I purchased something similar years ago and it came with a metal rack to give the muffin tray some stability. Is this product stable enough to w/o it?

This muffin tray is not strong enough to be used without support. I use an old cookie tray underneath it when baking. I would recommend some kind of rack or tray.

It is very pliable and needs two hands to be brought in and out of the oven. But, it sits fine on the oven rack. I dont put it on anything. I hope this helps.

No, this product will need a stable metal tray while removing it from the oven, especially while baking a soft food like flan.

The muffin pan is very flexible. I would not recommend baking without something under it unless you can guarantee each muffin cup is resting on a section of the oven rack. Even then, I think by trying to place it in the oven without something under it you are taking a risk of it bending and spilling the contents in your oven. I have placed mine on a cookie sheet and that worked perfectly.

Yes. I managed to get my muffins in the oven without spilling...I just had to to it with care.

The rack stil wobbles. I use the screw in hitch pin as well as the lottery pin and it moves. There is play between the hitch and the receiver so it slides in. No way around it. The screw doesn't alleviate the rocking. That being said I've had no issues with the rocking. Yet. Some day I suspect the metal could break from wear and fatigue.

No, it's not stable enough. I had to flat grind the bottom of mine so that it would be stable enough to stand upright on it's own. Otherwise, a simple shacking of the table would make it fall over.

at first we had a little trouble. we notice the tray was push up in the middle, so we push down couple of times and now it worksjust fine. i think the tray in the middle got push up during shipment. works great. the keurig now sits on top and it is fine.

Yes, it has been sturdy enough for my stainless steel pots and pans without any problems. You will want side support for frying pans. Usually I'll prop a plate up, then the frying pan next to it. It is a good little rack.

I have not. However, I would say if the lap top is smaller than the height of the rack it would be fine. Otherwise too much weight on the top would be an issue. Also, if it were heavy on one end you may have a balance issue. Basically the base is a plastic. It is hollow under (like a shoe box top). The wire racking fits into holes that do not go clear through. The heaviest item I place in mine is a small terra cotta baking stone that bakes a half dozen bisquits. It is heavy but shorter than the racking so it is ok. I fill mine and it has no issue. Hope this helps

Yes it can. The top shelf gives it support for the sides to stay together. Its a very nice bakers rack.

No, though the rack does slide out easily for changes in height for baking, toasting and broiling.

Yes. Though if you tilt the tray, you usually have to adjust other angles so that the whole structure stay balanced and stable. Overall good quality thus far.

It's pretty stable. Only movement i get is when i rerack a heavy weight, but only if you really slam it against the rack.

No need to bolt to floor, as it is heavy metal and well balanced to hold the bars and wight without tipping over. I had the same question, but chanced ordering th rack. It is a solid piece of equipment that I am proud of. Solid, sturdy, and stable. Very pleased with rack.

I have the same question, because I have been just using the drip/bake pan that came with the box and it was bowing when I was using the convection oven but eventually came back to normal shape. This worries me that it's not made to withstand the heat. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I doubt the non stick surface would even come in contact with the metal but if you're looking for one, I just reviewed a folding metal dish rack that has changed my life. This one was useless and hardly held anything at all. Click on my name to see other items I've reviewed and check out that dish rack. I'm really really happy with it!!

It's rather flimsy to use without something more sturdy underneath it. I do use it on a cookie sheet but it should be able to withstand being placed on the rack.

the grill really provides the stability. not sure if it'll be stable enough

Have baked biscuits and muffins using round metal cake pan and rack provided with oven. Definitely not a piece of "crap." I'd give it 4 stars and use it almost every day.

I used mine a couple times already and I love it. At first I thought it was wobbling but then I realized it wobbles just enough to rotate easily. I tried moving it briskly to see if cupcakes would fall but didn't.
