An oven cavity, having an associated width defined by a lateral distance spanning side walls thereof, is provided with an oven rack that has a maximum lateral dimension which is substantially less than the width of the oven cavity and is directly supported by the oven cavity. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, the oven rack includes a platform portion, as well as first and second support portions. The first support portion is attached to a rear wall of the cavity and the second support portion is adapted to engage a runner provided on one of the side walls of the cavity, at least when the platform portion is weighted down by an item to be cooked. In the preferred embodiment, the first support portion projects rearwardly and upwardly from the platform portion and has an uppermost section provided with a pair of spaced retaining clips that are received within lanced tabs formed in the rear wall of the oven cavity. A lower section of the first support portion actually extends rearward of the retaining clips and abuts the rear wall to maintain the second support portion in an elevated state above the side wall runner until an item to be cooked is placed upon the platform portion, at which time, the lower section is placed under compression. In further accordance with the preferred embodiment, the second support portion projects laterally outwardly of the platform portion such that the platform portion is spaced from a respective side wall of the oven cavity.
