    I do not understand.

     

     

    Edit:  the racks that came with my oven have parallel wires.

    This does fit in the oven directly in the rack slots

     

    Hamilton Housewares Stainless Steel Cooling Rack

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H94EPJ2/

     

    You could use it as a perforated pan of sorts I would think

     

    If you have another half sheet pan cooling rack, it might fit as well. Many, but not all, of them will fit.

    I wouldn't use it for heavy tasks as it does look thinner than the rack. But, having said that, I'm assuming because it has more cross beams supporting it, the bend in it under my Le Creuset is about the same as the rack. It'd be great for steaming/roasting and I'd have no qualms about putting meat or vegetables directly on it. I doubt I'd have issues with a normal pan as compared to the rack either given the similar bend now that I think about it.

     

    These are the full posts I was referring to and his suggestion of using it to roast on. Sorry for the confusion.

    I appreciate your despair of using your copper, but unfortunately the process of using an induction plate somewhat defeats the induction cooker's purpose. You have to heat the plate which in turn heats the pot which finally heats your food. If other than appearance your copper has other advantages, then it might be worthwhile.

    Grocery chain evaluations

    I live just outside (15 minutes) a relatively small town (30,000) and feel I'm spoiled for grocery shopping options. I won't rate them as they are more similar than dissimilar.

     

    Zehrs

    Food Basics

    Walmart

    Metro

    No Frills

    Costco

    Giant Tiger

     

     Obviously Costco being a member only store might not qualify and Giant Tiger is like a mini Walmart as it sells clothes etc as well as food and is not as well stocked as the others in that area.

    The only drawback of this cornucopia of options is that few exotic products are on offer. There's only one store that has anchovies other than in a can or as a paste!

    Most of you will find this weird...but I've had gyro one time in my life and I'm pretty sure it wasn't even a good one, but I loved it.

    At first glance, I read "guy" instead of gyro and would have suggested you get out more.

     

    That being said, I've never had a gyro at all, back then the area where I grew up was not very culturally diverse and my culinary adventures were confined to jello salad.

    i used to always have on hand jar of Trio gravy mix from Costco. It made what we call “chip truck gravy”. I would sometimes gussy it up with some fresh cream or even a little Calvedos and it served the purpose. But much to my horror Costco no longer carries it.

     

    Amazon caries the Trio brand:

    Just right for "chips and gravy" 😁
