin to corrode again once new oven cleaner is applied. If faced with this problem, I would leave the oven cleaner on just long enough to soften grease and crud, and then well wash your shelves and oven walls, and DRY EVERYTHING WELL. Use your wife's hair dryer or heat gun to make sure walls and shelves do not stay "wet" overnight and start to corrode over again. Any product you can find will either burn off, melt, or be too thin to maintain itself unless you can find so type of high temperature silicone grease, which would be found in industrial and commercial baking applications. I have food safe silicone grease for my meat grinder gears where it stays in place perfectly - it of course is not subject to high temperatures found in an oven interior. Don't know if any of this has helped. Let me know if it does and feel free to ask another question.

It is a standard 'cooling' rack. Not sure if that makes it stainless or aluminum or some other item. I personally have never had an issue with it staining the bottom of the pot, I have however had the rack rust a bit from the excess water usage. Its a great size and perfect to use for the water bath method instead of using my official 'canning' pot.

The rack slides out easily. The pan that comes with it is a very sturdy pan and cleans easily also. This is the perfect oven/toaster as far as I am concerned. I have had mine over 1 year and have "O" complaints.

Yes, it's all steel. I'm sure it can go in the oven at normal baking temperatures.

Kevin, The rack is made of a harden plastic, I think if it was made of metal, the eggs wouldn't cook even. The metal would crate a hot spot.
