Slide rack

An oven rack system has a two piece oven rack ( 100 ) with a cooking rack ( 102 ) and a base rack ( 104 ). The base rack ( 104 ) is adapted to remain stationary and may be positioned on ledges or other protrusions associated with inner liners of oven cavities. In one embodiment, a pair of angled pieces ( 118 ) extend between outer lateral braces ( 114 ) and a rear brace ( 106 ). The cooking rack ( 102 ) is adapted to slide on and be extendable relative to the base rack ( 104 ). The cooking rack ( 102 ) includes angled pieces ( 140 ) extending between the lateral braces ( 132 ) and the rear brace ( 130 ). A user can exert manual forces on the cooking rack ( 102 ) so as to move the cooking rack ( 102 ) in an extended or retracted position relative to the base rack ( 104 ). The movement occurs in the absence of the requirement of any type of ball bearings, rollers, or any other rotatable or rolling elements.
