Make Your Oven Larger
I have a small oven. It's about 15 1/5" across and 17" deep. This meant I couldn't use many pans and sheets that measured 18" deep, which were common. The width was no problem; just the depth. One day I realized that the 17" depth was due to the rack, not the oven. The last inch of the rack curved up and prevented a pan from fitting all the way to the back wall of the oven. I took out a rack and with a dremel hand tool I sliced off all the bars of the rack just a tad short of where they swing upwards. Now I could slide a sheet pan or cookie sheet or whatever all the way to the back and I could fit 18" sheets and pans in. The rack is more than enough in strength to support anything you would put on it while baking.

Dremels make the world beter
:) Just lately fixed a nose hair trimmer with the Dremel. (Now doesn't that paint a picture?) Also a design problem. Great little tool!
...make the world better.

Caution! Comedic thread jacking in progress; please remove all children, sharp objects, dremels and nose hair trimmers from the vicinity.

Dremels... sheet pans... home ovens... when will it end.... back in my day, we had to climb the mountains to bake our loaves inside of volcanoes, and we were thankful!
I remember chewing wheat kernels for hours before the horses hooves did the kneading, and we fed our fires with manure.
