Abstract: A rack for supporting objects within a kitchen appliance has a first side with a first front end and a second side opposing the first side with a second front end. The rack also has a front side extending from the first front end to the second front end and opposing a door of the appliance. The rack further has at least one protrusion member supported on the front side of the rack. The at least one protrusion member is positioned so that the door of the appliance contacts the at least one protrusion member instead of the front side of the rack.
