Norpro Adjustable Roast Rack, 7 Positions

A roast cooked flat on the bottom of a pan steams in its own juices. Raising it on a rack lets hot air reach the underside and keeps the drippings clear for gravy. Norpro’s adjustable roast rack sets to seven positions, from nearly flat for a pork loin to a deep V that cradles a turkey breast side up.

The rack sits inside a standard roasting pan and folds flat when the holidays are over, so it stores in a drawer beside the sheet pans. Because it is light, it is easy to lift out with the roast still on it if you want to deglaze the pan on the stovetop.

This is one of the Thanksgiving tools customers ask about together. Brine the bird in the Norpro brining bag, roast it on this rack, baste it with the stainless baster, then pour the drippings through the glass gravy separator for a lean gravy.
