Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue SR8016 Stainless-Steel Beer-Can Chicken Rack with Drip Pan

Durably built from stainless steel, this innovative rack and drip pan make Beer Can Chicken practically fool-proof. The unit’s square design ensures stability, so there’s no need to worry about the bird tipping over or the beer spilling. Its metal rack will hold either a beer can or the included stainless-steel canister, which can be filled with something other than beer, like wine or fruit juice. Simply clean the bird and place it over the beer can or canister, legs down, so it stands upright like a tri-pod for cooking. The metal pan collects meat juices for making gravy, plus it prevents the fat drippings from creating flare-ups. For added convenience, two loop side handles offer easy transport and all the pieces can go in the dishwasher for quick cleanup. The beer-can chicken rack with drip pan measures 9-3/5 by 7-2/7 by 5-1/2 inches.
