Racks and inserts

Rack for roasting pans

SCANPAN roasting racks are made from stainless steel and can be used in the oven to raise ingredients above the base, allowing fat and liquid to drain away. This helps create a crispier surface and reduces the risk of food becoming soggy underneath. The racks are available in different sizes:

• 26 x 19 cm – fits the 3.25-litre Classic roasting pan
• 31 x 24.5 cm – fits the 5-litre Classic roasting pan

The racks are suitable for everything from smaller cuts to large joints and whole chickens. Explore our complete range of roasting pans to find different sizes and types for home and professional kitchens.

• Optimum air circulation around the food ensures even heat distribution
• Fat can drain away for crispier roasting results
• Easy to use in both professional and home kitchens
• Several sizes for different roasting pans
• Suitable for both cooking and draining

Using a rack in the roasting pan reduces the risk of food sticking and makes the pan easier to clean afterwards.

Choose a rack that matches the size of your roasting pan so it remains stable during cooking. Measure the inside of the pan and select the appropriate rack. SCANPAN racks fit both smaller and larger roasting pans and are designed for easy handling, even when loaded with food. Our kitchen accessories also include a wide selection of utensils and aids for the modern kitchen.

The racks are made from stainless steel, which withstands high temperatures and daily use. They are dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to extend their lifespan. For steaming or slow roasting, a rack can also be combined with a pot to add flexibility to your cooking.

In addition to racks, you can expand your cookware with specialist inserts for gentle, precise and safe cooking. The inserts fit compatible pots and saucepans and give you more techniques in the same setup.

Steamer insert

A steamer insert sits above simmering water and is ideal for vegetables, fish and dumplings. Steaming preserves moisture, texture and flavour without leaving ingredients sitting in liquid. Choose an insert that matches the diameter of your pot and use a lid to retain steam and heat.

Deep-frying baskets

Deep-frying baskets make it safer and easier to lower food into and lift it from hot oil. They also allow effective draining for crispy results. Use them in a high-sided pot with stable heat and select a basket that matches the pot size for the best control.

• Several cooking techniques with the same pot
• Gentle handling of delicate ingredients
• Greater safety and control when deep-frying

Clean your racks thoroughly after use to enjoy them for many years. Stainless steel is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing with a mild washing-up liquid is recommended to preserve the finish and extend the product's lifespan. Avoid abrasive cleaners and sharp utensils, as these may scratch the metal. Explore our care products and advice to get the most from your kitchen equipment.

• Wash the rack by hand to preserve its shine
• Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water marks
• Store the rack in a dry place so it remains rust-free

Proper care preserves both function and appearance, so the rack can be used again and again. For better frying and roasting results, explore SCANPAN's guide to four reliable cooking tips.
