A rack of a cooking implement includes a surface for supporting food, opposed sides and opposed ends separated by the food supporting surface. The rack also includes opposing looped handles. A pan of a cooking implement has opposed end walls that are spaced apart at length further than the length of the rack and opposed side walls that are spaced apart at a width wider than the width of the rack. The pan also includes opposing upstanding handles. The handles include at least one horizontal resting surface for supporting the looped handle of the rack and at least one vertical retaining surface for abutting the looped handle of the rack. As a result, the looped handles of the rack are received and supported by the handles of the pan thereby permitting the rack to hang within the interior of the pan.

The cooking implement of claim 4, wherein the second and third retaining surfaces are sloped from the vertical. 6. The cooking implement of claim 4, wherein the second and third retaining surfaces of the handle coact to lock the rack in place relative to the second direction. 7. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein each pan handle has two first retaining surfaces. 8. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein each pan handle has two resting surfaces. 9. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the terminal loop portion of the rack handle is formed to protrude laterally and exteriorly of the resting and retaining surfaces of the pan handles. 10. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the pan handle is cast, forged or stamped metal. 11. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the rack includes a base with feet for supporting the rack on a flat surface. 12. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the food support surface of the rack is arc-shaped. 13. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the rack is covered with a non-stick coating. 14. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the rack is chrome plated. 15. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the rack is stainless steel. 16. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the inside surface of the pan is covered with a non-stick coating. 17. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the inside surface of the pan is not covered with a coating. 18. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the inside surface of the pan is covered with a porcelain coating. 19. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the rack is suspended in the pan such that the food support surface does not contact the pan. 20. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the rack has a convex shape for supporting a food item. 21. The cooking implement of claim 1, wherein the resting surface and the retaining surface are located near the top of the upstanding handle.
