Abstract: A rack for an appliance comprises a main section including a support frame having a front wire, rear wire, and opposed side wires. A plurality of intermediate wires are attached to the support frame and at least one cross member is provided across a portion of the intermediate wires. The rack also includes a recessed section defined by a portion of the intermediate wires and adapted to removably receive a baking stone. In one example, the recessed section has a depth sufficient to accommodate a baking stone substantially completely therein. In addition or alternatively, an arrangement for supporting items within an appliance includes a rack having a main section and a recessed section, and a baking stone adapted to be received substantially completely within the recessed section of the rack.
