  • Publication number: 20080044537
    Abstract: An oven rack grilling apparatus combining an oven rack with a grilling basket, wherein the grilling basket is disposed within an aperture of a standard-sized oven rack. The rear portion of the oven rack is suitable for grilling larger portions of food, while the grilling basket may contain smaller food portions within the basket with its lid closed, or accommodate larger food portions with the lid open. The grilling basket is made of metal mesh to permit uniform exposure to radiant heat within the oven. In another configuration, a rotisserie may be placed within the aperture of the oven rack, with or without the grilling basket present. The rotisserie permits rotation of food disposed thereon.
