A telescoping rack assembly for an oven cavity includes a rack extendable upon a primary rack frame which, in turn, is mounted for sliding movement relative to the oven cavity. Therefore, with this arrangement, multiple extensions for the rack is available. The rack is preferably supported upon guides carried by the rack frame, along with multiple sets of rollers. A secondary rack frame can be provided to slidably support the primary rack frame such that a further extension is available.
