Abstract: An oven tray formed from a sheet of glass fiber or other non-metallic temperature resistant mesh generally having a horizontal warp and weft, coated with a fluoropolymer such as PolyfTetraFluoroEthyleneor, silicone compound, etc. that provides a low friction coefficient coupled with high temperature resistance and light weight. The mesh is sufficiently widely spaced so an air gap exists between strands of weft and warp to allow circulation of air. The oven tray improved the quality of cooked food items in a variety of high temperature environments by increasing the ventilation afforded to the food item. The oven tray is both lightweight and has low thermal conductivity. In order to improve the rigidity of the material, the individual strands of mesh are aligned with the main axes of the tray.
