Smaller than a sheet of paper, I nearly returned it, but the I figured I could use it inside my 9x12 pan as a broiling rack. It worked prefectly, but after I washed it nearly every corner was covered in BRIGHT ORANGE RUST. It might be dishwasher safe, but only as long as you stand next to your dishwasher waiting to hand dry as soon as the cycle ends! And even then, make sure you dry the corners very well I can't get all of the rust off & don't feel comfortable feeding my family anything off of a rusty rack so I threw it away.
"Are those snickerdoodles, Mom?" "No Son, they're sugar cookies. Just dust that part off." No thank you.

They fit my quarter (9" x 13") and half size (18" x 13") baking sheets very well -- minimal gaps on the edges. And nice separation above the pan or counter -- keeps the food away from grease and allows air to circulate. Performed well with glazed pork chops, Shake'N Bake chicken, home-made battered fish filets and breaded fish sticks, bacon, french fries and tater tots. I have also used them as cooling racks for homemade bread.
I was not sure about the cross wire design but have found that the stability provided with little to no loss of grease drainage and aeration capability, particularly for heavier foods, admirable and worth any cleanup hassle.
Wash by hand after each use and season them with oil!!! After learning the hard way with similar racks from kitchen stores that rusted when not cared for, being consistent about cleaning/seasoning will ensure a longer lasting product. Cleans up decently with some soaking and a little bit of scrubbing.

I purchased this rack at the same time I purchased a small sheet pan and a couple of other racks. I have decided to start using a toaster oven more regularly to avoid the costs involved with the larger oven as well as the associated heating of the kitchen. This rack was the perfect size to fit INSIDE a quarter sheet pan (9x13).... and that size fits my toaster oven perfectly.

I have read some of the reviews and it seems like most of the lesser ratings on this item come from a "rusting" situation, or the title listing as a 9x13 rack. The description explains that the rack FITS INSIDE a 9x13 pan.... so it must, out of necessity, be a little smaller than 9x13 for that to happen. Right.??? The rusting thing I'm not too certain about. I've seen lots of small racks over the years and it seems like most of them have some sort of issue with rust... at least initially. If you keep them clean and spray a little oil on them before use, they will eventually become a lot simpler to maintain and resist rusting quite well. The oil seems to work its way into the rack and coats the metal in such a way that rusting becomes much less of a problem. My method is to wash them well (by hand or dishwasher..) then dry them quickly with a towel and place them back in a warm oven. This seems to drive out any remaining moisture..... No rust.!!

Anyway, this crosswire rack fits my quarter sheet pans perfectly. It holds up well to oven heat and provides a nice surface to oven roast root vegetables as well as some cuts of meat. It is hard to definitely say that this rack is the best out there. It probably isn't. But it works. And for the price it's hard to beat. Recommended.

I took this rack out of the dishwasher the first time and I had rust. I emailed Libertyware and they won't even respond. This is nickle plated and should not rust for a long time. Don't buy this!!!

Like many other reviewers, the problem I had with this product was rust. Although the description says dishwasher and oven safe, it is not. I have had this for less than 6 months and it is rust coated. I gave it two stars rather than one because it is a convenient size and if all you want is a cooling rack it will probably work alright, provided you hand wash and immediately dry it.
