If they made it out of better material it would be perfect...Dec 01, 2005
By H. Grove
"Errant Dreams Reviews"
It's a three-piece roasting rack--two sides and a long "pin" that holds them together. When assembled it has a rounded bottom and tall sides with handles. It's supposed to handle up to a 25 lb turkey, and after using it with a 22 lb turkey I believe that claim. The tall sides and handles make it easy to remove your turkey from your roasting pan, and the wide rounded base holds the turkey nicely up out of the drippings without crushing the rib cage the way angled racks do. In fact, my only beef with the shape was that it was too wide to fit in our Maxam Steel Roaster, which is currently my favorite roasting pan.
The truly cool thing about this rack, however, isn't the handles or the shape. It's that nifty pin at the bottom. You see, you just put your racked turkey down on its carving platter and pull the pin, then you simply remove the sides. That's it. They pull right away from the turkey, leaving it behind on its platter. No more trying to lever it out of your pan or off of its rack; it's right where you want it already.
For all of its non-stick properties the rack did take some real elbow-grease to clean--particularly when trying to get turkey goo out of the crevices between bars--but that isn't very surprising. It does make it unfortunate that the dishwasher is not recommended for this product, however. Also, there is one problem that did bother us; it seems that some of the non-stick coating at the bottom of the rack flaked off during cooking. We thought that perhaps the initial 30 minutes at 500 F was too high a temperature for the rack, but there is no maximum temperature listed on the packaging that I could find.
I'm still giving this item a rating of four because it's just so incredibly cool an idea, and so remarkably useful, but I have to admit that I'm not thrilled with the idea of a non-stick coating that flakes, and I wish the item was dishwasher-safe. I'd love to see Cuisipro develop a version of this item made out of a better material.

 Could be much better, potentially dangerousJan 11, 2007
By David Parenteau
"Geek"
Due to the size of our turkey this year and the haphazard job of getting turkeys out of the roasting pan all prior years, this item became a major hunt for us (It was sold out everywhere locally). Unfortunately, the rack was less than a good thing.
The end result was a burn hazard, "non-stick" coating flakes stuck to the turkey, three hours of cleaning, and a rack that rusted due to the loss of its coating onto the turkey.
In detail:
The first discovery was that since the roasting pan itself was relatively larger than the rack, it allowed the whole rack to slide around inside the pan, throwing things off balance to a great degree and undoing any light covering (like foil) that spanned the pan. Several foil corrections later and everything went into the oven, slipping around and endangering me with scalds against the oven itself as I had to attempt to right it.
I should have taken the sliding as a hint and reconsidered. The danger from putting the item INTO the oven was nothing compared to the hazard of taking it out as it slid around with a now-very-hot turkey inside a now-very-hot pan.
The rack performed as advertised for ease of lifting the turkey out of the roasting pan. Removing the center pin proved to be a two-person endeavor, with one person holding both sides of the rack and the second pulling the pin. This is the only thing it did as advertised.
We discovered the flaking off of a good portion of the non-stick coating onto the turkey itself to be the next issue. We discovered that the "non-stick" coating really isn't non-stick as being another thing to consider. Cleaning the thing proved to be one of the largest washing challenges I've had to undertake. The rusting out thereafter makes this a one-use product for us.
As a caveat, the sliding and burn hazard can be mitigated by having a roasting pan that is much smaller or finding a method to stabilize the rack inside toe roasting pan, however after examination of the tight curve and bow of the rack and potential solutions, my wife and I could come up with nothing for ideas that most reasonable people would care to undertake. The curve and height means that a smaller pan would need to actually have substantial height and/or be small enough to hold the base securely, but not contain the upper portion fully.

 DO NOT BUY! (Unless, of course, you want non-stick coating in your gravy)Nov 06, 2008
By M. E. Hay
Great design, but VERY DANGEROUS. After only one use, I noticed what other reviewers have noticed - the non-stick coating flakes VERY EASILY. And that's with hand-washing, not with dishwasher use.
The removable pin is a great design feature, but who cares about that if you have non-stick coating flecks in your gravy?
I threw mine away immediately.

Great design, but flaky, hard to clean and rusts.Jul 16, 2009
By J
It's a great idea/design, but I have to echo the other comments about the non-stick coating coming off. I'd guess I've used it about 10-12 times in the last 7 months, and at least a bit of the coating started coming off after just one or two uses.
Other reviewers have suggested that the coating flakes off during cooking; I can't say for sure, in fact that never occurred to me. I always assumed (and I still do think it more likely) that the coating comes off along with burned-on pieces of meat and fat that are removed during washing, even though I'm always careful to soak the rack first (usually overnight), and never use an abrasive cleanser or cleaning utensil.
And of course, the loss of some of the non-stick coating means that the item is now susceptible to rust.
Coating issues aside, this is also not an easy item to clean. The clever removable-pin hinge construction creates little crevices that require some patience (and/or perhaps a pipe-cleaner or toothbrush).
I love the design/concept, and would be more tolerant of the patience required to clean it thoroughly if the coating were not such an issue.
One consolation is that it was less than $20, but a bargain isn't a bargain if it doesn't perform as expected. Wish mine were simply an isolated case of a defective unit, but based on the other reviews, it isn't.

 Love it! Makes presenting your holiday dinner so much easier!Jan 10, 2011
By V. King (a.k.a. Paige Bryan)

I got this because it looked so easy to use and it is! No more of looking at that turkey on Thanksgiving and Christmas and thinking, "Hmm...how in the world am I going to get that bird off of the rack without destroying it!" This rack makes it so much easier to remove your turkey from the roasting pan and even easier to remove the turkey from the rack. Actually, I should say removing the rack from the turkey. Absolutely love it!
