Oven Crisp Baking Tray

Works very well for crisping wings and for baking without your food cooking in fat.

I use it for toasting bread in the oven, using the broiler temperature. Toast is crispy and moist and warmer inside. Also, it is easier to keep clean versus a pop up toaster, which houses lots of crumbs that NEVER come out, which is very unsanitary. I give it four stars because, I have yet to use it for other foods for vegan cooking.

I bought this product because I’ve been baking our bacon for years but it was a mess and annoyance to drain the grease half way through and turn the bacon on a regular flat baking sheet. I looked for a little grill thing for my flat baking sheet and came across this product. I instantly fell in love with it that weekend for our usual Sunday bacon breakfast, it was the most delicious bacon ever, we like ours extra crispy. Cleaning it was easy too, I let it soak a bit and washed it. I’ve also have used it to bake chicken thighs on it & most recently those frozen food corn dogs, they were a big hit with the children. I highly recommend this product ????

I’ve had success using this product for cooking bacon when I need both bacon and grease in a recipe…it doesn’t cook the bacon as crisp as I like for stand-alone bacon (I haven’t tried to cook it that crisp – it would take a while as a previous reviewer has mentioned), but I’ve had no problems with clean-up if I soak the pan and grill overnight in dish soap water. I gave it a rating of 2 assuming that a rating of 1 is perfect (y’all ought to use words or at least words with the numbers to eliminate any confusion).

I wanted to like this pan, really, I did. Following the instructions, baking my bacon for 17 minutes (I like my bacon just short of burnt) gave me still-chewy bacon. 25 minutes (after making sure, with a thermometer, my oven was at 400F) gave me my crispy bacon. OK, that’s not that much of a problem. The big problem was cleanup. The bottom pan would be better if it were nonstick; I thought I was going to be scrubbing it forever. The rack would actually be better if it weren’t nonstick; I’m afraid that if I scrub it well enough to remove the stuff that stuck to it, I’d scrub off the coating. I expect better from NordicWare.
