Abstract: A nesting bakery oven rack has first and second vertical side panels extending between the front and the rear of the rack. The rack has a generally x-shaped base comprising a first diagonal brace extending from a point adjacent the front of the first side panel to a point adjacent the rear of the second side panel. A first slot in the first side panel extends from the rear of the first side panel toward the front to accommodate the first brace of another nesting bakery oven rack nested with the nesting bakery oven rack at the rear. A second slot in the second side panel extends from the front of the second side panel toward the rear of the second side panel to accommodate the first diagonal brace of another nesting bakery oven rack nested with the nesting bakery oven rack at the front.
