A rack for an appliance is provided. The rack includes a main support platform having a first support frame, an auxiliary support platform having a second support frame, and a plurality of elongated support members attached to the second support frame to form an auxiliary support surface. The auxiliary support platform is rotatable relative to the main support platform. In one example, the auxiliary support platform is rotatably connected to the main support platform. In addition or alternatively, a rotational drive member is operatively attached to the main support platform and operatively attached to the auxiliary support platform for causing rotational movement of the auxiliary support platform relative to the main support platform. Further, an appliance is provided including a main body having an interior cavity bounded by at least one wall section, and the main support platform is configured to be supported within the interior cavity.

1. A rack for a cooking oven, including: a main support platform having a first support frame; andan auxiliary support platform having a second support frame and a plurality of elongated support members attached to the second support frame to form an auxiliary support surface,the auxiliary support platform being rotatably connected to the main support platform to permit rotational movement of the auxiliary support platform relative to the main support platform,wherein the auxiliary support platform is operatively connected to a drive element to cause rotational movement of the auxiliary support platform, the drive element is supported by a heat seal within an opening of an oven wall, the heat seal configured to inhibit heat loss through the opening, andwherein the drive element is operatively coupled to a switch for selectively turning the drive element on and off independent of the operation of the cooking oven. 2. The rack of claim 1, the auxiliary support platform being rotatably connected to the main support platform by way of a rotational support. 3. The rack of claim 2, wherein the rotational support includes a bearing. 4. The rack of claim 2, wherein the main support platform further includes a plurality of elongated support members attached to the first support frame to form a main support surface. 5. The rack of claim 4, wherein the main support surface is formed along a first plane and the auxiliary support surface is formed along a second plane, the rotational support being configured to maintain the second plane generally parallel to the first plane during rotation of the auxiliary support platform relative to the main support platform. 6. The rack of claim 1, wherein the drive element is operatively connected to the auxiliary support platform by a gearbox having an input operatively connected to the drive element and an output operatively connected to the auxiliary support platform, the gearbox being configured to transfer rotational motion from the drive element to the auxiliary support platform. 7. The rack of claim 1, wherein the drive element is configured to be driven for rotation by an electric motor. 8. The rack of claim 1, wherein the drive element is connected to the main support platform by a rotational support. 9. The rack of claim 1, wherein the main support platform is configured to be supported within an interior cavity of the cooking oven. 10. The rack of claim 1, further including a rotational drive member operatively attached to the main support platform and operatively attached to the auxiliary support platform for causing rotational movement of the auxiliary support platform relative to the main support platform, wherein the rotational drive member includes a gearbox. 11. The rack of claim 10, wherein the drive element is operatively connected to the gearbox. 12. The rack of claim 11, wherein the gearbox includes an input operatively connected to the drive element and an output operatively connected to the auxiliary support platform, the gearbox being configured to transfer rotational motion from the drive element to the auxiliary support platform. 13. The rack of claim 1, further comprising a programmable electric motor to vary the speed of the drive element according to a predetermined program. 14. A method of more evenly cooking food items, the method including: opening a door of a cooking oven;placing a rack in the cooking oven, the rack including a main support platform having a first support frame, andan auxiliary support platform having a second support frame and a plurality of elongated support members attached to the second support frame to form an auxiliary support surface, the auxiliary support platform being rotatable connected to the main support platform to permit rotational movement of the auxiliary support platform relative to the main support platform;placing a food item on the auxiliary support platform;closing the door of the cooking oven;actuating a switch, the switch actuates a drive element that is operatively connected to the auxiliary support platform and rotates the auxiliary support platform independently of cooking oven operation; andcooking the food item for a desired time,wherein the drive element is supported by a heat seal within an opening of an oven wall, the heat seal inhibiting heat loss through the opening.
